Ask Jason@沃顿 (my essays inside!) Free essay advice again~

There's something wrong with the first thread- it doesn't show up. So I'm starting a new one.

Original thread is here.

http://forum.chasedream.com/North_American_MBA/thread-373667-1-1.html

Update: the rest of the first page has some posts that I spent quite a lot of time writing out. I paste them here because

1) they provide a view into the life of a business school student, including both the positives but also the negatives. I'm sure many people know of the former (all the great reasons to do business school), but to truly understand "why MBA", I believe you also need to understand "why NOT MBA".

2) they serve as an example of the depth of introspection, self-awareness, and self-honesty you need to have- and that you need to reflect in your essays- in order to be successful in your applications. In this sense, you can consider them examples of business school essays.

Feel free to continue asking me any questions- about Wharton, Chicago, business school in general, etc. I prefer to take all questions here, since that way, everyone can benefit from the advice. This not only saves me time; more importantly, there is a reason why the case method is useful. We often learn well from the examples of others. (After all, that's why many of you are on CD, trying to understand what others are doing, right?) Hence, posting your own examples provides a case from which others can refer to, and learn.

Lastly, I have another thread for me to help you on your essays, if anyone is interested. Thread is here:

PS, feel free to email me at jason.teo.wg10@wharton.upenn.edu. I'm also happy to look at your essays to give you some tips.

白鹿白白

今年申请Master，从您的帖子获益良多，包括如何认清自己，谦卑而不失自信地说“我会成功因为我能够在贵校提升abc方面”，包括用词，包括对regular structure的肯定，包括why school & how to research schools...太多了。达则兼济天下，愿Jason一切都好，愿更多CDer发现这个宝藏帖，也希望自己，有一天可以站在别人身后支持，可以帮助更多的人。
Many thanks!
