Essay 1:  
基本上，这是一篇写法八股的goal + why school essay，学校去掉了一度令申请人一头雾水不知道和“professionally”如何区分的“personally”，问题更加直接明确。大家可以[alwayshide]简单梳理过去的career path，以此论证你接下来要在什么行业从事哪个function，说明这样的职位需要哪些知识技能是你现在没有或尚需完善的、可以通过Wharton课堂内外的什么资源来获得。全文要呈现出科学的career planning和对Wharton MBA的合理预期。[/alwayshide]

Essay 2:

如果说上一篇是关于“take”，这一篇则重点写你的“give”。[alwayshide]开头的teamwork很有迷惑性，我认为只是为了强调Wharton的很多活动是student-lead而已（其他学校也大致如此）。为了确保你“提供”的东西真的有价值、能被人接受，需要结合学校的具体情况来写——你可以为已有的传统活动、热门社团添砖加瓦，也可以创造资源引领新的发展，最重要的是将自己的强项与学校和学生的需求匹配起来。说到contribution，很多人容易简单粗暴地tout China element，比如中国的中小企业、古筝甚至麻将等传统文化。确实，对此我们很骄傲，但是sell给别人的时候，一要选对场合——Why should your audience care? 二要深度挖掘——你的经历和insights，跟同样背景的中国人有什么不同？写一个有理有据的argument。[/alwayshide]

另外我想顺便说一下推荐信，我觉得今年这两个题目给申请人很好的提醒，[alwayshide]你推荐信的内容应该relate to AO，而不是写得像工作review。很多人容易沉浸在详细的例子里不能自拔，忘了更重要的是由此总结出来的quality需要证明你值得被这个学校录取——作为学生，你的智力水平可以理解课堂知识，你的洞察力求知欲可以激起讨论的火花；作为毕业生，你具备了transferrable skill和其他的professional capital可以帮助你取得职业成功。[/alwayshide]
