还想问一下当题目规定400字或600字为限的时候,可以写超过吗?比如实际490字而要求400字...提前谢了.

turning point, significant experience, a big leap of your understanding on leadership.

some say within 10% over the word limit is fine. but 490/400 is way too much, dont you think so?

I heard someone asking that question to HBS admissions at an event.  Her example was 20 words over, 420 total.  The answer is, just make sure you don't put anything important in the last 20 words.  Haha

灯火阑珊处

对这个也思考一段时间了，我的理解是对你关于leadership有观念性/决定性影响的经历,以及你从中对自己的self-awareness，这段经历是如何对你的leadership发展有着深刻影响的。

我第一篇写了480个字

Hmm.. I would see if you can cut it down, especially on the first one.  HBS is HUGE on being able to express your ideas in a concise way.  That'll just reflect poorly on your communication skills.

我理解应该是4楼大大的意思。有一点：好象任何一个学校的ESSAY都比较重视你从以往的经验中学到了什么，不论是成功的还是失败的经验（各校的问法可能有所不同）。具体到这一个问题，应该是从正面的角度——即成功的方面来写吧。

很菜地答一下——偶也在学习中。

thanks for all the answers...to update everybody, i just asked a HBS alumni in my company, he said it is a critical event in your leadership development.
