ESSAY问题求思路

在回答ESSAY的问题how are you qualified此类问题时，思路应该如何呢？

我个人感觉回答此类问题是真的要去好好研究学校的CULTURE. 和他们学校MBA 的侧重点， 每个学校喜欢的东西不同。。根据这些来说自己为什么感觉自己qualified, 要写到重点。。我自己也第一次弄ESSAY,求高人来回答吧。

These kinds of essays are a bit like an elevator pitch. Recount your STORY (not a list of your accomplishments- that's what the resume is for). Think of it as this: you are a CEO of a firm trying to sell your company to investors. You got two minutes. Go.

In this case, 'your company' is yourself. Of course, when you are really pitching your company, you have to think about what the investors want. In this case, however, the 'investors' (business schools) are more alike than different. After all, isn't it true that they all want smart, well-rounded, leaders with strong social skills?

I would worry less about customising your pitch to each school, and focus more on painting a picture of yourself that includes a very bright and rosy future. Sell a vision. Tell them your vision of yourself, and pick and choose past accomplishments to substantiate that story.

PS, That's easier said than done. In my experience, cutting things out is often harder than leaving things in.

我遇到的题目是how are you qualified and how your participation would contribute to the program，个人理解这两个问题应该是完全不同的吧，也就是必须要先回答一个再回答一个，可否融合到一起呢，比如职业方面的经验丰富既是qualified 的原因，又是可以contribute to the program的。高人有什么建议呢？
另外我打算将the habit of educating myself最为我qualified的内容之一，再引出自己自我学习提升后在各方面的优势，不知是否妥当？
期待指点！
