Before copying someone's MBA Application essays understand why Business Schools are using essays to evaluate your candidacy.
1) A strong essay requires introspection, originality and depth of ideas.
2) The quality of your ideas and the clarity with which you express your goals will help demonstrate your abilities to write and be persuasive.
3) MBA admissions committees are looking for leaders, not followers. Don’t make your essays clichéd and sound like what other MBA Aspirants might say.
4) Whatever your goal is in your post-MBA career, you will need to discuss why you are so committed to it, and how you plan to get there." If you cannot come up with a clear road map, it's likely that you haven't really investigated your stated goal and reflected on whether this is something you truly want to pursue.
There is nothing wrong in reading other people's essays but consider the process as a mean to inspire your creativity. When you start writing your essays introspect your story and use words, ideas, reasoning like you would do not like what other MBA candidates might sound like.
