It is easy to comment, but it is tough to structure the essay from the perspective of the applicant and turn the essay into a winning application essay.
3) Aligning with the Culture of the School
A big part of editing and guiding applicants is in educating them about the culture of the school
Some schools have very ‘specific’ traits that they are looking for in an applicant.
If you don’t highlight them and lean towards general leadership or cultural narratives, the essay won’t work.
I will guide you through the writing process.
I will also iteratively edit the essays without losing your original voice.
In-Person Events
The in-person events primarily consist of MBA Campus Visit Days, scheduled on 3, 6, 13, 17, 20, 24, 27, and 31 October, where prospective students can observe live classes, participate in student chats, and tour the campus to gain firsthand insight into Stanford’s MBA experience.
Additionally, Crafting Your GSB Story on 25 October offers an interactive, in-person workshop with a student panel and networking opportunities, helping attendees explore the MBA program, learn about the admissions process, and connect with current students, staff, and peers.
