Reviews
"This book reads like a mix of Stephen King's On Writing and a book on writing Essays for MBA programs; the chapters are well-researched. The book reminded me to break away from a fixed mindset and connect memories for an authentic essay." - Verified Purchase
"I loved this book, in particular the chapters on leadership and storytelling. The sample Tuck essays were written with a balance that gave me several ideas on rewriting my own story." - Verified Purchase
"Writing Who You Are felt an impossible task. I copied several of Stanford's What Matters essay versions for the opening paragraph. Nothing worked and voila I found F1GMAT's Essay Guide. Thank you for the samples!" - Verified Purchase
Essay Editing - Work with Atul Jose (Founding Consultant and Essay Specialist)
With the word limit typically in the 250 to 500 range, it is not easy to structure the essay without losing momentum.
As F1GMAT’s Lead Consultant and Essay Specialist, I will help you structure the essay by:
1) Incorporating your Personal Brand
I will help you find unique life experiences that would differentiate you from the highly competitive M7 and T15 application pool.
2) Including Storytelling elements
I have developed a keen sense of storytelling from over a decade and a half of editing essays and writing essay examples for F1GMAT’s Essay Guides.
The skills that a writer/editor brings to the table are different from what a former admissions officer or a consultant who has limited writing skills brings
Review Skills # Writing Skills
Movie Critics # Movie Directors
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.
