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 start on September 15 with The MBA Connection in São Paulo, where Yale SOM will join six other leading business schools to engage with candidates in Brazil.
On September 17, Yale SOM will participate in the Consortium’s MBA Application Preparation Seminar (MAPS) in Raleigh/Durham, followed by two sessions of MAPS in Washington, D.C. on September 18, providing admissions insights, funding guidance, and networking with alumni and students.
