Blank Page to Submitted: Step by Step Guide to Writing Your Personal Statement [8/20/2026] (Recording)
Writing an MBA personal statement can be challenging when you’re trying to turn your experiences and goals into a clear, compelling story. This session is designed for MBA applicants who want practical best practices for writing stronger essays and a better understanding of what makes a personal statement effective. Ben and Allie will walk through key principles for developing your story, structuring your essay, and strengthening your writing, with examples to show what these principles look like in practice. Attending live gives you the opportunity to bring your specific questions, whether you’re starting from a blank page or working through a particular school’s prompt, and get a direct response in the moment. Ben and Allie will share the advice and techniques they use when working with MBA applicants and, where helpful, walk through example essays to show how strong writing decisions come together. If you want practical guidance you can apply to your own essays, it’s worth joining live.
