MBA Personal Statement Strategy: Crafting a Compelling Personal Narrative

MBA applications often include at least one essay prompting applicants to describe themselves and their personal stories through experiences that go beyond the applicant's resume, forcing the applicant to be introspective and reflect on different aspects of their personal, professional, and academic lives. If these essay prompts are not blatantly identified as personal statement prompts, how can we identify them? Additionally, since we all have so many personal stories that define different aspects of our identities and lives, how do you choose the right stories to tell the admissions committee? Furthermore, how do you keep these deeply personal stories limited to within the confines of strict word limits? And how do you ensure that these stories complement the rest of your application? Walk through solutions to these important answers and more with me during this livestream focused exclusively on drafting stronger personal statements. After the livestream concludes, participants will have acquired actionable strategies to take their stories from raw ideas to polished personal statements that will clearly and emphatically express to admissions committees why you are an ideal candidate.
