50 MBA Essays That Worked (50 Essays That Worked Book 2)

You’ve taken your GMAT, tightened the screws on your resume, and put in requests for your letters of recommendation. You’re so close to b-school you can taste the case studies.

Now it’s time to attack the main course: the essays. The part of your application package that will help you rise above your stats and pique the interests of the gatekeepers: the admissions committee. But, where does one start? What does a b-school essay even look like? How can you tell a GREAT story in only 500 words? Or only 200? What are schools really trying to find out when they ask you about your failures, your successes, your background, and your goals?

As a premier admissions consultancy, Admissionado has had the privilege of working with candidates from all corners of the world, all bound by a common ambition, each with a unique story to share. Here is a diverse sampling of 50 essays that led to admit letters from schools like Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, and Booth.
