This post is OLD. This was written in 2011. The MBA admissions landscape has changed radically since then.

@Anonymous, impossible to say in a vacuum of not knowing your full profile and how you've handled the other essays – but either/both of your ideas can work (provided you really WILL take it again and really ARE enrolled in a class!!).
