quasi essay critique: HBS essay 1

August 3, 2012 by EssaySnark - Discusses Harvard

We have one more post stemming from our mania this week of trying to respond to those requests for free help. You know the assignment: Tell us about a time you did something well. To the BSer who sent the HBS essay about the project in Hawaii – we sorta like this, we sorta don’t….

While much of the blahg is available completely for free, the content here is reserved for members with full blahg access only ($9.95/month for six months, cancel anytime). Please login to view this content or purchase a membership.

So who the heck is EssaySnark, anyway?!

We're the snarky experts in MBA admissions!

Sometimes amused and often appalled by what candidates write in their MBA applications to top bschools, EssaySnark created this little blahg to share common mistakes. Learn from them and avoid making admissions directors laugh (or want to hurl) when they read your essays. If you are hoping to have your essay reviewed anonymously on the blahg for free, submit it for consideration.

Thanks for the essay review ES! And yes I do agree with you that this topic is indeed very risky. I appreciate your review and the career goals app review as well, it really provided me with much needed clarity. Hope to hear more from you soon.

  @CW, we didn’t say “very” risky… it could work for you! Depends on overall execution.
