One of the most valuable steps of the Complete Essay Package is the process of identifying your raw material and constructing outlines for essays before you write them.
Yes, outlines.
If you’re smart, you’ll do this step on your own, even if you’re not getting EssaySnark’s input. Fully establishing your strategy BEFORE you start to write your drafts will save you time (and headaches!) later on.
Of course, getting feedback on those ideas can save you even more grief in the end — knowing where your thinking might be off ahead of time can be a lifesaver in the end. Even if you’re not going through our end-to-end support cycle, you can still get personalized input on your current essay strategy through an a la carte purchase of the Essay Ideas App Accelerator.
All App Acclerators include a tutorial that walks you through best practices for constructing your strategy. With the Essay Ideas App Accelerator, you’ll build out your strategy of topics for a specific school, and then submit those ideas to EssaySnark for a private review and detailed feedback. The Essay Ideas App Accelerator will literally tell you how to construct essays of each main type, with a structure for how to tell the stories, and it will help you self-assess what stories you should be including in the mix.
Then, you’ll write up your story ideas as outlines for the exact essay questions your school is asking, and send them for review. You’ll need to have them as literal answers to specific questions — what people often start from is much too vague. We often see people wander around in their essays with random references to various categories of experiences theyve had — but that doesn’t communicate much. The App Accelerators help you understand what needs to go into the esasys, and how to construct them.
The Essay Ideas App Accelerator guides you through a process of figuring out what your raw material is, then identifying how those pieces might fit together as a whole, and then breaking them down further into outlines for specific school questions that you can get vetted before actually writing your drafts. It lets you plan out the strategy and evaluate it before just wantonly starting to throw stuff around.
The best apps are ones that have a plan behind them. That’s how you can take advantage of everything in your background to full effect in showing the adcom how you’re a differentiated candidate who’s ready for bschool.
If you purchase the Essay Ideas App Accelerator as a standalone service, it’s $250. This includes the tutorial with best practices on how to construct the outlines for these different types of essays, plus a private review cycle with EssaySnark.
Or, if you’ve already purchased one of the other services like the Comprehensive Profile Review (which we highly recommend), then you can add the Essay Ideas App Accelerator on for only $100. A link to sign up is available on the special offers page within My SnarkCenter.
