($) The most important point to remember with your HBS essay.

August 26, 2014 by EssaySnark - Discusses Harvard

This post was written in 2014 for the Class of 2017 essay question - but the advice applies anew for the Class of 2019 (2016 applications).

You know when you’re digging in with a new topic and doing a lot of research on it and trying to ferret it out, when you don’t really know what it’s about? Not this applying to bschool stuff; we mean more like in your job, or maybe when you start to explore a new hobby…


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.
