($) essay critique! Yale SOM “deep and lasting impact” and “influence”

December 15, 2015 by EssaySnark - Discusses Yale SOM

We have this thing where we sometimes review BSers’ essays for free, out in the open, here on the blahg. It’s definitely not the same level of feedback that you’ll get with a formal Essay Decimator but for you cheapskates desperate types eager and willing stalkers of the blahg, it’s something we do. This essay…

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.

Quick follow-up: The BSer who wrote this essay did in fact end up getting in somewhere great! And promised us multiple times that they would write a story about their experience to post here on the blahg…. but alas, the BSer has stood us up. We still thought it was worth mentioning the success, though.

  Since Yale’s SOM Application Essay question is behavioral, I wanted to check how different the essay could be compared to other colleges that directly require the candidate to address why they want to pursue an MBA at this point.
  
  I plan on answering this question by discussing my commitment to turn vegan. This commitment does not directly tie to my work experience, but it does represent how I go about making decisions. Am I expected to talk about my professional experiences or future aspirations? Or can it be purely personal?
