CLASS OF 2021 CANDIDATES: EVERYBODY GETS IN

January 15, 2018 by EssaySnark 2 Comments

Ya ya ya, Round 2 processing is hardly even underway, and here we are talking about next season?!??

This post is a preview of where EssaySnark is headed for 2018.

You see, we are only in this game to HELP YOU GET IN.

Yet sometimes, BSers *don’t* get in.

Obviously if we could wave the magic snark wand and make everybody get in, we would!!!

We’ve been reflecting on what keeps certain BSers from realizing their MBA dreams. And we have been toying with some new ideas.

Obviously **all** of our products and services are designed to help people develop the right pitch to their schools. Every single one of our App Accelerators and packages and strategy guides was developed based on many years of real-world work with candidates trying to get in, to optimize the process and to guide them towards how they can come up with the right message to make the adcoms say “yes.”

And yet…

The reality is that things have changed. Programs are HYPER competitive these days. It’s not always enough to just write a decent sentence and capture your goals. Certainly a high GMAT score alone is no guarantee — it never was, but now it really is not.

And, the world is dramatically different today. Millennials are here, the schools are changing, we’re in a new era.

How can EssaySnark respond to the environment we’re in? How can we TRULY serve all of you?

How can we do EVERYTHING to help ALL of our clients make it in?

We have a new program under development that will be announced on this blahg in the coming months. It’s not ready yet. **You’re** not ready yet. Almost everyone reading this here is still hoping/praying/dreaming that they’ll get in for the Class of 2020 — and we hope that you do!!! The Class of 2021 peeps are mostly only now thinking about things like the GMAT and sighing their starry-eyed sighs about Harvard and Stanford and Wharton. Most of the ones who will eventually sign up for some Essay Decimators from the ‘Snark in the summer haven’t even found us yet. They’re not reading this.

But. For those of you who’ve been here awhile, who are reading this now. Who either didn’t get all the apps done that you’d planned and are nervous about Round 2, or are just feeling nervous in general, or for whatever reason may end up still hanging out here in March and May and June… This post is for you, to plant a little seed in the back of your mind, to not forget about the ‘Snark if you find that you’ll be needing to go on this merry-go-round once more.

We have some interesting ideas cooking behind the curtain. The mantra for 2018 is EVERYBODY GETS IN.

We hope you won’t need us this year!!! We hope all of your submitted apps are successful this time!!!!!!!!!!!

But just in case…

You may want to keep coming ’round.

« Previous: You made it! Now do this.
Next: ($) Which top bschools interviewed lots of applicants in Round 1? »

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.

Want EssaySnark's personal assistance with your MBA applications? Start with our menu of consulting services and please read the Help FAQ to learn how we operate. Still have questions after doing all that? Email Team EssaySnark at gethelpnow at essaysnark dot com.

Good luck on your apps, Brave Supplicant!
