($) WRITING WEEK! Day 2: Reduce the Fluff Factor

August 24, 2021 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

It’s Day 2 of WRITING WEEK on the EssaySnark blahg! In case you missed our starting post: Don’t cheat your reader. Today we’ll talk about combining essay-writing strategy and tactics.


When you have hardly any space in a bschool essay, you need to make every word count.

Seems obvious, right?

If it were, then we wouldn’t see high level, vague, generic and ambiguous statements like this all the time:

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.
