Some cool schools give feedback

March 25, 2021 by EssaySnark - Discusses HEC Paris, Darden, Dartmouth Tuck, Yale SOM Leave a Comment

Dang. You didn’t make it in. 🙁 BUT WHY??? Most schools are explicit with a no-feedback policy. All decisions are final, and they’re unable to talk to you about it because they don’t have the bandwidth to field all of those calls. But some schools are much more generous with their time and attention and […]

($) essay critique! LSE Personal Statement

April 25, 2017 by EssaySnark 2 Comments

We spoke recently about the Personal Statement as part of an application to many (non-MBA) master’s programs, and voila! A Brave Supplicant has surfaced with a draft they want to be snarked up.

Oh wait! Two more schools!

January 28, 2016 by EssaySnark - Discusses LBS, INSEAD 6 Comments

Silly ‘Snark – we gave some options (slightly crazy ones perhaps) for schools that could still be viable (less crazy) for targeting at this time of year and we forgot the basics: London Business School, and INSEAD. Given that INSEAD just got named #1 bschool by FT, then you can expect their apps to rise, […]

We know how tempting it is to rely on others’ advice. Oh wait: We’re purveyors of said advice. We hope that you’re listening to what other people have to say, at least a bit! Otherwise, why would we be writing this, and why would you bother coming around to read it? Our goal is for […]
