Why we don’t provide sample essays — and even a warning from Duke about it

November 16, 2020 by EssaySnark - Discusses HKS, Duke Fuqua Leave a Comment

There are differing opinions on EssaySnark’s policy not to provide sample MBA admissions essays for you to look at as you are mustering up the courage to begin the process of actually writing some stuff to submit in your app. It can be confusing to get conflicting advice! We also totally understand the impulse to […]

($) Formatting your MBA application essays

September 5, 2017 by EssaySnark - Discusses UCLA Anderson

We’re cheating today. Instead of laying out a fresh post with detailed specs for how you should set up your Word docs for submission in your MBA apps, we’re refreshing an older one that captured some guidelines — and cheating even further, we’re starting with the instructions that UCLA Anderson used to include in its...

February 27, 2012 by EssaySnark

More on plagiarism.

February 15, 2012 by EssaySnark - Discusses Stanford GSB, Dartmouth Tuck, Michigan Ross 3 Comments

If you didn’t see our post yesterday, you should go back and catch up. We are talking about plagiarism. And how admissions teams now have a tool to detect it. Yesterday we mentioned that a couple BSers who apparently don’t follow us on Twitter had gotten all dramatic about this issue in posting comments on […]

Plagiarism.

February 14, 2012 by EssaySnark - Discusses Stanford GSB, UCLA Anderson 3 Comments

We know that none of you would ever cheat. You’d never lie on your application to graduate school. You’d never write your own letter of recommendation. You’d never copy an essay that you found on a website. (Or, 2016 version: You’d never lift key elements of a speech you were giving to a political convention. […]
