Business School Essays

Highly competitive MBA programs require applicants to answer a range of questions about their background, goals and suitability for corporate leadership. In their zeal to learn more about the candidates, admissions committees frequently ask "non-traditional" questions about values, problems and ethical dilemmas. Many times, the strength of your essays will determine whether or not you will be invited for a personal interview. Before you tackle something this important, we recommend that you take the time to read several essays that worked.

For your convenience, we offer several packages of essays whose authors were accepted into Ivy League business schools. Despite their differences in backgrounds, work experiences, motivations and goals, these candidates convinced their readers that they were highly suited for business school. Some discussed their volunteer and work experiences, while others discussed career switches, family inspiration, or personal motivation to obtain an MBA. Depending upon the perspective you plan to use in your own essay, you might want to examine a variety of approaches and how they worked.

The essays of successful applicants will probably surprise you. They are seldom academic in nature, and may seem risky (or frivolous) to those who are diligently trying to put their best foot forward. That's why studying them is so valuable. They reveal the heart and soul of each writer and demonstrate what the candidate would add to the university. They were accepted because they caught the eye (and captured the heart) of a receptive admissions officer.

See what writing styles, themes and personal revelations impressed the committee and won admission for their authors to the most prestigious business schools in the world. Use them to gain insight into your own life experiences and write your own compelling essays. Gain the competitive edge and win the coveted Ivy League spot you deserve!

Note: Every essay that we sell was accepted by at least one top-tier business school (Harvard, Northwestern, Wharton, Chicago, UCLA, MIT, Stanford, Yale, NYU, Columbia, Berkeley). Many were also accepted at additional schools.
