Essays

So, the essays are difficult. Prepare for them well.

I purchased this book, "Great Application Essays for Business School" and it is a very helpful resource. But, I have to point out that it seems a bit skewed to the US B-school model. The Insead questions don't leave room for the kind of expounding that the book suggests. Perhaps I'm just bad at writing essays, (TOTALLY possible).

I am only applying to Insead, for well thought out reasons. 1. Top-10 program, 2. 1 year, thus lower opportunity costs. 3. Huge entrepreneurship focus. 53% of the alumni start their own business. That is a fantastic statistic.

I need to turn in the application over to the school in the next week. Wish me luck!

Now, the only question is, what do I do if I don't get into the MBA program.

Honestly, I hadn't thought of that option. :( I guess I should start?
