I have been struggling and procrastinating on the the open-ended, “optional” application essay for the Harvard MBA program. Today, I finally tackled this, did some serious self-reflection and came out with a first draft I am pretty happy with. Here is where I stand with my essay drafts so far in the application process:
Harvard Essay: Draft #1
Wharton Essay 1: Draft #5
Wharton Essay 2: Draft #3
Columbia Essay 1: Draft #3
Columbia Essay 2: Draft #2
Columbia Essay 3: Draft #2
This means that my applications are well underway for all my round 1 schools – big milestone and something to celebrate! Also, I have made some changes to my resume (which I thought was done) after getting some additional feedback on it. Lastly, I have completed my recommenders guide and I am providing it to my recommenders next week.
To celebrate my progress and truly make it Harvard Saturday, I would like to share some great video presentations one of my MBA-applicant friends had passed onto me a couple weeks ago. Lots of good info here, straight from the source – I hope you like them!
