The admissions essay… the single most powerful tool any MBA applicant has in their toolbox.

A great essay will make the difference between being forgettable and being unforgettable to the admissions committee. A great essay can compensate for almost any weakness in your profile, from a low GPA or GMAT to a long work gap on your resume.
