The Application Process

Happy Labor Day!

With just two days remaining, some of you may be wondering if you really introduced yourself well enough to get an interview. Below are some questions you can try to answer, and while this is by no means exhaustive, it should give you a sense of whether you have a good product or whether you need to make any changes.

Did you use a balance of personal and professional details?

Did you talk about your goals to some extent?

Is the essay engaging? Would your classmates be excited or bored to hear you read it?

Do you have one theme throughout the essay or are you trying to convey too many messages?

Does the essay convey important highlights of your background but leave the reader wanting more?

The "introduce yourself" essay can be tricky. If you are looking for a last minute gut check on your application, send me a note: [email protected]

Good luck everyone!
