I asked ChatGPT to write an MBA admissions essay. Here's what it wrote.

A couple of things. First, I think you may be overestimating the commitment time required to prepare for the GMAT. A lot of applicants are crazy busy, and still manage to squeeze in GMAT prep. Think of GMAT prep like physical training: there's a limit to how much you can or should do in a day. Every...

Thanks Alex. One quick question. I should be looking to go to a 4yr university to build an alternative transcript rather than a 2yr or community college? I am getting mixed responses that it doesn't matter but from your response, it seems that I should be looking at accredited universities. As long...

Absolutely, if you are reasonably confident you can score above 700, it's worth a retake. Your current GMAT is a concern, but not fatal given your nationality (schools say they want a diverse class, and while a lot of schools have a large international student population, it is heavily skewed toward...

You have enough of a shot that these top schools are worth applying to, and you've done a good job of choosing a mix of top 8 schools (Columbia, Booth) and top 16 schools (Stern, UCLA, Haas). To further lessen the "randomness" of the admission results, you may want to apply to 1-2 more sch...

My Specific Question – I want to study at one of the top 10 B-schools in the world. Is my profile deficient in any manner for such a goal? Can I apply this year itself or should I wait for another year (since average work experience at top 10 schools is approximately 5 years), to strengthen my pr...

Hi Alex, Thanks for the quick reply. Really appreciate the insights. I had another question that I should've listed, and was hoping to get your two cents. My first firm has a decent number of consultants in the top 8 (excluding H/S), but my second one doesn't. One can interpret this as adcoms think...
