I was giving final touches to my SOP today; when, suddenly, an intriguing question popped up in my mind, which has been titillating my nerves thereafter.

I am quite proficient in the arts of creative writing and story telling, and wanted to write my application the same way. But, some of my friends (after seeing the drafts)suggest that it won't be wise to follow such approach; instead they ask me to write the application in a more traditional and thoroughly professional manner.

Now, at the verge of submitting my candidature, I feel utterly confused and unsure on what approach will be wiser for developing my SOP

Moreover, I have horrendously been involved in Cultural and Extra curricular activities throughout my small but creative life, and believe that my most favorable chance of getting admits from my dream schools will depend on how I project of my creative/management side across the table. But, again, people tell me that, while accessing a candidate, the B Schools primarily look for people with high GMAT scores and academic successes while deciding the fate of a candidate.

Can Creative outlook and Extra-curriculars add weight to ones' MBA application?



Thanks & Regards
