Hi Ravindar, It's great to see that you're really trying to find the right answer for yourself. What helps some people tremendously is to speak to alumni, preferably alumni that are similar to you or have similar ambitions to you.

Hi preetham82, Both stories have weaknesses. Before you brainstorm any further, try to understand why the business school you are applying to asks you this question. In the past few years, MBA graduates have played a role in the credit crisis and in several large scams. Business schools are getting ...

It is your mission to make the reader understand why you want the business degree and what the degree will help you do in the future. You want to make your reasons clear in the very first paragrap...

The answer is C. Because of the plural / singular issue addressed above, answers B, D, and E can immediately be excluded. A and C remain. Answer A is only problematic because "each of them has" would be the beginning of a main clause. For that to work grammatically, the two main clauses wo...

Hi Yellowho, "Each" goes with a singular verb. It is treated as a singular pronoun, even though it refers to more than one item. It's kind of like "team" or "army". They both refer to more than one person, but both go with singular verbs. Or think of it like this: if yo...

Hi GMATMadeEasy, Good point, and thanks to your remark I edited my post. "Create" and "discourage" are the two verbs that need to be parallel because they are part of two coordinated clauses with the same subject. However, on 2nd viewing, the main issue is "and." Really...

Hi ankur.agrawal, If you're asking when to use "have" and when to use "has," here's my response. "Has" is only used with the third person singular (he, she, it). "Have" is used with all other options (I, you, we, they). Nouns are always third person, either pl...

where do you think "preferring unconditional loans" is a complete sentece?! Hi Goldfinger2001, You're absolutely right, this part of the explanation does not make any sense. There is no need for that portion to be a complete sentence, and it isn't a complete sentence in any of the answer ...

Hi agresj, An MSRED may or may not be a great idea for your career. However, MBA admissions boards are weary of "eternal students." Some people apply for an MBA because they don't want to be on the job market, can't handle being employed, or feel they're not ready to make the leap. These a...

I was recently invited to the Kellogg Women in Leadership conference. Would writing about this experience help me in my admissions essays?
