B-School Essay Format

by LSUKnowIt » Wed Oct 29, 2008 7:43 am
In undergrad I was a journalism major. Needless to say, I learned and prefer to write in AP style or like something you'd see in a newspaper.

Is it okay to write my essays in AP style or should I write in the more traditional form? Thanks for your help

AdComs encourages applicants to write in whatever style they feel will best present their unique candidacy whilst answering the question and communicating their selling points. From my experience, usually the word count limit doesn't allow for too much creativity (without sacrificing important content regarding your candidacy).

Hope that helps,
