Hello,

I have a question regarding the optional essays on applications, specifically those that ask the candidate to write about any weak points in his or her application. I am applying with two years of post-grad work. For the programs to which I am applying, this meets the minimum requirement but is below the class average. My work experience has been in a fast track management role, so I would like to use the optional essay to present my managerial experience to the adcoms. My question is this: would two years work experience be considered a weak point although it meets the requirement? And is it enough of a concern that I should address it in an essay that specifically asks me to address weaknesses?

Thanks for your advice!
