Hi Nikita

My profile

- I am a Chartered Accountant with 4+ years years of work ex in Financial Research + Retail Banking. No full time reportees as yet.

- GMAT of 720, taken in April 06

- BCom (H) from Hindu College, Delhi

I would love to get through LBS, Judge or the Said Business School. I will also be applying to the ISB and Manchester..

Currently, i am struggling with the essays, do u know of any good consultants in Delhi that can edit my essays.. Its tough to decide which events I should write to present myself as a "well rounded person"

What about u, which schools are u applying to and are u thru with ur essays?

I did not use any consultant. I prepared my own essays and asked friends to comment( mba friends) not random guy on the street.

Hi.. Have you applied to any other school in UK? Word limit of SBS essays allow u to write a lot about yourself and the events that have happened in your life. However, in other UK schools, there is a word cap of 400-500 words and it is difficult to select what to write.

Is it advisable to write as much as you can or only focus on 1-2 events? How do you structure the essays? Help would be appreciated
