Although I have not applied to any bschool this year
I couldn't help chipping in. I have visited this board
Occasionally and I have found it to be a treasure trove
of information. As a future applicant I find the views
put forward by inblue and iday to be the most useful.
When I started researching schools and
looked at the essays, that’s when my “introspection” began.
Now if I try to “cook up insights”, the insights won’t really
Be mine, will they? I feel cooking up insights beats the whole
Purpose and the adcom will not get to see the real you, which I
Think is the purpose behind the essays. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I just find it hard to believe that there are people who make up stuff
. I totally agree that one needs to spice up one’s essays,
But I feel a lot of people will be misguided if they are told to cook up
insights rather than being told to work on improving their profiles and
Introspecting.
@susie
Would you really recommend that a future applicant try out your
Method (I know you just did, but double checking

)? Did you go about the whole application process with this mindset?
I really wanna know, coz I really really like Ross and I find it hard to believe
That anyone could have followed this approach and obtained an admit. BTW congrats
On the Ross admit!!
