申请MBA的人必看:美国人的“如何写MBA申请短文”

申 请MBA的时候,一般都需要些3到4篇短文,非常让人头疼。更头疼的是,国内这方面的资料很少,我只好去搜索英文资料了。还好,英文这方面有很多资料,这 里和大家共享一篇,概况性的一个MBA申请短文的写法。我是从 http://www.free-essay-writing-topics.com /index.php?page=general-mba-essay-tips这个地方copy的。全文很长,但也很有用。尤其是文章最后的几个注意 点,对于如何写MBA申请essay非常有帮助:
* If you speak a second language, say so in your essays. Don't bury that talent in the application paperwork and ignore it elsewhere. Admissions people may not always see it in the paperwork, and even if they do, they might not put it into the context of your career goals. Speaking a second language is a significant advantage when applying, so be sure to bring it up at least once in your essays.
* Don't spell the word "Kellogg" with only one "g." (You'd be surprised how many people do.)
* Don't quote inane facts about the school back to the admissions committee. "Nearly one third of the students at Darden were born outside the United States." Don't you think the reader knows how many international students he has in his own school?
* And especially don't quote a school's mission statement back to the admissions people. They know their own mission statements. In fact, don't quote anything from the brochures. The admissions people wrote the brochures and don't need you parroting their work back to them.
* Don't use the expression, "thinking outside the box" in your essays. I see it constantly, and so do the admissions officers. I'm sick of it. Don't use it. Ever.
* Don't use vague terminology and obscure industry jargon to describe the work you do. "We're a value-added services provider for mid-cap multinationals looking to penetrate third sector foreign markets." WTF?
* The problem with throwing jargon at an admissions officer is that he has never done your job and doesn't understand the jargon any better than you did before getting hired. Very few admissions officers have MBAs, so go easy on the jargon.
* Don't use weird words like "titillate." They make people wonder about you.
* Don't make excuses for screw-ups. Take responsibility for your mistakes.
