3app's MBA application experience. Finally got into b-school. Thursday, February 26, 2004. You've probably seen Hugh Gallagher's college essay before. But for those who haven't, here's the gem:. 3A ESSAY: IN ORDER FOR THE ADMISSIONS STAFF OF OUR COLLEGE TO GET TO KNOW YOU, THE APPLICANT, BETTER, WE ASK THAT YOU ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCES YOU HAVE HAD, OR ACCOMPLISHMENTS YOU HAVE REALIZED, THAT HAVE HELPED TO DEFINE YOU AS A PERSON?

3app's MBA application experience. Finally got into b-school. Saturday, August 14, 2004. I’ve arrived in Boston. Well, Woburn actually. At under $100 a night (through Expedia), taxes included, the Comfort Inn is a great bargain. The room is spacious and offers free high speed Internet access. It’s definitely worth the 20 min. drive to downtown Boston. Cool things to know about North America:. Both Canada and the U.S. as they both became independent countries). 3) A good chunk of the English-speaking popu...

3app's MBA application experience. Finally got into b-school. Tuesday, May 25, 2004. Now that I'm done with my applications - once and for all, I hope - I do have a few things to contribute to the MBA advice blog. 1) creating an applicant scorecard:. Men's Health does it, and so does Cosmopolitan (apparently! So why not have a scorecard for MBA applicants? 2) offering my perspective on writing essays:. 3) writing a guideline for recommenders:. Posted by Three @ 3:41 PM. Thursday, May 20, 2004. I was done...

3app's MBA application experience. Finally got into b-school. Saturday, January 24, 2004. I went to see Big Fish. On Thursday. It made me wonder if applicants embellish their stories. I wouldn't be surprised if some do. Here are five examples of accomplishments commonly seen on essays and what they really mean:. 1 I enjoy listening the opinions of others - I enjoy listening how inferior other people's opinions are. 3 I get along with people - I get along with people I like.

3app's MBA application experience. Finally got into b-school. Sunday, September 26, 2004. I'm now in the Far East and just got back from a three-week trip in China. So much has been going on since my last post that I'm not sure where to begin. I guess I can start wth my first INSEAD interview. Him: "So tell me about more yourself.". Me: "Well, I consider myself extremely well-rounded (blabla).". Him: "Sorry, I meant about your personality.". Me: "Ok. I'd say I'm a funny guy.". Pps: One of the cool things...

3app's MBA application experience. Finally got into b-school. Thursday, November 18, 2004. No more studying for the GMAT, no more logging onto Embark, no more writing MBA essays, no more asking for recommendations, no more buying gifts for my recommenders, no more paying applications fees, no more telling people I'm applying to b-school, no more ranting about b-school, no more waiting for a decision, and no more getting dinged. I finally got into b-school. I'm going to HEC. I'll admit that the HEC MBA is...

3app's MBA application experience. Finally got into b-school. Thursday, October 21, 2004. It's sad that I'm getting used to these dings. When I got the news from INSEAD, I met it mostly with indifference. Granted I was disappointed with the result but it lasted maybe 30 seconds - just long enough to say damn and delete the message. After that, life simply continued as if it never happened. Thanks for the offer. How about a double amaretto instead? Posted by Three @ 1:30 PM. Friday, October 15, 2004.
