Write An Excellent Essay

Many MBA schools ask their prospective students to write an essay or answer an essay question which can provide the school with additional details about the student. If you feel that your GMAT score is low for your targeted school then it is important to focus doubly hard on the essay and allow that to reflect your strengths.

The student should not make the mistake of rambling on in the essay but should write a strong and effective essay that directly addresses the essay prompt.
