Full Videos: MBA Essay Insight Event Series
Getting admitted into a leading MBA program requires more than getting high test scores and sending transcripts. To get accepted into the business school of your choice, you need to show the admissions committee who you really are. Therefore, schools typically include an essay portion in their MBA applications.
Essays give applicants the opportunity to tell admissions representatives why they want to attend business school and how this program would fit into their overall goals. Since this portion of the application process is where you have the chance to truly stand out, it’s crucial to know how to craft effective essays.
Clear Admit’s MBA Essay Insight Event Series was created to help applicants excel in the essay portion of their business school applications. During this series, representatives from leading business schools discuss what goes into successful MBA essays.

We cover the following topics throughout the series:
- When admissions committees read the essays in an application
- How much time they spend reading applications
- Essay prompts from each of the five programs
- The MBA student community at each of the five business schools

…and more advice to help applicants put their best foot forward during the MBA admissions process.
