The first question that pops into the mind of any student who has to write an essay is – Is it essential?

If you are convinced about writing essays, the next question is – What to write?
An MBA (Master of Business Administration) school application journey can be daunting with multiple elements to work upon. The one element that takes the biggest chunk of time is drafting essays. These essays give the admission committee qualitative cues to gauge the applicant’s persona that goes beyond academics and work experience, to reveal the true motivation, life values and larger goals, of the applicant.
There is no set formula or recipe to crafting a compelling story through your essay, but a structured approach can help. To get you started on your application journey, students from our founding class share their own experiences and thoughts.
As a Round 3 BITSoM MBA applicant, one important question you may have is whether applying in R3 puts you at a disadvantage.
Simply put, no you are not at a disadvantage.
Now coming to the detailed answer,
