在申请就读MBA的过程中最重要的文件就是essays。Top B-School录取的标准有这么几项：有份量的工作经验、优异的GMAT成绩和出色的essays。若是你已经达到了700分以上或是接近700分，那么你就应该花大力气把短文写好，使你在众多的申请者中脱颖而出。
出色地完成B-School要求的短文的确是件非常困难的事情，北美的申请者们对这个任务往往感到力不从心。较好的英语表达能力、清晰的思路，只是写好短文最最基本的条件。在此基础之上，申请者还必须准备理解短文的题目并且把短文写得生动而独特。
Top B-School一般安排至少五个人评审每一位申请者的材料。如果他们一致欣赏某一位申请者的材料，他／她就基本上被录取了。每一位审读者都要读几百份，甚至数千份申请材料。阅读每一份材料的时间只有短短的几分钟，所以如果你写的短文不能吸引他们，你就会被淹没而丧失机会。
因此，你千万不能把短文写得乏味。不论是在北美还是在中国，申请者普遍的错误是试图猜出提问者需要的答案，然后采取迎合的态度，写出四平八稳、不偏不倚的文章来。这样的文章往往过于概括、笼统，缺乏新颖生动的细节。用英语的术语说，你不能使用generalities和platitudes，你一定要依赖specificity。 怎样才能展示自己的独特性（uniqueness）呢？
有一位申请者对我说，她在一家国际知名的跨国公司驻京办事处工作，把她的中国文化背景、跨国公司的工作经验写出来，与北美的申请者比起来不就很独特了吗？
的确，这样的背景与北美的申请者比较起来是够独特了，但有这样背景的人很多。改革开放至今，大量的外资涌入中国，的确在中国培养了一大批年轻的商务工作者。他们工作勤奋，雄心勃勃，有许多人都有去北美第一流商学院学习的愿望。但现在第一流商学院的录取竞争十分激烈，它们每年在中国的招生人数非常有限，这就决定绝大多数的申请者得不到这样的机会。因此，国内的一个成功的申请者不仅要考虑到国际的竞争者，更要考虑到来自同胞的竞争。
商学院的录取评审者十分强调“有质量的工作经验”（quality work experience）。所谓“有质量”就是说，申请者应该在这样的工作经历中学到或有机会展现领导能力、管理才干或潜在的管理才干。值得注意的是，这样的能力和才干，并不像大学的平均成绩或GMAT成绩那样有具体的数字做标准。你到底是不是有能力和才干，在很大程度上取决于你自己的表达。在叙述自己的成就的短文中，你不能笼统他说你在管理工作中遇到了许多挑战，因为我们可以说所有的工作中都有挑战，没有一样工作是容易的。你应该非常具体地叙述是什么样的挑战。在叙述中要有具体的人物和情景。
有些申请者在得到这样的咨询后，以为现在需要做的就是编故事了。但你千万不要低估评审委员们的洞察力。他们怎么会不知道“领导能力”、“管理才干”这些素质并没有硬性的指标，他们大多阅读过成千上万篇短文，在判断真伪上十分有经验。所以，在尽量生动地展示自己的过程中不能背离诚实这个原则
除了以上谈到的要求以外，究竟应该以什么样的风格来写作这些短文呢？比方说是否可以写得抒情一些、幽默一些？我们建议你不要这样做。中国申请人的英语水平往往是有限的，要想在英语写作上玩什么风格一般只能是自讨苦吃。北美的申请者中的别出心裁和自作聪明也不乏其人。几乎所有的评审委员者都表示他们痛恨矫揉造作。另外，他们一致指出，MBA是严肃的专业培训项目，申请者应该把短文写得正式一些。
十分不希望给读者留下一个错误的印象，即为了生动和具体，在短文中一味地叙述或是讲故事就可以了。生动和具体的例子是用来说明你的某种品质或某种观点的。比方说有一位申请者讲到他的母亲怎样含辛茹苦，在极其困难的经济条件下培养他上学。他可以把这一经历写得生动而感人，但评审委员会想知道的是有这样的经历、这样的母亲给他带来了什么影响？换句话说，他应该说明苦难的经历造就了他的坚强的性格，或者说他母亲的牺牲使他成为一个有责任感的人，等等。由此我们知道，在写作短文的时候，应该把叙述和分析结合在一起。 短文的内容
你是不可能用二三天时间或是一个工作周的业余时间来写出一套出色的短文的。根据我们的经验，从思考短文问题到最后成文起码要两周的时间。在写作这些短文之前，你应该围绕着“独特性”来仔细地反思自己的全部经历、能力、抱负和追求。你还要有一个非常明确的目标，那就是，你应该塑造怎样的一个自我形象。在这个思考的过程中，你要反复地用“独特性”来检验你计划塑造的形象，看它是否生动、真实、有说服力。塑造形象的材料是什么呢？那就是你的生活和工作中的经历。你要仔细地搜索、锤炼这些片断和经历，而把具体的塑造技巧也就是短文写作上的细节安排放在后面。
你应该在如下几个方面做重大而深刻的思考：
关于工作：1）什么样的工作最能调动我的积极性，或者我的工作中的哪些方面最让我感到振奋？2）我在什么样的工作上最能发挥我的特长？我还欠缺什么？3）我最喜欢什么样的工作环境？4）我是一个优秀的管理者吗？或者，我具备一个优秀的管理者的素质吗？我有什么具体的例子对自己做出评价？5）我更适合在一个群体里工作还是独自工作？6）我喜欢与什么类型的人在一起工作？7）我是否适合与数字打交道？
今后的目标：1）我在事业上的目标是什么？（包括五年的和十年的时间）2）今后我最乐于在工作中运用MBA下的哪一门专业？3）我最钟情于哪一类工商企业？4）如果我想通过MBA的学习来改变我目前的职业，我的理由究竟何在？我目前的工作为什么妨碍我才能的发挥？
大学生活和业余生活：1）我在校园内参加过什么活动？这些活动是如何锻炼了我的领导能力和管理能力？2）我在大学本科时学到的知识和技能对今后的MBA学习有什么帮助？3）我在大学期间最重大的成就和最大的失误是什么？这对我有什么影响？4）我的朋友们对我有什么感觉？5）我为我的性格感到骄傲吗？为什么？6）我最严重的个性缺陷是什么？7）我有什么业余爱好？8）在我的一生中谁对我的影响最大？为什么？9）在我的一生中有什么重大的事件帮助塑造了我的价值观？ 常见的短文问题分类
（一）关于以往职业发展，今后的目标。这几乎是每个学校必问的问题。当然，每个学校的措辞会有些不同。如下面的几个例子：
Briefly describe your career progression to date. Elaborate on your future career plans and your motivation for pursuing a graduate degree at Kellogg. Why are you seeking an MBA from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, how have your professional experiences influenced your desire to continue your education, and what are your plans and goals after you receive your degree?
Please discuss your long-term career goals and the role the MBA wil1 play in those plans. (Duke's Fuqua School of Business)
评审委员会提这个问题的目的是看你在生活中是否有一个明确的目标以及你对实现目标的坚定程度。许多学校都让你把今后的打算和上他们学校的MBA这一决定联系在一起回答，其目的是考察你的决定是否成熟以及你对该MBA项目的态度和了解程度。
（二）介绍自己以往取得的成就。这类问题的形式有如下几种：
Describe your three most substantial accomplishments and explain why you view them as such. (Harvard)
Tell us about one or two accomplishments in your life that are not presented elsewhere in this application. Why are you proud of them?
评审委员会的意图是了解你在申请读MBA之前在工作或生活上的成就。回答这类问题的关键是不要只谈工作上的成就，给人印象是这个申请者的生活是one-dimensional，好像除了工作就没有别的了。
（三）比较难处理的道德问题（ethical di1emmas）。尽管我们认为没有哪所商学院声称教授“伦理学”，但许多学校开设有关课程，让学生对工商管理中可能出现的难处理的道德问题有初步认识，并促使他们思考以后工作中遇到类似情况时应如何处理。如哈佛商学院开设诸如“管理中的道德难题”等选修课，在弗吉尼亚大学，职业道德被视为MBA教育的基础，全体一年级学生都要学习有关的必修课程。#p#分页标题#e#
由于道德问题在当今MBA教学中日益受到重视，在申请过程中遇到类似问题，就不足为奇了。其中，典型的问题包括：
Describe an ethical dilemma that you have personally encountered. What alternative actions did you consider and why? Do not tell us what you decided to do. (For purposes of this question， ethical is defined as "in accordance with accepted principles of conduct".) (Stanford),
What is the most difficult ethical dilemma you have faced in your professional life? Articulate the nature of the difficulty. Upon present reflection， would you have resolved this dilemma in a different manner? (UVA)6
对大多数申请者来说，写关于“道德难题”的短文的第一步是先绞尽脑汁想想有什么题材可写。在你几年的工作经历中，可能根本没遇到过让你在道德方面进退维谷的情况。这时你要仔细考虑过去工作中发生的事情，可能有些你曾经不屑一顾的小事，就是你苦苦寻求的素材。记住要有创造性。
对另一些人来说，这样的题目给他们一个机会讲出已在心中藏了许久的故事。如果你属于这种情况，就把它讲出来。
但请读者注意，这类题目的目的并不是让你责备过去曾蔑视过你的人。你对以往道德问题的反思应是不偏不倚，考虑周到，并且是有创见性的。读者还要注意，有些学校要求作者说明自己是如何解决这些道德问题的，而还有些学校只要求讲述问题的具体情况，不要求提供解决方法。
（四）有关领导能力的问题。在MBA申请者应具备的多种素质中，实际的或潜在的领导才能占据着重要地位。许多学校会问申请人过去的领导经历方面的问题。例如：
How would you describe the strengths that you bring to situations requiring leadership? What areas of your leadership competence do you hope will undergo further development? (Harvard)
FDescribe a significant leadership experience, decision-making challenge, or managerial accomplishment. How did this experience affect your professional/personal development? (UVA)( ?9 S' [9 h# u$ G: E5 U8 D& K
在考虑如何回答这类问题时，思路要开阔，记住领导才能并不只是体现在工作中。
（五）有关社区或课外活动方面的问题。这类问题给申请人一个很好的机会向招生委员会展示自己工作之外的其他生活侧面，突出自己与众不同之处。这类问题的形式是多种多样的：
List your involvement in community, extracurricular, and professional activities. Please indicate the dates of your involvement, the scope of your responsibilities, whether you were elected or appointed to leadership positions, and the offices held. (University of Chicago)
What one nonprofessional activity do you find most inspirationa1, and why? (Wharton)
For fun, I ________. (Kellogg)
申请人应该充分地利用这类问题，充分展示自己背景中工作经历之外的能吸引录取委员会的地方。这里我们给读者举出几个例子，希望读者认识到回答这类与工作经历无关的问题可涉及的题材是非常广泛的。
（六）有关申请人的良师益友的题目。录取委员会可以通过你对自己良师益友的描述，了解你的事业发展情况。这类问题例如：
Describe the characteristics of an exceptional manager using an example of someone whom you have observed or with whom you have worked. Illustrate how his or her management style has influenced you. (Tuck)
（七）有关个人优缺点的问题。例如：
What character traits do you consider your strengths? (HBS)
I disappoint myself when I am ________. ((Kellogg)
（八）选择性的题目。许多学校利用选择性的题目给申请人一个机会，让他们加入一些无法包括在申请材料基本格式中的材料。例如
What would you like for the Admissions Committee to know about you, that might not be apparent through the materials in your fi1e, before we make a decision? (Duke University's Fuqua School of Business)
What e1se would you like to share with the Admissions Committee that is not presented elsewhere in your application? If you feel that your credentials and application represent you fully，then do not feel obligated to write anything more. (Wharton)(Optional)2
Is there any other information that you believe would be helpful to the Board in understanding you better and in considering your application? Please be concise. (Harvard)
申请者应该抓住这样的机会，抛开在申请过程中一直恪守的死板格式，充分展示自己，加深评审委员会对你的了解，扩大自己的录取机会。
需要提醒读者注意的是，写“任选”短文，不要局限在工作或学业领域内。因为这两方面的内容通常已经体现在申请材料的其他部分了。申请人应运用“任选”短文向评审委员会展示自己的另外一个侧面，突出自己的与众不同之处

As a international corporation, it’s important to have a good leader to manage overseas companies, when hire a overseas manager, we must very careful. So as vice president of human resources for a global manufacturing, I have three candidates to be responsible for the company in Chile, all of them have advantages and disadvantages.
Candidate A’s best advantages are individual and he can speak Spanish, we know that Chile locate in South America, its offical language is Spanish, so if he ge to Chile, he could communicate with local people well. And also ,he has been working since he graduated from school two years ago in operations management, it means he has experience to work, he is young, he has a lot of room to show his ability, he is more creative than the olds and he has no obsrtuction of familiy, he can go to Chile anytime. But he nver travelled aboard, that’s his disadvantage, I won’t doult his ability for work, but I will doult his life in foreign country, it is helpful that he can speak Spanish for him, but I think he may not know the customs in Chile, this may limit the development of corporation. And more, he just has two years experience for work, that’s not enough to manage a company in aboard. When our company wants to develop a new market in Chile, if he takes charge of it, it will waste a lot of time and resources on it. He needs a experienced people to help him.
Candidate B has a technical college education and has worked for the company for the past 18 years, moving up from the factory floor to a management position at headquarters, that means he knows every detail of company. If he hire as the manage of Chile, he will soon operate the company well, and also he has travelled extensively for the company., he knows how to open up new markets for the company, and keep the market well and knows how to manufact products. And next, he also has many disadvantages for this job, first he has got married and has three school-age children., it will be a trouble for him. Because it’s hard for everyone to leave his family, if his family go to Chile with him, the education for his kids will be a problem. Also , he does not work outside the home, that’s to say, he has no experiences about working aboard for a long time, when he work aboard, he may not be familiar with local life, he may take a long time to adapt it, and it will influent his work. He also can not speak Spanish, it will be very hard to communicte with local people, if he ask a traslator go with him, it will be a waste. The more, he has worked for the company for the past 18 years, compare with young people, he lacks of energy and creative ability, he could be a good manager in a corporation, but as a manger in a new market, it’s really hard for him
Candidate C also married but he has no kid. The person has a university education and has worked for the company for the past 18 years. He also has the same advantage as Candidate B, his theoretical knowledge is the best, and he need not worrid about the education of his kid, he can ask his family go to Chile with him. He has travelled extensively on company business. He knows a lot about company’s business, it is helpful when he wants to open up a new market. In business, still he is a lawyer, he can soon pay attention on local lawyer, it’s importantto help company to survive in Chile. A company wants to have a good future in other country, the manager must know local customs and laws. Still he haso has his own disadvantages. Because he is a lawyer but not a manger, if he could mange the company is unknown, though he has worked in this company for 18 years, what he cares is just lawyer. And he can’t speak Spanish, either, when he go to Chile, it will be hard for him to communicate there. He also needs a assistance there, it also will be a waste for the company. And we are a manufacturing company in Chile, he may has no experience to make products
In all, three andidates all has their advantages and diadvantages. No one is perfect, as vice president of human resources, what I need do is to arrange them to the best position. Here, I think all of them are suit for this position, I can’t make them perfet, but if they can learn, they will do a good job there
