In today’s episode, I will talk about 3 things that will make your essays realistic for MBA admissions - Dilemma, Opposing Forces and Conservative IMPACT Metrics.

Dilemma: Any interesting story or essay will have some element of doubt – on the choices you had to make. One way to do that is to clearly articulate the dilemma.

Opposing Forces: You don’t have to create villains in your narrative, but you can introduce opposing forces in subtle ways.

Realistic metrics: When in doubt, always use conservative numbers.
