May 24: Essay Writing Workshop (Kaplan – New York)

How can you write essays that grab the attention of MBA admissions committees? mbaMission Founder/President Jeremy Shinewald will use this simple but often perplexing question as the starting point in a seminar for prospective business school applicants, walking attendees through a series of examples and challenging their understanding of the essays. The goal of this seminar is to help you uncover your stories, craft compelling opening lines, develop meaningful goal statements, connect your goals to your target school’s resources and more. A Q&A session will follow the presentation, after which Jeremy will remain to respond to any additional inquiries.

Time: 7:00-8:30 p.m. EST
Location: Midtown Kaplan Center, 131 W. 56th Street (between 6th and 7th Ave)
