November 9: Crafting a Winning Business School Application (Kaplan – New York)

How can you write essays that grab the attention of MBA admissions committees? In our latest event with Kaplan Test Prep & Admissions, Jeremy Shinewald, founder of mbaMission, will use this basic but often perplexing question as a starting point in a workshop for prospective business school applicants. Attendees will complete a series of exercises that challenge them to uncover their personal and nuanced stories, craft compelling opening statements, develop meaningful goal statements, connect their goals to their target school’s resources and more. A Q&A session will follow the presentation, after which Jeremy will remain available to respond to additional inquiries.

Date: Tuesday, November 9, 2010
Time: 7:00-9:00 p.m. EST
Location: Kaplan Inc. Headquarters, 888 Seventh Ave., 22nd Floor, New York, NY 10106
