This is a YouTube video titled "Why Including Results in MBA Essays Is Essential" created in July 2024. The content is a monologue or talk by a speaker sharing insights from 10 years as a top MBA consultant, emphasizing the importance of including quantifiable results in MBA application essays to stand out among other qualified applicants.
Did you know that MBA essays that don't include results are much more likely to fail after 10 years as a top MBA consultant, I've uncovered a lot of application secrets. This is one of the best ones. When you're writing your MBA application essays, your job is to convince the admissions committee that you're better than the thousands of other qualified applicants. However, a lot of applicants work really similar type jobs, so how do you prove that you're better than the rest? It's actually really, really simple. Include quantifiable results in your essays when telling the stories about your career achievements. Including the results of the projects you worked on or the deals that you closed shows the admissions committee how you compared to your peers. If you worked on a deal that had a lot of impact, but your competitor worked on one that delivered a 50% cost reduction and was so good that it became a global best practice, I think it's clear who's getting in. Including results in your essays is the key to getting a spot at a top MBA program, and that's a secret worth sharing.
