I don’t think you need brand new ones. You should, however, have a different (better) story for why MBA/why (specific school) and your essays should reflect that change. Depends on the school, some review both years’ essays at the same time, some don’t... so keep that in mind when making the judgement call on how different to make them.

The main thing I believed helped me was the “what changed during the last year” essay. THAT one you should absolutely destroy by showing something big (i.e. promotion, change in career goals, etc).

How much did you change up your applications / essays? I’m more worried about essays. would be a real struggle to come up with complete original new ones but can obviously fix the rest of my app with updates since the last time I applied

I believe in the philosophy of learning from other's experiences, success stories, mistakes and regrets while keeping in mind that similar set of life events may unfold into totally different ways/outcomes for others as there are always too many variables in the equation called LIFE. People may arrive at different destinations at different times while being on the almost similar path.

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's ALM in Management. They both have the same requirements (generally speaking) including a capstone course that serves as a field immersion course with the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?
