Anyone who’s started on their essays - how have you gone about brainstorming, especially for the more personal essay prompts? E.g., what matters most to you and why, when do you feel most alive, etc.

I personally started by writing down a mini biography, key inflection points, and my rank ordering / weighting of different personal values, then ran some of the takeaways by other people that I know. The themes that are emerging aren’t a huge surprise, but terrify to the why and making those stories come to life will take quite a bit more work on my part...

Thanks! Helpful way to get started.

It might be just me but the GSB app seems like the perfect one to start with. There’s a good balance of questions there: what’s important to you, why business school, what are your best accomplishments, and how has your background influenced your work experience. Strikes me as tough but fair and well-rounded.

I had the weirdest dream. Criminals were put in a gated community under observation and they had to successfully fake their own death to get out. They were given too many drugs and alcohol. But they end up killing each other or suiciding and no one is left. Once everyone kills themselves they bring in new inmates. It was insane.

My brain needs a rehab now. 🥺
