It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. Share whatever you want but remember who you’re writing to.
There is a fine line between being candid, authentic, and then oversharing with TMI and presenting a sob story. Being authentic and sharing how the big family issue shaped your career path can be a total game changer in personalizing your application. However, many clients fail to understand the fine line, overshare, and get rejected. The rule of thumb is: will this make the reader feel uncomfortable? It's like oversharing on a first date. It makes people feel uncomfortable and is a red flag. And yet, there is TOTAL value in showing your personal side and it can differentiate you and get you accepted. For example, we analyzed apps for all of our successful MBA clients that we worked with at StoryCrafters MBA, and every single one who got accepted to Stanford GSB shared a family story in the "What matters most" prompt. The tricky part of threading the needle carefully. And it's really challenging to be objective about your own life.
Mention it and its impact on you briefly. Would be good to relate it to your journey and goals
Business schools admit PEOPLE, not resumes and work experience. If a personal experience informs the direction you want to take, by all means, share it!
I've worked with people who's engagement with the healthcare system (either for themselves or a loved one) motivated them to pivot into healthcare.
I've worked with individuals whose experiences with disordered eating made them want to create healthier foods.
