		<description><![CDATA[Over many years I&#8217;ve written extensively &#8212; both here and in my book &#8212; about the weakness-failure MBA admissions essay and how to approach it. In fact, it has to be about 8 years since I pioneered the notion of using the failure essay to position the applicant as a leader, because all successful leaders have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Super Bowl time. For me this mostly means Augusta (and Spring!) is just around the corner. But the football is always watchable and, as everyone knows, it&#8217;s as much all about the half-time show and of course the ads &#8211; which I believe for Super Bowl XLIV cost more that $2.5m for a 30-second [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the biggest problems I have as an MBA admissions adviser – friend, coach, confidant, drill sergeant, etc., to applicants trying to crack top-tier schools – is explaining to clients that &#8220;good is nice, great is nicer,&#8221; but neither will get you into a top-tier MBA program. Only &#8220;good + special&#8221; will get you [...]]]></description>

Stanford Adcom do really want to get to know the real you through your writing. This year the flavor is the same, but (and possibly to avoid waffle) some important tweaks have been made in the optional essays to shift the focus squarely towards communicating [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Entrepreneurship plays well in admissions. This is because business schools want to put their effort into and brand on the person who will build great new companies or institutions, rather than someone who will become a salaryman, no matter how big the salary.
