Dear All,

Is it a good idea to seek help from for MBA essays, like accepted .com or etc. Most of the B schools recommend to keep your essays oroginal, is it better to send your original essays without having some professional make any changes in them?

Please advise. Thank you.

You should certainly write your own essays, since you need to express your personality, and it would be unethical if you didn't! But if English isn't your first language, if you're not confident about your writing skills, or if you just don't know where to start, it could make sense to have a professional help you. You need to come up with the ideas, and write a first draft. Then, the professional can help with the flow, the grammar and the writing style. He or she could also tell you if you are missing anything important. But the content behind the essay really needs to come from you.
You're hiring the professional to be your coach and editor, not to write the essays for you.

PS, judging from the mistakes in your original post, I would say hiring a professional probably wouldn't hurt! Or, if you have any friends who are very good in English, you could just ask them for help.

Thank you for your response Sally. I am not looking for someone to write the essays, but just an advice on what exactly the B Schools are looking for in the essays and the flow of information.

I think they just want you to answer the questions honestly, and provide examples and stories about your accomplishments. But they also probably look at the essays as a way to judge your English writing skills. So, you definitely want to make sure you don't have grammar mistakes!

Hello, personally, I would go for a professional service provider to correct my grammar and spellings: if that doens't cost me a fortune. But as Sally had mentioned, focus on the originality.
Cheers
