Overall I feel that the essays give a holistic picture of me. I am happy that I have another month to polish my essays and redraft them as I start getting feedback. After spending a couple of months on my life sketch and the first draft for HBS, I am sure it is high time to show it to others. An outsiders perspective will offer a lot of insight.
I will be sending out the essays for review in phases.
- My GF is having a look at my essays and giving regular feedback as I write them- so she qualifies as my first reviewer!
- Other than her- The first round of reviews will be done by a friend and my father. I want both of them to first let me know if the flow is smooth, the story interesting and the ideas coherent. I would also request them to give suggestions on reducing the word limit as both of them happen to be prolific writers.
- The second round will be done by a friend who knows me very well and has achieved great things in his own life. He will offer a fresh perspective to my essays and give candid feedback for sure.
- The last round will be done by two HBS graduates whom I know and have been in touch with. They will help me add finishing touches in addition to giving me a fair idea of where I stand.
I need to forget the HBS essays for now and get cranking on the W essays. Wish me luck!

Hey Bokaa, congrats on getting the first drafts of your HBS essays done! For me the review/editing stage has been much easier than that initial drafting stage.
