Many applicants obsess over opening lines instead of the entire narrative. So much so that they forget that the purpose of the opening line is to spark curiosity about your story.

Here are 5 Openers to start an MBA Application Essay

1) Dialogue
2) Value Statement
3) Personal Crisis
4) Problem Statement
5) Context Statement

Best Practices for the 5 Types of Opening Lines:

1) Use Dialogues as openers if you have an unusual life and career path
2) Use Value Statement only if the events captured in the narrative align with the value in the opener
3) Start with an opener about a personal crisis but make sure that you don’t dwell on the negative event
4) Use a problem statement if the goal is larger than you; that is, helping a community, a demographic, a neighborhood, or a country. 
5) Use Context Statement for traditional goals essay or essay with less than 300 words
