I asked ChatGPT to write an MBA admissions essay. Here's what it wrote.

It's a combination of fun, a bit of terror, awe, and skepticism all rolled into one, like it probably has been for many of you.

How Many Jobs is Too Many Pre-MBA?
Didn't see much discussion around this topic. How many jobs (not counting internal transfers) is too many before applying to an MBA program? Obviously this depends on context like age, type of job, and more, but, is 2-3 the sweet spot assuming 3-6 years of work experience pre-MBA? My take is that...
Consequences of taking GRE for MBA applicants
Hi, I'm a prospective MBA applicant. I was wondering why people take the GRE instead of the GMAT when applying to b-school. Is there any consequences in doing that?

Screwed up badly on a video essay for MBA, am I done?
I applied to Kellogg and messed up badly on its video essay. I misread other websites and thought that I had 3 tries for each answer. I didn't like the first two questions and gambled on the third.

So, I recently got the WSO Business School Bible, and after making it through the 520-page book this week, I am honestly surprised to say how good it was.
