If the Business School expects you to write an optional essay only for a weakness and an applicant has no red flag, attempting an optional essay just to write for the sake of writing is not required.

Review instructions of the school for writing an optional essay. Be brief, clear, and direct and use the space wisely. Do not justify your mistakes, state your facts and how you added to your experience despite unfavourable situation. Be careful about the word limit.
