MBA Essays
The full-time MBA Program Admissions Committee
considers numerous factors when evaluating an applicant's qualifications for
admission. Key qualities such as past academic performance, analytical
reasoning capabilities, and full-time work experience are reflected in
information required by other sections of this application. In addition, the
committee has found that two other qualities bear heavily on a candidate's
ability to contribute to the MBA program and to experience long-term
professional success. Those qualities are the subject of the following two
essay questions. Limit answers to the equivalent of one single-spaced
type-written page per essay.
1. Much of management education requires analysis of
complex business situations. Students are expected to consider all available
quantitative and qualitative data, formulate and evaluate alternatives, and
make recommendations. Since there are often no correct or incorrect answers,
the educational value of the exercise is only complete when the student
receives feedback on their analysis. Ideally the student would present the
work to the class and the instructor and would then benefit from the
collective response. Unfortunately, there is insufficient time in class for
everyone to have their work evaluated in this manner. Consequently, the
education process relies heavily on students receiving feedback on their
work from the study group of which they are a part. Typically, study groups
include people with different backgrounds and perspectives, so the feedback
can be as valuable as possible. What strengths, skills, and experiences do
you have that would make you a particularly valuable member of a study
group?2. Because the Marriott School MBA
program receives substantial financial support from the tithes of the LDS
Church, the faculty and administration are committed to advancing the
mission of the Church as they operate a nationally recognized MBA program.
Thus, the goals of the MBA program include the melding of spiritual and
secular truths in your studies, as well as sharing the benefits of your
education with people throughout the world. Please describe ways that the
program might realize these goals and what role you might play in those
efforts. Statement of Intent
Prepare a personal statement on a separate
document and upload into your application.
The purpose of the personal statement is to provide information which is not
included in your application or academic records and which may be useful to
the admissions committee. Write a carefully constructed statement of your
academic preparation and goals, indicating how graduate work fits into those
goals. This statement gives your department admissions committee an
opportunity to learn several important things about you, including, but not
limited to, the following:
- your preparation and background for the program to which you are
applying and the special emphasis you hope to pursue in it,
- your academic or professional goals and reasons for your choice of
career,
- your particular academic or professional reasons for applying to
Brigham Young University and the scholarly or professional contributions
you expect to make to your program;
- your expected graduate degree completion date, and
- (optional) any special circumstances you wish the department to
consider, such as whether or not you plan to attend full-time,
circumstances that may have affected undergraduate academic performance,
test scores, etc.
