MBA Essays
Your essays will give us an idea of your personality, perspectives, and
opinions and will let us know how closely your professional objectives match
the objectives of the MBA program. Below you’ll find five essay areas. All
applicants must answer number 1. You must also choose two of the next three
essay questions (2 through 4). Number 5 is optional. Please limit each essay
to no more than two double-spaced pages.
Finally, please include the essay number and your name at the top of each
sheet.
We encourage you to be informative, creative, and concise.Mandatory:
1 Please discuss your post-MBA short- and long-term professional goals. How
will your professional experience, when combined with a Kelley MBA degree,
allow you to achieve these goals?
Choose two of the next three:
2 Describe an ethical dilemma that you faced in your professional career.
How was it resolved and what did you learn from the experience?
3 Suppose you had to choose three people—people alive now or people from
another era—to travel with you on a cross-country automobile trip. Who would
you choose and why? What would you hope to learn from them?
(Think carefully about the company you want on those long stretches through
Nebraska or Kansas.)
4 Describe what there is about your background and your experiences that
will contribute to the diversity of the entering class and enhance the
educational experience of other students.
Optional:
5 Is there anything else that you think we should know as we evaluate your
application? If you believe your credentials and essays represent you
fairly, you shouldn’t feel obligated to answer this question. |
