Focusing on Leadership
One of Fisher's strengths is its dedication to developing leaders. Listed
below are 10 attributes that characterize great leaders. Please select the
two criteria that best describe your strengths and provide us with concrete
evidence to support your choices. You may submit physical objects, images,
photographs or photocopies, along with brief descriptions of how the objects
exemplify the leadership qualities you have chosen (i.e. you might share a
picture of time spent doing volunteer work in another country, along with an
explanation for how that experience has heightened your global awareness).
Or, you may choose to write an essay for each of the two characteristics you
select, describing situations in which you exemplified these leadership
traits. Please title each of your essays with the specific attribute (e.g.
"endurance") that you have chosen for yourself.
Please note: The Fisher College of Business will not be responsible for
returning physical objects to applicants.

Discovering You
As a Fisher MBA student you get the best of both worlds: the up close and
personal feel of a small program combined with the resources and
opportunities offered by a major research university. You as an individual
participant will play a key role in shaping our culture. For this reason, we
would like to learn more about who you are and what unique characteristics
you will contribute to the Fisher College community. Provide an honest
description of yourself outside your professional context, stressing the
personal characteristics you sense to be your strengths and weaknesses, and
the factors that have most influenced your development to date. If you would
like the MBA Admission Committee to be aware of any additional information
and/or special circumstances, we encourage you to include it here.
