The University of Michigan Ross
School of Business is a program that emphasizes learning both inside and
outside the classroom, and is seeking candidates that are intellectually
curious and able to accomplish their goals. At the same time, fit is a crucial
part of the Ross evaluation process and the school wants to know that you have
investigated the program thoroughly and know why you want to attend. When you
are approaching this set of essays, think carefully about how you will best
illustrate your fit with the Michigan MBA program.
This year Ross changed the essay
questions significantly to focus on what you are most proud of both personally
and professionally. While previous years' essays focused on career goals and
why MBA, this year the questions require introspection and a demonstration that
you learn from experience.
Essay One: What are you most proud
of professionally and why? What did you learn from that experience? (400 words)
Intellectual ability, professional
achievements and teamwork are all among the qualities the Ross admissions
committee is looking for in applicants. As you consider topics for this essay
focus on the ones that will demonstrate you are a strong leader and that you
can learn from experience.
One possible source of ideas are the
inflection points in your career. When did you face a turning point or make a
big decision about your career? What were some of the most challenging projects
you have been part of? Have you been surprised by what you have done well at in
your career?
In some cases you may be most proud
of an accomplishment because of what you learned and how it shaped your career.
In other cases the follow-up questions are two separate components of the
essay.
Either way the why behind your pride
in accomplishment will reveal what you value most - whether prestige, credit,
or the motivation to achieve your goals. Make sure that your values are aligned
with how you want to be perceived by the admissions committee.
Essay Two: What are you most proud
of personally and why? How does it shape who you are today? (400 words)
The personal is equally important to
Michigan Ross, and the MBA program is designed to help you develop your
leadership skills both in terms of professional accomplishment and personal and
community interests. The personal attributes the admissions committee are
looking for in applicants include community engagement and interpersonal,
communication and teamwork skills.
When you consider topics for this
essay you may want to write about an important extracurricular accomplishment,
a challenge you overcame, or an event in your life that highlights something
unique about your background. For example, if you have a track record of club
leadership through college and afterwards that can be compelling evidence of
your community engagement and leadership skills.
On the other end of the spectrum
perhaps you have spent time outside your home country for school or work and
that has shaped your teamwork, interpersonal and communication skills.
Whatever topic you choose, make sure
you are addressing why it is important to you. What you learned and how you
have used what you learned since in your life can offer invaluable insight as
well.
