Essay questions
[u]Essay #1: Shaping Your Vision
Every year Fisher College’s MBA program admits a select group of talented professionals with demonstrated potential to become successful business leaders in an increasingly competitive, global environment. Briefly summarize your professional accomplishments to date. If you have not held a full-time job or are still in college, let us know about your leadership accomplishments in a school, internship, or extracurricular context. Also, why do you want to earn an MBA degree in general and a Fisher College MBA in particular? Include your post-MBA goals, both short-term and long-term, and outline your plan for achieving them. (Maximum words: 750)

Essay #2: Focusing On Leadership
At the core of our mission is our dedication to developing leaders. Successful leaders have a number of shared characteristics, and we would like you to choose two out of the 10 attributes that best describe you, your leadership style, and/or your leadership successes to date:

* Creativity * Communication Skills * Curiosity* Empathy* Endurance * Global Outlook
* Integrity * Passion * Self Awareness * Vision

Please provide us with clear evidence of your accomplishments for the two chosen attributes. You have three options for doing so:

Option 1: You may submit physical objects, images, photographs, or photocopies, along with brief descriptions of how these objects exemplify the leadership qualities you selected. For example, to illustrate endurance, you might share a copy of your marathon medal, along with a short paragraph describing this experience.
Option 2: You may choose to write an essay for each of the two characteristics you select, describing situations in which you exemplified these leadership traits. Maximum words per essay: 500
Option 3: You may combine options 1 and 2.

Please note that Fisher College will not be responsible for returning physical objects to applicants.

Essay #3: Discovering You
As a Fisher College 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. As an individual participant, you will play a key role in shaping our culture. Consequently, we would like to learn more about who you are and the 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 believe to be your strengths and weaknesses, along with the factors that have most influenced your development to date. (Maximum words: 750)

great ! how did the interview go...and was it an alum or some other kind of interview ?

Well I had a Skype interview with a student ambassador.
Questions were based on:
1 Career goals.. Professional and non-professional
2 Leadership skills developed at fisher
3 Conflict management
4 Failure as a group
5 Self motivation
6 Ethical dilemma
7 Passionate towards a goal


It took around 40 minutes. Followed it with a question of my own.
I think it went ok... Just keeping my fingers crossed.
