For those who applied to Haas, was anyone worried that the Haas-specific application did not contain their Personal Statement essay? Are they relying on the personal statement essay from the Consortium? How did you tailor your essay to Haas? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Good luck everyone!
I indirectly referenced the "Haas values" - confidence without attitude, question the status quo, think beyond themselves, and students always - in my three essays. Specifically, I talked about questioning the status quo in the "greatest accomplishment" essay; preparation and seeking knowledge in the "greatest failure"; and I used the song essay to talk about being grateful for the opportunities I've been given in life so far, and paying some of those opportunities forward.
I didn't use the phrases outright, but I tried to show those qualities through examples.
Hope that helps!
That's great, I'm definitely going to use some of that for my essay as well. What about your general Consortium personal statement? Did you try to cater that to Haas in terms of their reputation, classes, and study areas?
