Booth Powerpoint Essay Example

I've had a few people pm me about how I went about the powerpoint for Booth. I wanted to share mine with others after editing a bit for privacy as one example of a successful essay. Too late for this application season, but maybe will help others applying this Fall. I wouldn't recommend copying this format but rather to get ideas on the types of things to mention. I didn't abide by the rule of thumb to include less text than photos, and yes it is a bit corny, so don't laugh

I looked at my essay 1 (career goals, why mba, why chicago) and essay 2 (a challenge or risk, I wrote about taking a risky job offer) and then at a list of Booth's core values and made a list of what was missing. EC's, a good teamwork story, a leadership story, study abroad experience etc. and made sure this all got in there somehow. The other 2 essays were very direct and dry, so I wanted this one to show my personailty. I felt the email format allowed me to not only talk about my experiences in a much more personal way as if talking to a friend, but also demonstrate the way I interact with different people in my life.
