\"Yale_SOM\"<\/a>Yale is down to one essay this year from two last year. 500 words max. What does this shrinkage imply? You need to make the most of that single essay, but you also need to take the time to make every box in the appication a home run. They are not after-thoughts<\/a>. Your job descriptions and activity history are increasing in importance. Write and edit them carefully. Focus on achievements. Quantify when possible and keep in mind Yale's commitment to \"educating leaders for business and society.\"

My tips are in blue. <\/span><\/p>\n

Essay Question<\/a>:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Yale School of Management educates individuals who will have deep and lasting impact on the organizations they lead. Describe how you have positively influenced an organization\u2014as an employee, a member, or an outside constituent. (500 words maximum)<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This essay would do really well with an anecdotal response telling the story of how you positively affected your department, team, club, company, client or any entity that benefited from your contribution. You can start with a moment of challenge or triumph. Then go back, provide context, and tell your story of contribution, hurdles overcome<\/a>, and complexity handled. If your impact has lasted, say so.<\/span><\/p>\n
