Essay Question:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Yale School of Management has confirmed that the essay question for this upcoming admissions season remains unchanged from last year. According to Admissions Director Bruce DelMonico, the admissions committee decided to stick with this question because it, \u201c\u2026really gets to the core of what Yale SOM is about and embodies our founding mission of \u2018educating leaders for business and society.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at the essay question:<\/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 as an employee, a member, or an outside constituent. (500 words maximum)<\/strong><\/p>\n

They purpose of this question is to find out how the applicants are making an impact in their personal and professional lives. This essay prompt offers you a broad choice to choose your stories\/ examples from your professional life, personal life or community involvement. You may choose to discuss more than one experience where you had made a positive impact on an organization. I suggest that you pick 1-2 professional stories and 1 story from your personal life or your involvement in the community. For an effective story, you don\u2019t need to be in a leadership role to make an impact; Yale recognizes that people have an ability to create a lasting impact as a member of an organization as well.<\/p>\n

To brainstorm ideas for this essay, I would encourage you to look for examples when you stepped out of your comfort zone and took initiatives that significant change or resulted in the improvement of processes subsequently followed by an organization or a group. One time accomplishments when you successfully led a project that was far behind schedules or a project that resulted in huge financial gains but did not have any long term influences on your organization may not be the right examples for this question. In order to demonstrate you fit with school\u2019s mission, you need to discuss experiences where you were able to make \u201cdeep and lasting impact\u201d.<\/p>\n

For structure, I again recommend following the same 4 part structure:<\/p>\n

\u2022 The situation\/the challenge (what was the context about the organization?)
\n\u2022 The action (what initiatives you took?)
\n\u2022 The outcome\/result (what were the results of your efforts?)
\n\u2022 The significance ( what was the impact you made)<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at the following example where the candidate is discussing about the \u2018outcome\u2019 of his experience and the long standing \u2018impact\u2019 he made on his organization.
\nExample:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter working several unpaid overtime hours, we succeeded in getting the project got back on track with a better client relationship. Also, we recently received the Inov@r Accenture Brazil award, for the FY12\/13 most innovative project in the risk management practice. The experiences, though demanding, were unmatched because of the challenge of initiating change by me and influencing others. Also, they prepared me to adapt my leadership style to different contexts<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, you can conclude the essay with a concluding statement about how you hope to make an impact on the Yale community .<\/p>\n
