The LBS Masters in Finance<\/a> essay questions, together, convey the adcom\u2019s interest in two interrelated points: (1) how you envision and plan your future career and (2) your knowledge of and interest in the LBS Masters in Finance program. It\u2019s particularly important because it\u2019s a rare MiF program that targets more experienced finance professionals (most such programs target early-career applicants). Given this unique focus, it\u2019s important to deliver throughout the essays mature, informed insights and perspectives derived from your experience in your particular area of finance. And cite reasons for attending the program beyond the fact that it\u2019s there \u2013the adcom clearly is looking for engaged applicants who are well-informed about the program<\/a> and ready to participate in its academic and social life.<\/span><\/p>\n What are your career objectives and what steps are you taking to achieve them? What alternatives are you considering? What geographical region do you hope to work in? (maximum 500 words)<\/em><\/p>\n Well, this \u201cquestion 1\u201d is actually four questions! That said, all the sub-questions are focused on one thing: goals.<\/span><\/p>\n Your career objectives<\/em> are holistic: both what you want to DO, and what you want to ACHIEVE<\/a> (what impact you want to have through your career). The \u201cachieve\u201d part may be brief, but it animates and gives purpose to the whole essay (indeed, the whole application). The \u201cdo\u201d part should be specific, in terms of position(s), industry, possibly company(ies), and, in this section, geography as well. The alternatives are essentially your \u201cPlan B\u201d \u2013 if the alternatives are primarily for the shorter-term goals, note how\/why they\u2019re another viable path to your long-term goals. If the alternative is for a longer-term goal (it\u2019s not unusual for someone, reasonably, to consider starting a venture way down the road), make sure it\u2019s coherent with the other elements. Be thoughtful about this alternative section, but don\u2019t spend a lot of space on it.<\/span><\/p>\n Not least, identify the key steps you are taking toward your goals. Of course, attending LBS is one such step. I do suggest noting other steps too (at least one more), as it builds credibility for your seriousness in \u201cdoing what it takes\u201d to get where you want to go. In mentioning LBS and any other steps, briefly note why \u2013 how they will contribute to your achieving your goals.<\/span><\/p>\n What specific areas of London Business School life are you most excited about getting involved in and where do you believe you will add value to the School Community? (maximum 300 words)<\/em><\/p>\n This essay allows you to do two important things:<\/span><\/p>\n Really focus on the LBS community in this essay. In discussing the areas you\u2019d like to get involved in, select 2-3 and try to include something beyond work \u2013 perhaps there are sports or social clubs, or a volunteer initiative, that you\u2019d like to join. Of course, it\u2019s fine to mention professional clubs and organizations as well. How you\u2019ll add value can include these activities, but it can also be broader, to include what you\u2019ll bring to the table based on your experiences and unique perspective. But interesting facts alone don\u2019t show how you\u2019ll add value; you need to include your insight to make it <\/span>meaningful.<\/span><\/p>\n Get professional guidance with your LBS MiF application!
