The MBA essay questions for the 2020-2021 admissions season remain unchanged from the previous cycle. Like last year, McCombs business school asks its applicants to write two required essays that seek to draw out applicants\u2019 individuality, motivations, and ability to collaborate, while also asking them what their career goals are and how they are seeking to achieve them at McCombs.  Essay 2 has been tweaked a little bit though the approach to that question will remain the same. The applicants will also have an option to write an optional essay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
