Oxford\u00a0lets your resume, recommendations, application form, and transcript(s) speak for themselves. The one required MBA essay question indicates that the adcom wants a glimpse of you beyond these core elements. It seems like a simple question \u2013 but there is a little twist in it that amplifies its importance in the application and its connection between you and the admissions readers. Also realize that the adcom learns about you from this essay not just through the details of the topic you present but also through your\u00a0decision to use<\/em>\u00a0that topic. That decision reflects your values, your understanding of fit with\u00a0Oxford<\/a>, and your overall perspective.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Oxford MBA 2021-22 MBA application essay<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tell us something that is not covered in your application which you would like the Admissions Committee to know about you.\u00a0(Maximum 250 words)<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While the \u201csomething\u201d will be the topic of the essay, the real heart of this essay question lies in the phrase \u201cwhich you would like the Admissions Committee to know.\u201d It almost posits a dialogue between you and the adcom; it sets up a relationship, a dialogue. It\u2019s personal; they\u2019re talking to YOU. Reading the spirit as well as the literal meaning of these words, you can infer that the adcom is looking for a story or a message that gets to the essence of\u00a0who you are<\/a>\u00a0in some way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Therefore, don\u2019t try to find the most dramatic or exotic topic possible; this essay doesn\u2019t have to shout. Rather, it should incisively reveal a fresh dimension of you \u2013 one that is relevant to the application and that will add to the Oxford Sa\u00efd community.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

That leaves a lot of room for topic choice. I suggest committing to one topic and discussing it in as much depth as is possible in 250 words. Make this single essay vivid and memorable by basing it on your actual experience, which gives the adcom not just information about you but also your unique perspective on an aspect of your life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As for topic, be strategic in selecting one that is relevant, will engage the Oxford adcom, and\u00a0enhances your fit<\/a>\u00a0for Oxford Sa\u00efd.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
