The\nessay questions remain unchanged from last year. The MBA applicants for the\n2021-22 application season are required to write only one essay of 500 words.\nThey also have an option to submit an optional essay of 500 words.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let's take a closer look at the\nessays:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Required Essay 1: What\nare your post-MBA goals and how will your prior experience and the London\nBusiness School program contribute towards these? (500 words)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nis a straightforward Goals Essay<\/a>\nquestion. You begin this essay with a statement about your post MBA career\nobjectives. Explain what you plan to do after your MBA. Make sure your career\nobjectives are both ambitious and realistic. Be as specific as you can about\nyour goals and specify the industry, your role, and the companies that interest\nyou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To\ndemonstrate how your professional experiences are aligned with these goals,\nprovide a brief career history focusing on your career progression and the\nskills and knowledge you acquired at each job position. Also, discuss your\nrationale behind each career move and explain how your career so far has\nprepared you for your goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then describe where you stand now, what skills you lack to fulfill your career aspirations, and how an MBA from LBS is aligned with your goals. This means that you must provide a logical connection between your previous experience, your current need for an MBA degree from the LBS, and your future career goals. For this, you will need to do a thorough research of the program to draw out a link between specific resources\/ offerings of the LBS and your career goals and interests. Write about what specific classes, professors, clubs, or other clubs and student organizations will contribute to your success. In addition, reach out to current students and alumni to learn more about the program and attend admission events to learn more about the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
