Question 1<\/span><\/p>\n Why are you seeking an MBA from Chicago Booth and what do you hope to experience and contribute while in the program? (maximum two pages, single spaced, 12pt. Times New Roman) <\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s break this question into three parts.\u00a0 Part 1: why you\u2019re seeking the MBA from Chicago Booth.\u00a0 This section should address the specific education you hope to acquire, presumably dictated to large extent by your goals.\u00a0 It can also address other benefits you desire, such as the chance to interact with peers from diverse industries and sectors.\u00a0 In answering this part of the question, be specific about Booth\u2019s offerings and add some insight or reflection, don\u2019t just reiterate points from the website.\u00a0 If you can cite conversations with students or alumni, that\u2019s fantastic; give examples of insights you\u2019ve gained from them. <\/span><\/p>\n Part 2: what you hope to experience.\u00a0 This part can be seen in two ways, what you want to experience externally, e.g., intellectual rigor or collaborative environment; and internally, e.g., a broadening of perspective. <\/span><\/p>\n Part 3: what you hope to contribute.\u00a0 This is your chance to showcase aspects of your career and your personal experience that distinguish and differentiate you.\u00a0 You can discuss work points exclusively or work and non-work. Select a few things that complement each other and provide some depth and detail about each, rather than a \u201claundry list\u201d of points.\u00a0 Also, think strategically on this last part.\u00a0 Think about what Chicago Booth values and what the rest of your application doesn\u2019t reveal.<\/span><\/p>\n You may also be interested in \"The Art of a Gripping MBA Goals Essay<\/a>, an on-demand webinar.\" Question 2<\/span><\/p>\n Chicago Booth Career Services delivers innovative educational programming, offers one-on-one coaching, provides numerous networking opportunities, and provides access to job search tools in order to support your own career management. We would like to learn more about your career strategy and objectives. Please outline your career objectives, how you hope to achieve them, and what you hope to gain from the MBA to help you achieve them. (maximum 1 page, single spaced, 12 pt. Times New Roman)<\/p>\n By starting off this question with a listing of its career resources, the Chicago adcom is showing that the program is invested in your career success.\u00a0 You should demonstrate your worthiness of this investment by delivering a thoughtful and detailed portrayal of your career objectives.\u00a0 Discuss not just general aspirations but specifics: industry, likely positions, which company or companies, possibly where, what you expect to do<\/em>, possibly challenges you anticipate \u2013 and as the question says, how<\/em>.\u00a0 To make the essay transcend competent and become compelling, also show how your goals are rooted in your experience, what motivates your goals, and your vision for your goals.\u00a0 Finally, discuss the learning needs these goals engender that necessitate an MBA.<\/span><\/p>\n Optional essay<\/span><\/p>\n If there is anything else you would like the admissions committee to know about you, please share that information here. If your previous studies have not included quantitative courses (e.g., accounting, statistics, calculus, etc.) please use this question to provide information about your preparation for the quantitative coursework in the executive MBA program (e.g., GMAT, professional certifications, etc.) (maximum one page, single spaced, 12pt. Times New Roman)<\/p>\n This question invites you to present new material that you think will enhance your application, as well as to explain anything that needs explaining (e.g., gap in employment, choice of recommender if not using a direct supervisor, etc.).\u00a0 As far as non-necessary points, keep in mind that if you are making the adcom read more than is required, there should be a clear value to the information you\u2019re sharing. Also, because essay 1 asks you what you will contribute, make sure that any additional \u201cenhancement\u201d topics here aren\u2019t things that really belong there. Finally, keep it short \u2013 300-400 words should suffice in most cases.<\/span><\/p>\n First Deadline February 1, 2011; final deadline April 1, 2011 (Chicago and London) and April 15, 2011 (Singapore).\u00a0 Program begins June 20, 2011.<\/p>\n If you would like help with Chicago's executive MBA essays, please consider Accepted.com's Chicago Executive MBA Packages<\/a> or our other MBA admissions consulting<\/a> and MBA essay editing<\/a> services.<\/span><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n Chicago 2011 EMBA Application Essay Questions The Chicago Booth EMBA questions are challenging because they break up a concept that for many people is holistic: the need for the MBA…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,6,939],"tags":[41,60,39],"class_list":["post-5346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mba","category-current-events","category-accepted","tag-chicago","tag-emba","tag-mba-admissions","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5346"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5346\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5348,"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5346\/revisions\/5348"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
