4. What are you most passionate about and why? How will this passion positively impact Ross? (300 words maximum)
This question has two parts and you only have 300 words to answer them .So make sure you discuss not only your passion but also the purpose behind your passion (in approximately 150 words )and then go on to explain your contribution to Ross ( in approximately 150 words). Since you have already discussed a part of your personality and interests/passion when introducing yourself in Essay 1, be careful in choosing content for this essay. Make sure not to repeat those aspects of your personality here that you have already revealed in Essay # 1. Consider these two questions as opportunities to show your uniqueness that sets you apart from other Ross candidates in terms of your values and interests.
Also, when discussing your skills, interests, hobbies that fascinate you, make sure to substantiate them by providing real life examples. For example, simply stating that you are passionate about particular sports is not enough ; you should also reflect on ways you have evidenced that passion in your life e.g. by playing it on a regular basis, and by watching live matches. To answer the ‘why’ part of the question, you should talk about your passion in such a way that gives the reader an insight into the purpose of your pursuit.
Then describe how your passion will make a valuable contribution to Ross? For this, the first step is to do a thorough research of Ross MBA program and then connect your topic to its specific offerings. The key to answering this question is explaining how and when you will contribute. The more specific you are about your contribution, the better it is for you, for it demonstrates your thorough knowledge of Ross.
