Hi everybody,
How are all of you approaching the essays. Especially the 2nd one. After a lot of brainstorming, I can maybe see how our interests and passions influence choices, which is difficult in itself. But are anyone actually mentioning anything about how leadership experiences influence choices...?
The actual question:
Chicago Booth immerses you in a choice-rich environment. How have your interests, leadership experiences, and other passions influenced the choices in your life? (250 words minimum)
would love to hear some thoughts
The wording of this question definitely threw me off a bit last year, particularly about leadership experiences. Here's how I interpreted that question and framed my answer -
Throughout the course of your life, you made decisions that shaped the life you have today. That includes decisions to attend a certain university, obtain a certain degree, pursue a certain major, participate in extracurriculars/hobbies and so called "leadership activities", and now has led you to pursue an MBA. I described what those key decisions and experiences in my life were, as well as my values and motivations that drove me to make those decisions. If you can incorporate some element of leadership experience into your response, I think that would help solidify the importance of those values to you as well. Hope this helps.
