Merage UCI MBA Essays 2024-25
| Essay 1 | Applicants are required to provide a link to a 1 minute (60 second) video as part of their application. In your video, please introduce yourself to the admissions committee, telling us about your professional experience, including a brief overview of your short-term career goals and how an MBA from UCI’s Merage School will positively impact that direction. Most applicants use websites such as YouTube, Vimeo, Dropbox, or Google Drive to upload their video essays. On all these platforms, be sure to mark the video as “Unlisted” rather than “Private”. Unlisted means only people with the link will be able to see it. Just click “Get Shareable Link” in your privacy settings and paste into the FTMBA application. If your video is listed as private, we will not be able to view it and your application processing will be delayed. |
| Essay 2 | Our students enjoy a wide range of student-led organizations that provide opportunities for leadership development and personal fulfillment, as well as an outlet for contributing to society. Our student-led government, clubs, centers, and events are an integral part of the student experience and to the development of leaders. Based on your understanding of the UCI Merage culture, what are 3 ways you expect to contribute? (500 words or less) |
| Essay 3 (Optional) | At the Paul Merage School of Business, we are ambitious. We are intellectually hungry. We have a calling to deliver educational excellence valuing diversity, collaboration, inclusivity and respect. In an effort to better understand the context of your achievements, is there any other information about your background, family or experience that you would like to share with the Admissions Committee? (300 words or less) |

Wiered school. No update. No alumni/ ambassadors contacts on portal. Nothing on application portal. Only thing you can do is schedule an adcom 1:1!

I got the invite Jan 29 and had the interview already. I think they will keep sending out the invite before the decision date. Once you get the invite, there will be a student ambassador reaching out to you
