Essay Questions:

1. Through the last decade, we have seen the impact business people have on our society. At the end of your career, what do you think people will say you did for society? Give an example of something you have already done that supports this characterization. (Accepted file types: doc, docx, pdf)

2. Keeping in mind the ever-changing landscape of the business realm, what is your strategy to ensure your personal success in this environment? Where do you see yourself in 5, 10, and 15 years from the completion of the UT Dallas Full-Time (Cohort) MBA Program? How will the Cohort Program be instrumental in achieving your goals? (Accepted file types: doc, docx, pdf)


P.S: Could someone confirm if there is a word limit to the essays?

I am a current Full-Time MBA student and Student ambassador at UTD-JSOM. There is no explicit mention of the word limits to the essays. However, considering the nature of the essay questions, when you answer those crisply and briefly, it may not exceed 500-600 words. It is advisable not to beat around the bush and write very long responses.

Thank you rgowtham for the information. I do have some more questions.
Would DM you.

Also. I don't know how it works but if you're up for it and if Nikhil can arrange it, we can have a GMAT Connect for UTD - SJOM. What say?

Did you end up applying and how is it going?

Hi Nikhil. As a matter of fact, I submitted my application today.
Just my recommendation is left. That will be done in this week.

I was hoping to see more people applying to Jindal.

Let me know if I can assist in any way.

Cheers!

I don't think there would be any changes in the deadlines.
Still try and ask the Adcoms.

Hello friends,

I got my two rounds of interview done with Naveen Jindal. One with the Adcom and one with an Alum.

Waiting for my results and they said that it will be given before feb20.

Any updates on Round 2 from others ?

Great. Could you share your timelines for the interview? When did those happen?

I applied in R2 and I am thinking I won't be hearing back. :(

Hello KaramveerBakshi,

I got my first round of interview with Adcom on Jan 22nd and adcom said that an Alum will shortly contact for another interaction. Alum interview got over today (02nd Feb). I have read in past that not all interviews will lead to a second interview with Alum so please dont lose hope. we still have 18 days to go :) .
