Hi guys, a silly question: for the essay(3 principles), it will be fine to chose one, two or even all of the principles, right? thanks!
Hello ! Btw congrats for your first post. I think you are referring to the following essay
FIRST-TIME APPLICANTS - ONE REQUIRED ESSAY:
-UCLA Anderson is distinguished by three defining principles: Share Success, Think Fearlessly, Drive Change. What principles have defined your life and pre-MBA career? How do you believe that UCLA Anderson's principles, and the environment they create, will help you attain your post-MBA career goals? (750 words maximum)
It is clearly mentioned that UCLA is distinguished by three defining principles. However, it is not explicitly mentioned that you need to mention 3 and only 3 principles that have defined your life and pre-MBA. It could be more or less. I would prefer more as it'll reveal more about you. Also, it is not necessary that your principles be exactly the same as mentioned by UCLA.
P.S : I chose 3 principles that I fundamentally felt were more dear to me rather than drawing parallels. It'd be good if some one can throw more light on this and clarify whether my understanding is correct. Thanks !
