Speaking of Notre Dame's Essays:

1st Essay: Career goals

2nd Essay: Contribute back to program.

3rd essay : What do you do for fun

I am having trouble thinking of where to put a lot of stuff that i want the adcom to know.
None of the 3 essays gives me any space to write my carefully crafted stores about professional leadership achievements and result oriented team work. Such Topics are blatantly asked in seperate questions by schools such as CMU Tepper. Is there any place i can squeeze this stuff for Notre Dame.

I seem to have some overalapping content in essay 2 and 3.. I wanted to harp on my achievements in sports and how i might be able to start a sports-club etc in 2. However that would preclude sports in essay 3.. So really i am having trouble painting a full picture for the adcom folks at Notre dame given their 3 essay questions.

If it is Notre Dame you can do it either as...

while you are there on campus (what you would bring to the table)

or

what you will contribute back later after graduation...


I thought the wording was interesting as one could have thought they were asking for either. I called them to clearify and they said they want essays of both flavors. So you can't go wrong whether you do it the first or the second way... assuming you do it well either way of course. :)


Thanks everyone.

Yes this is the Notre Dame essay. For clarification, are they asking for both in the same essay? Contributing while in the program and contributing as an alumni?

I want to tackle both because as part of my current job, I've recruited and interviewed associates, held information sessions on project management, etc.. I think this showcases activity that alumni will be asked to do.. Thanks everyone!

Speaking of the notre dame essays...

The only guidance provided was limit your essays to 2 pages each. Is this single spaced? Double spaced?

The office is closed so I thought I would solicit advice here.. thanks!
