Dear club members,
I am planning to apply to following schools, but havent initiated the admission process yet. If you have also applied to any (or all) of the schools mentioned, could share the essay questions (NOT the essay :) ) with me?

University of Calgary - Haskayne School of Business
University of British Columbia - Sauder School of Business
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology - HKUST Business School
Chinese University of Hong Kong - Chinese University of Hong Kong
Nanyang Technological University - Nanyang Business School

Thanks in advance,
Vaibhav

Hi there Vaibhav, I've found the first one online Haskayne's mba website directly. Copied/pasted verbatim:

Please answer the following two questions as clearly and concisely as possible - only the first 250 words in each answer will be read.

1.How, considering your career progress to date, does an MBA fit in with your future career goals? Please describe.


2.When thinking of your own personal successes - were they a result of your own personal skills or your ability to work with others? Please describe.
If you are applying for the daytime program, and believe that you are a good candidate for a donor-sponsored scholarship where there is a specific "field of study" requirement, note that award in your response to question 1 and explain how your background/career objectives qualify you. Also if you desire a particular area of specialization within the MBA program, please note that in your response to question 1.

Include unique experience or abilities not indicated in your transcript, resume or letters of appraisal.

I'm sure you'll can find the other 4 yourself. Good luck!

WTF..u want other to look up essays for you ?
Be a man....go to individual school sites and find these out.

Wish you luck, mate!!
May you continue your attitude and go places.
God be with you.

And, while reading my message did you notice the "...If you have also applied to any (or all) of the schools mentioned..." part? I'd let you deduce the meaning here.

To the Moderators:
I remember reading that profanity was not tolerable in the forum. How do we define profanity?
Is it ok to abbreviate swear words and use the abbreviation?

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED..!!!

I agree with what you have to say but not the way you said it. Kindly be professional on this forum

vaibhavtripathi Also try to search for the schools on google and look up for the essay topics instead of just asking. Don't rely on spoon feeding. If you don't work towards your goals don't expect others to
