Evaluation Criteria:The Admissions Committee considers a candidate’s potential for success both while in school and beyond. Three broad themes are used to evaluate an applicant:

         Curriculum  (Academic preparedness, Intellectual curiosity, Communication skills)

        Community  (Leadership, Team-building skills, Respect for others , Philanthropic       tendencies, Fit with Chicago Booth, A unique perspective)

        Career (A track record of success, Resourcefulness , A sense of personal direction ,Time-management skills ,Realistic expectations for the MBA)



Essay Questions for Winter 2016, Spring 2016, and Autumn 2016:
Essay One (250 words): We often have a short window of time to make an impression. Introduce yourself to your classmates. (250 words maximum) 2015-16
For this essay, you will need to focus on the qualities/interests/ experiences you want your class mates to know about you.  I would suggest that you achieve a balance between details of your professional and personal life in this essay. You only have 250 words to paint your personality to your class mates. You may approximately use 125 words to focus on your professional self (academic, career history, goals etc.) and 125 words to discuss your personality (i.e. your interests, background, and perspective of life). It is a test of your thinking and writing skills, a test of how concisely you can describe yourself. When discussing your personal interests, you may try to make your introduction interesting with anecdotes. The key to a rewarding introduction is to be yourself . In the end, don’t forget to demonstrate your excitement of working with your class mates at Booth.

Essay Two (500 words): Chicago Booth offers four ways to earn an MBA. Why is the Evening MBA the best fit for your short- and long-term career goals? Why are you the best fit for the program? (500 words maximum) 2015-16

This is a straightforward Goals Essay,‘why MBA’ and ‘why Booth’ question. You may begin your essay with a story/ event/ life experience that reflects passion for your chosen field (marketing, finance etc.) leading to your academic career. You may also directly start with an account of your academic history (Bachelors and Master’s degree) leading to your career history, explaining how you acquired new skills and progressed along your career path all these years. Specify skills gained at each job position and your rationale behind each career move, your greatest professional hits/accomplishments that earned you promotion ahead of your peers.

Then explain where you stand now, the   skills that   you still   lack and hope to acquire by an   MBA? How an MBA will fill the gaps in your career and bring you closer to the fulfillment of your goals? Explain why you believe that an MBA is the next logical step in your career path NOW?

Then discuss your short term and long term goals.  Be clear and quite decisive for short term goals (even if you are not 100% sure.) Show that you have put some thought into it. For long term goals, it’s ok to be more broad and idealistic. However, you need to make sure there is a logical connection between short term and long term goals. Explain how you foresee yourself progressing from short term to long term goals (A to B to C). Show sincerity and passion in talking about your dreams.

Once you have explained your career aspirations and your need for an MBA, explain how an evening MBA from Booth is your best bet at this time and   how it will help you achieve your goals. All schools expect you to not only have a clear sense of your goals but also of their connection to their offerings. A thorough knowledge of the school’s curriculum, faculty, and special programs will enable you to   explain how they are aligned to your goals. Again, do not forget to answer why you are interested in the evening program instead of full time program. The school wants to know the reason why you want to pursue higher education while continuing with your employment.

In the end, discuss what value you will bring to their program? In order to demonstrate your ‘fit’ with the program, you also need to explain in what ways you will contribute to the program

Example:  

“ After attending the information sessions, meeting with students and alumni, and going for the class-visits at Booth, I am convinced that the evening MBA program at Booth will be a great fit for me.The rigor and discipline designed in the Booth MBA program resonates well with my learning style, and the option to take additional courses after completing the program fits my vision of establishing a long term relationship with the school . I am convinced that Booth will be a perfect enabler to my transformation into a  leader.”

 A Goals Essay connects past, present and future i.e. your past work- experience (past), your goals,(future), and the need of an MBA from a particular school to achieve your goals (present).  The Schools want to see that you have a clear plan/ vision for future and you have the ability to convince them of the same by telling your story in an engaging manner.  

   Note: For sample ‘Goals Essay’, click here

Essay Three (500 words):  Developing leadership skills is an important component of an MBA program. What qualities do you value in a leader? How will an MBA from Booth help develop your leadership skills? (500 words maximum)

From Booth website : “A significant part of the Booth experience is helping each student define and strengthen their personal leadership style.” That is why they  require applicants to answer leadership question by slightly tweaking it every year. The goal of this essay is to better understand your perspective about leadership and how you will leverage your leadership skills through Booth MBA program.

. How to organize your essay Think about traits that, in your opinion, make good leaders, explain how you plan to achieve them, what leadership skills you already possess. Please illustrate your observations/ viewpoints with examples. Please note that blanket statements without examples will not help the Ad Com understand your views on leadership.( Approximately 250 words.

In the second part of the essay, discuss in what ways a Booth MBA can help you develop your leadership skills. You should have a thorough knowledge of Booth resources to be able to explain which particular resources/ offerings at Chicago Booth you plan to take advantage of to hone your leadership qualities. .( Approximately 250 words)

Example:

“Thus, I strongly believe that having leadership in thought and vision is not enough to make one a leader. The small personal  gestures enhance the perception of a true leader who can motivate others to work towards the ultimate goal.  I am excited to further enhance my leadership qualities through the courses and workshops offered through the Lead Exploration and Development  program offered by Booth.”

 Note: To get more ideas for this essay, please go through my blog post on Leadership Essay. You may also  refer to the sample .Leadership Essay

Re-applicant Essay:[b](500 words) Upon reflection, how has your thinking regarding your future, Chicago Booth, and/or obtaining your MBA changed since the time of your last application and what steps have you taken to strengthen your application since the last time you applied?         [/b]

Through this question, Booth wants its re-applicants to enlighten them on three areas: their future, Chicago Booth and earning their MBA. Let’s take them one by one. Your future is your goals, so in this one year you may likely have realized that your previous goal was not realistic, so you might have changed your short- and/or long-term goals from last year. Don’t worry about that, just be sure to show that your new goals are realistic, doable and match your skills. Next, you should explain   how and what you have learned about Chicago Booth since your previous application. The school only wants to know that your need of Booth is as strong as it was last time, so you should demonstrate your continued interest in Booth by mentioning any meetings you have had with alumni or professors, any campus visits you made,  any classes you attended, or any information session you have attended.Booth wants its applicants to tell them if their thinking about MBA has changed since their last application. You may answer this by focusing on the areas you have improved upon since you applied last. Whether you have taken extra classes, received a promotion, led a new and exciting project, increased your community involvement, or taken on a personal challenge, the key here is to demonstrate that you are now a better and stronger candidate. Your conscious efforts to strengthen your profile and to work on your weak areas will prove how determined you are about your MBA.

Lastly, and most importantly, you should use the  feedback you received from the school on your previous application and focus specifically on those areas e.g. clarity of goals, extra courses taken to make up for your low GMAT, improved essays with clarity of message.                            

   Example:

“My application for Booth evening MBA program was rejected last winter. According to the feedback I received, I needed to either retake the GMAT or take a course. Also, I was advised to improve my essays for clarity of message. .Based on the feedback, I have made conscious efforts to improve my application in the above mentioned areas…..………”

Optional Essay[b] (500 words ) If there is any important information relevant to your candidacy you were unable to address elsewhere in the application, please share that information here.   [/b]

  An optional essayprovides you with an excellent opportunity to tell the Ad Com what you could not tell because you were bound by the specifications of the essay questions. This question is also meant to shine a spotlight on an experience or side of your personality that has not been revealed in the other parts of your application: essays, recommendation letters and resume. This is an opportunity Ad Com is offering you to cite another reason to admit you.  While someone might want to talk about his/her experiences in community service, someone else might want to share something about his/her accomplishments in extracurricular activities e.g. sports, music, or painting etc. You can also choose examples from your work (if you have an outstanding professional accomplishment that you could not share in essays), community service, education, travels, or any other hobby/interest. You may also share a life -experience that has greatly influenced your personality and life. The idea is to bring to light that aspect of your personality that truly makes you unique. Then you should try to demonstrate how you can leverage this skill or quality to enhance your MBA experience or your future career.

You may also use this essay question to address a weakness in your profile, such as employment gap or low GPA or low GMAT. Your weakness may  bring out a positive aspect of your personality.Please refer to the following example of a candidate whose grades dropped because of his military service.          

Example:“Although my leadership experiences in the military taught me many valuable lessons in teamwork, perseverance, and management, through all my responsibilities, it impacted my grades.    Thus, I do not view my undergraduate performance as an accurate representation of my academic abilities. However, I hope the above reasons will assist you in understanding my particular situation.   I grew from this experience and took a dedicated approach to professional education.  I would respectfully ask the admission committee to consider this when reviewing my application.”

FROM myEssayReview Blog: Writing a Compelling Personal Statement
This article first appeared in the February , 2016  issue of    Valley India Times



Almost all top business schools and other graduate schools require applicants to write a Personal Statement or a Goals essay in which they discuss their goals  as they pertain to the target school’s particular program.  Personal statements, sometimes also called ‘Statements of Purpose,’ or a ‘Goals’ essay are essentially essays written in response to a question or a set of questions on a graduate or professional school application form which asks for a precise response.

A Personal Statement requires you to make a logical connection between your past, present, and future.  This means you need to tell a story that connects your past (past work-experience), present (your need of an MBA or any other graduate degree from your target school to achieve your goals), and your future (goals and objectives).  The Schools want to see that you have a clear plan/ vision for future, so you have to convince them of the same by telling your story that is not only effective and compelling, but also reveals your personal and professional attributes.

Though essay questions tend to vary year to year, the two things that nearly every prospective student can count on being asked are “What are your short-term and long-term post-MBA goals?” and “How will the Graduate School XX help you achieve these goals?”

Importance of Personal Statements:
The Personal Statement is the single most important part of your application that will tell the admissions committee (Ad Com) who you are, what has influenced your career path so far, your professional interests, and where you plan to go from here.  It is your chance to make yourself stand out from among a crowd of equally qualified candidates in front of the Ad Com and convince them of your fit with the program.

 Mistakes applicants make with the Personal statements:
Most applicants work hard for the standard tests- the GRE, GMAT etc.  They attend classes, take practice tests, and do whatever they can to aim for the highest possible score because they know that these test scores are crucial to their chances of gaining admission and even a scholarship.  The Personal Statement is put off till the last possible moment.  Some applicants approach me for essay assistance one week before the deadline which is obviously not enough to create an effective essay.  They don’t  understand that essay writing is a creative process for which they need to do immense self-reflection and go through different stages of the writing process– brainstorming, pre-writing, writing, revising, more revising and proofreading until they create a piece that they are proud of.  By planning ahead, they can give themselves enough time to submit a well-written, thoughtful, polished essay that will boost their chances for admission.  Also, this will give them time to do introspection and have a better understanding of who they are.

Here are some tips/ guidelines that you should keep in mind while crafting your personal statement.

 1.    Create Your Response as Per the Essay Prompt:
Understanding the essay prompt is the first step towards tailoring your story to the essay question.  Read the essay prompt carefully and try to gauge what the school wants to know through this question.  Without understanding the intent of the essay prompt, your story will fail to convey the intended message.  Whether the essay is 1,000 or 500 words long, the Ad Com typically looks for applicants who offer fully defined long- and short-term career goals, sound reasons for pursuing an MBA at this point in their careers, reasons for their interest in School XX, and specific plans to contribute to the campus community if they are admitted.  You should aim at answering the specific essay prompt of your target school, making sure that each part of the prompt is adequately addressed.

 2.  Organize Your Story Well
Your story should contain proper beginning, middle, and an end.  All the details of your story should flow well in a comprehensible and compelling manner.  You are the author of your story, so in order to make a lasting impact on the reader, you should make sure to explain each logical step of your story without leaving any loose ends.  Remember, you are not writing a suspense story that would force the reader to make speculations about the details. You are writing an admission essay and its purpose is to provide the Ad Com an understanding of your professional and personal experiences/ accomplishments to help them determine if you are a good fit for that particular school or not.  Your goal should be to present your story in a succinct and concise manner so it sticks in the mind of the Ad Com.

3.   Provide Specific Details about Work history and Goals:
The key to writing a successful personal statement is specificity.  In presenting future goals and explaining one’s motivation for seeking an MBA or any other Master’s degree, it is crucial to present well-defined and feasible objectives.  Unlike the undergraduate experience at many American colleges, MBA applicants need a fair amount of direction at the time they enter the program in order to take the right classes, join the appropriate clubs, and seek the best internship.  Everything is oriented towards preparing for the post-MBA job, so specifying a specific industry and function for the short-term is of the utmost importance.  Not every school asks for career history explicitly, but a Personal Statement or a Career Goals essay is more compelling when it includes a brief but coherent career history, summarizing the applicant’s work history.  This should reveal the continuity between one’s previous professional experiences and goals for the future.

In addition to identifying goals, the applicants should comment on what they hope to accomplish in their target positions.  One of the most common pitfalls of personal statement is the writers’ inability to use specific examples and share details filled with vague generalities.  By providing specific examples/ details about ‘what’, ‘why’, ‘where’, and ‘when’ of your experience, you can turn your stories into memorable essays.

 4.  Do Not Use Passive Voice (Be Personal)
When narrating your personal and professional stories, make sure to be personal.  Your experiences and accomplishments, irrespective of how impressive they are, will not make an impression on the reader if they are written in passive voice.  I often come across essays composed in flawless English, but they still fail to make the desired impact because of use of passive voice.  Please remember it is your ‘personal statement’, and by using passive voice, you will make your impressive stories impersonal and lifeless.

 5.  Research Specific School Resources:
In order to demonstrate your interest towards in target program, candidates should have thorough knowledge of the school’s specific resources and offerings.  Candidates who name specific classes that are relevant to their goals, recount their impressions of the campus culture based on a class visit, or share what they have learned from discussions with alumni and students will be in good shape.  The aim should be to convey the fact that you have done your homework and are making an informed decision in applying for the particular program.

 6.  Explain Your Contribution to the Program:
To demonstrate your fit with the program, it is also important to showcase what you will bring to the table.  In addition to showing that School XX is the best MBA program for your needs, you should demonstrate to School XX that you will enrich its community.  Strong candidates describe their insights on how they would contribute to their class and to other campus activities.

 7.  Proofread, Proofread, and Proofread:
So you have written, rewritten, and revised your personal statement  multiple times and have made sure that you have adequately addressed all parts of the essay question within the prescribed word limit effectively and persuasively.  Now the last step is to get your essay edited for sentence structure, punctuation, grammar, and spelling errors.  If neglected, these errors are a poor refection on your candidacy and can jeopardize your chances of admission despite your great GMAT score, good GPA, and impressive work experience.

The above mentioned general pointers should set applicants on the path toward crafting a great Personal Statement, the key to any compelling candidacy.  Happy writing J

FROM myEssayReview Blog: A Brazilian Candidate’s Journey to Kellogg – Interview with MER (myEssayReview)
  Poonam, founder and president  of myEssayReview ( MER), is publishing interviews of her most successful students.  This is the latest in the series. Here is a chat with Eduardo Silva, who has recently been accepted into UCLA, Yale, and Kellogg with substantial scholarships (Kellogg-70K Donald Jacobs scholarship, – Yale SOM:  20k scholarship, UCLA Anderson:  70k scholarship). Eduardo is soon
now heading to Kellogg to begin his MBA in Fall, 2016

Poonam: Can you tell us a little about yourself? Where are you from? Where and what did you study as an undergrad? What do you do now?

Eduardo: I´m a 28 year old male, born and raised in São Paulo (Brazil). I hold a Bachelor in Business Administration from University of São Paulo (USP) – class of 2010. During my time at USP, I joined a NGO for the education low income students, for which I´ve been contributing in multiple ways for more than ten years. After undergrad, I joined DuPont (based in São Paulo), for which I´ve worked for almost six years. At DuPont, I worked in roles related to new product development, marketing and product line management. I´m currently the Latin America Product Leader for the Tyvek® business.

Poonam:  When did you start thinking about MBA?

Eduardo: In 2010, during my first role at DuPont (as marketing analyst), I worked in projects with MBAs from Top business schools. Their skills and attitudes were a source of inspiration for me, which led me to consider attending business school. After attending a few admission events (2011-12), I was started by the schools and their accomplished and interesting alumni, and so I finally decided that I´d apply to business school at some point later in my career.

Poonam:  What are your career goals?

Eduardo: My post MBA goal is to step change my impact to innovation led growth in Brazil by securing a Product Marketing Manager’s role in an Industrial company, and move up to an executive management role in the next 4-6 years. In these roles, I want to drive innovation led growth in Brazil and in Latin America, so as to promote jobs and growth in my country and region.

To achieve this vision, I need to improve my competencies in leadership, innovation, global perspective, and business fundamentals. A MBA from Kellogg will help me to rapidly address these areas.

Poonam: I am aware that you started preparing for your application almost a year before the application deadlines. Could you please share your application strategy, planning and preparation with our readers?

Eduardo: Poonam, it took me almost 4 years to move from the initial stage (GMAT prep) to the final stage (interview prep and execution). Here is snapshot of my planning and preparation.

GMAT (2012-2013):  Late in 2011, I bought a GMAT book to see how hard the test could be, and I found that it was intellectually challenging and interesting!  ! For around one year and a half, I studied around three times a week in 1.5 hour sessions. I studied with guides (Manhattan Guides, Veritas) and Official Guides. My goal was to score at least 720. So I took a number of mock tests, and only decided to schedule and take the test when I was able to score on the range of 730-760 for five mock tests in a row. I ended up with 740 on the actual GMAT):

School Selection ( 2014) Prior to selecting schools, I tried to define my career goals as clearly as possible (and wrote them down). Then I attend a number of admission events in São Paulo, talked to alumni and researched a lot on schools. I chose six based on portfolio approach: four dream schools and two reach schools.

Application Planning (January 2015):  After school selection  (Kellogg, Stanford, Berkeley, MIT, UCLA, Yale), I created a very detailed timeline with all activities up to admittance and  reviewed the applications for schools I was applying to estimate how long it would take to prepare all materials, including essays, video essays, short answers, résumé, recommendation letters, and transcripts.

School Profiling (January 2015):  For the six schools I chose, I decided to compile my findings on each school in a power point. Please note that I enjoy crafting presentations! On each school, I listed their culture, location, program, faculty, and many other distinct characteristics. Having these clearly defined points of interest in the school helped me immensely during essay writing and interview preparation.

Application Preparation & Submission (Mar 2015 – Sept 2015): I drafted schools essays and worked with Poonam to improve them. I completed all essays and short answers for each school prior to moving to the next one (didn´t do so at first, but Poonam showed me that this was the best approach). I also worked with Poonam on improving my résumé and recommendation letters. For those who want more detail on my experience working with Poonam, you can find my review posted on gmat club.

Interview Preparation & Execution (Oct 2015- Nov 2015): In October, I received interview invitations from the six schools I applied! As a result, I prepared for the interviews by first looking at the common interview questions, and carefully responding them on a word document. Since many questions are school specific (such as “why Kellogg?”), I reviewed my research on each school and  did some mock interviews by video recording my own responses, and also with my girlfriend acting as interviewer.

Poonam: That’s really impressive. You are indeed a great planner and an executioner.   Looking back, what was the most challenging aspect of the school admissions process? How did you approach that challenge and overcome it? How would you advise other MBA applicants who are facing similar challenges?

Eduardo: The most challenging aspect was to understand the differences of each school, so as to select the ones I´d apply and to prepare my strategy to each of them. In Brazil, students select schools based on prestige and rankings. Given so, I was naturally inclined to use rankings to select schools. However, in all MBA events I attended, I noticed school representatives and alumni emphasizing fit and culture a lot, so I realized that I had to look beyond rankings.

To overcome this, I initially had to understand what the similarities among schools were, and only then I could start grasping distinguishing school characteristics. For example, the majority of US top 20 business schools share the following elements: general management emphasis (Wharton is not just for Finance and Kellogg is not just for Marketing), well accomplished students, strong alumni network, great facilities, strong career centers, global experience programs/courses, and a variety of clubs and competitions.

I´m not trying to make the argument that business schools are similar – they are not! Failing to see the differences is the surest step for failure! My point is simply that, for an international student not familiar with Top business schools like I was, it is hard to understand differences when one does not know similarities.

I´d encourage others to follow the same approach of understanding the common elements shared by top business schools, and only then deep diving on unique aspects.

Poonam: You applied to 6 schools and you were accepted into 4 of them. You received admit offers by Haas, UCLA, Kellogg, and Yale with substantial scholarships and waitlisted by Stanford. You finally chose Kellogg. How is Kellogg the best school for you?

Eduardo: I wanted a school that has a highly collaborative culture, while also having a large network and a variety of electives. Unfortunately, one needs to choose on the tradeoff of either a highly collaborative school with small student body or a large school with more electives and larger network but not collaborative or close knit. However, Kellogg has a fairly large student body, network and broad offering of electives, but surprisingly has managed to foster a distinguishably collaborative and teamwork culture!

In addition, I wanted the sense of community found in schools located in small cities, while I also desired the vibrant life and resources of a large city. This is another tradeoff that many schools present, but not Kellogg! I will enjoy the sense of community of Evanston, the suburb where the school is located and nearly all students live, while also being 35-min train ride away from Chicago, a fantastic city!

Poonam: Fantastic. Your success is an example for MBA hopefuls to top schools. Do you have any admissions tips for applicants who are aiming for top 15 MBA programs? (e.g. school selection, GMAT, essays, résumé, recommendation letters, interview etc.)

Eduardo: Plan ahead: this is the biggest advice I have, and the main reason for my success! The sooner you start, the better. For those who have a tight schedule ahead and struggling to tackle GMAT and application at the same time, I´d encourage to reconsider taking one more year to prepare. I´m sure that being admitted to your dream school will make you happier than rushing your application and ending up in a school with not as much fit or opportunities. Looking 20 years from now, this additional year of preparation will seem negligible compared to the lifetime opportunities that your top choice has provided you.

Poonam: To couldn’t agree more. Do you plan on returning to that industry after you receive your MBA? Do you plan on heading back to Brazil or relocating somewhere else?

Eduardo: I plan to go back to Brazil, since I want my degree at Kellogg to empower me to make meaningful impact in my country. That being said,, I might spend a year or two working in the US if I feel that there are opportunities to grow and learn, which can later amplifying my impact to innovation led growth in Brazil.

In terms of industry, I´m currently in the manufacturing industry, where I’ve worked mostly on new applications of existing materials. Post MBA, I´m looking for opportunities in the intersection of Manufacturing and Tech Industry (like autonomous car, and many others).

Poonam: What are your favorite non-school books?  What are you hobbies?

Eduardo: My favorite books are the Game of Thrones series (a song of Ice and Fire). Like many other fans, I´m anxiously waiting for the six book to be released!

My hobbies are playing soccer, tennis, video games, and board games. Also, I enjoy tasting new brands and types of beer! Long live the craft beer boom!

Poonam: Thank you, Eduardo for sharing your story with us. It was a pleasure chatting with you. I am sure your valuable insights will serve as road map to the prospective MBA candidates. Good luck on your Kellogg experience and your future career.

FROM myEssayReview Blog: A Brazilian Candidate’s Story – Accepted to 4 Top Schools- 3 with Substantial Scholarships
  Poonam, founder and president  of myEssayReview ( MER), is now  publishing interviews of her most successful students of Round 1 of 2015-16 application season.  This is the first in the series.

. Here is a chat with Eduardo Silva, who has recently been accepted into UCLA, Yale, and Kellogg with substantial scholarships (Kellogg-70K Donald Jacobs scholarship, – Yale SOM:  20k scholarship, UCLA Anderson:  70k scholarship). Eduardo is  now heading to Kellogg to begin his MBA in Fall, 2016.

Poonam: Can you tell us a little about yourself? Where are you from? Where and what did you study as an undergrad? What do you do now?

Eduardo: I´m a 28 year old male, born and raised in São Paulo (Brazil). I hold a Bachelor in Business Administration from the University of São Paulo (USP) – class of 2010. During my time at USP, I joined a NGO for the education low income students, for which I have been contributing in multiple ways for more than ten years. After undergrad, I joined DuPont (based in São Paulo), for which I have worked for almost six years. At DuPont, I worked in roles related to new product development, marketing and product line management. I´m currently the Latin America Product Leader for the Tyvek® business.

Poonam:  When did you start thinking about MBA?

Eduardo: In 2010, during my first role at DuPont (as marketing analyst), I worked in projects with MBAs from Top business schools. Their skills and attitudes were a source of inspiration for me, which led me to consider attending business school. After attending a few admission events (2011-12), I was started by the schools and their accomplished and interesting alumni,  so I finally decided that I´d apply to business school at some point later in my career.

Poonam:  What are your career goals?

Eduardo: My post MBA goal is to step change my impact to innovation led growth in Brazil by securing a Product Marketing Manager’s role in an Industrial company, and move up to an executive management role in the next 4-6 years. In these roles, I want to drive innovation led growth in Brazil and in Latin America, so as to promote jobs and growth in my country and region.

To achieve this vision, I need to improve my competencies in leadership, innovation, global perspective, and business fundamentals. A MBA from Kellogg will help me to rapidly address these areas.

Poonam: I am aware that you started preparing for your application more than a year before the application deadlines. Could you please share your application strategy, planning and preparation with our readers?

Eduardo: Poonam, it took me almost 4 years to move from the initial stage (GMAT prep) to the final stage (interview prep and execution). Here is snapshot of my planning and preparation.

GMAT (2012-2013):  Late in 2011, I bought a GMAT book to see how hard the test could be, and I found that it was intellectually challenging and interesting!  ! For around one year and a half, I studied around three times a week in 1.5 hour sessions. I studied with guides (Manhattan Guides, Veritas) and Official Guides. My goal was to score at least 720. So I took a number of mock tests, and only decided to schedule and take the test when I was able to score on the range of 730-760 for five mock tests in a row. I ended up with 740 on the actual GMAT.):

School Selection ( 2014): Prior to selecting schools, I tried to define my career goals as clearly as possible (and wrote them down). Then I attended a number of admission events in São Paulo, talked to alumni and researched a lot on schools. I chose six schools based on portfolio approach: four dream schools and two reach schools.

Application Planning (January 2015):  After school selection  (Kellogg, Stanford, Berkeley, MIT, UCLA, Yale), I created a very detailed timeline with all activities up to admittance and  reviewed the applications for schools I was applying to in order to estimate how long it would take to prepare all materials, including essays, video essays, short answers, résumé, recommendation letters, and transcripts.

School Profiling (January 2015):  For the six schools I chose, I decided to compile my findings on each school in a power point. Please note that I enjoy crafting presentations! On each school, I listed their culture, location, program, faculty, and many other distinct characteristics.
