For those applying to Berkeley Haas this upcoming cycle, the school has made a few notable changes to its application essays for the 2025–2026 admissions cycle. Here’s a summary of what’s new and what remains the same:

1. Video Essay : “Feel Alive” Prompt

The previous written essay asking “What makes you feel alive and why?” has now been converted into a video essay format.

Format: 1 to 2 minutes, with two recording attempts

2. Career Goals Essay Remains Unchanged

Prompt: “What are your short-term and long-term career goals, and how will an MBA from Haas help you achieve those goals?”

Length: 300 words

3. New Supplemental Essay: “Distance Traveled”

This replaces last year’s DEI essay. The new prompt invites applicants to reflect on their personal journey and experiences that have shaped their perspective and goals.

Length: 300 words

4. Optional Essay

Applicants can also submit an optional 300-word essay to explain any aspects of their application that require clarification. This could include academic performance, employment gaps, or other unique circumstances.

Good luck for the 2025-2026 cycle!!!

Hey . I have a work experience of 3 yrs like I’m in the last yr of ug . I’m actually working full time. So is it possible i get in top b school with my 3 yrs full time and 2 yrs part time.

Thank you!
Thank you for sharing a bit about your background, it sounds like you have a fairly competitive profile. That said, it’s difficult to offer detailed guidance without a closer look at your work as a software developer over the past four years.

While pivoting to product management through an MBA is absolutely possible, there are specific strategies and prerequisites that can help make that transition more successful.

If you’d like, feel free to share your profile with us, and we’d be happy to Book a Free Consulting Call to explore your options in more depth. https://thinkbluebox.com/not-paid/faqs/ ... tion-form/

Hi All. How much are people writing for each of the extracurricular activities, considering you’ve got 500 words available for each? Out of curiosity, has Haas always been so generous with their word limits in this section? I’ve never seen anything close to this with any other schools.
