Hi Everyone! Compliments of the season.
For those that got admitted in R1, can you share how you navigated the last essay prompt on “Our lived experiences shape who we are and the aspirations we have... Please share what or who has had the biggest impact on your life”.
I stand to be corrected but i think this prompt is asking an applicant to say the reason for the mba goals. (Remember, the prompt on post MBa goals requires an answer in 40 words and so this lived experience prompt may be an avenue to know why an applicant wants to purse that goal) - this is just my opinion.
Or can we just write on any topic/share any stories that have really influenced us, even though it has no connection to why an MBA?
What do you think? Would appreciate a response for direction. Thanks!
