Here is a Essay for Emory!

Which will be a better choice among A to E

Initially i was tempted to choose B as i lived/worked in various parts of the world but realised,that the cross culture stuff is already dealt in career goals/leadership essays.

whats ur take.....Go and tackle Essay B or add a new dimension to my essays by focusing on The greatest lesson I have ever learned.... or the person whose leadership etc ? or any of the other option

I would vote for:
D. The person who has had the greatest influence on my leadership style is... because...

Just because it's interesting to learn from great people and to adapt your increasing knowledge according to the new information that you put into your picture of the world.

Obviously, this depends on the individual. I chose to address the greatest lesson I ever learned for this essay. It allowed me to touch on some of the negatives in my past, and how I learned from them.

Pick which ever question fits your story the best.

Personally, i like B, the cross cultural experience.... especially since u have lived in diff places and might have some nice story for the adcom:) but again like others said, it really depends where do u have a best story..

I chose "D." All b-schools are big on leadership, but Emory is BIG!!! on leadership. They have GALA, LEAD Week, Leadership programs galore; all of which focus on the L-word. This question asks about something directly related to leadership, so I would go for that...that is if you have a good story to tell.

I think it depends on your stories. I aim for the best story instead of the most fitting essay. Yes a school may love a leadership essay but if your material is weak for that you are better choosing one that you can hit a home run on.

My advice, brainstorm and idea for each. Spend a night or two thinking about which one you can develop the best and then use that. I am partial to teamwork, leadership is easily worked into the why mba, career goals, work experience essays. Teamwork seems to be one of the hot buzz words in b-schools (much like my least favorite: holistic)...so if you have a great teamwork story that can be a really good choice. That also allows you to talk about what you learned from it and what you will bring to the table at the school.

Then again its 11:30, I have been up since 5:30 and got no sleep last night so the above may sound like babble.
