Chicago Review: Rs.13200 : US$ 330 Chicago Review+Edit: Rs.24750 : US$ 615 Chicago Writing Support: Rs.33000 : US$ 825 Chicago Booth MBA Essay 1 Tips As in earlier years the Chicago Booth admissions committee opens with a multi-part goals essays to kick off the essay package and is extremely interested in EACH section of this flagship application essay. 2009-2010: How did you choose your most recent job/internship and how did this experience influence your future goals? What about the Chicago Booth MBA makes you feel it is the next best step in your career at this time? 2007-2008 and 2008-2009: Why are you pursuing an MBA at this point in your career? Describe your personal and professional goals and the role an MBA from the University of Chicago GSB plays in your plans to reach these goals. 2006-2007: Explain the path that has led you to pursue an MBA as the next step in your professional and personal development. Describe your short and long term post-MBA career goals. What or who influenced your choice of schools, and how specifically will Chicago GSB help you succeed? 2005-2006: Explain the path that has led you to pursue an MBA as the next step in your professional/ personal development. What steps did you take and how did you reach your decision? What or who influenced your choice of schools? What criteria will you use to decide where you will attend? What is it specifically about Chicago GSB that is going to help you succeed? Describe your short and long term post-MBA career goals. What steps will you be taking in order to achieve your goals? YOUR objective remains as clear as ever - describe, specifically and at length, your career goals, the reasons that connect Chicago Booth with your past, present and future, and why a full-time MBA is the logical next step for your future success. a. To compelling illustrate that a full-time MBA is the best (perhaps only?) option for you at this stage of your career you might need to go both backwards and forwards into your career and show how an MBA would strengthen and enhance your career prospects. Desist from generalizations of why an MBA is god's gift (its a given!); instead focus on your career progression and why the 2010-2011 Chicago Booth intake is the perfect time for pursuing your MBA. If you are an older candidate please present cogent, persuasive reasons for why a part-time MBA will be inadequate. b. Be realistic, visionary and focused while detailing your Post-Chicago Booth long term and short term career goals. Exhibit passion for the industry and the functional role of your choice and demonstrate (perhaps with short, relevant examples) that you have the vision, skill-set and determination to make it happen. Ensure that this section (like all the rest) is perfectly complementary to a. and c. responses. c. "Why Chicago Booth?" is the question and it has to be dealt with application, research and intelligence. Personalize your answer as much as possible, and link your career goals with Chicago Booth as closely as possible. Please try to go beyond cutting/pasting info gleaned from the Chicago Booth website and endeavor to make unique connections between you (skills, interests, goals, knowledge etc.) and Chicago Booth (pedagogy, centers of excellence, faculty, location, alumni etc.). d (reapplicants). While the question only asks you to describe changes in your "thinking" your aim here should be to go well beyond that and present the professional, academic and personal improvements in you that make you a stronger candidate for a Chicago Booth admit than in your last application. You have to succinctly answer "what has changed since Chicago dinged me last time?". State compelling reasons why you deserve a second chance. What steps have you taken to strengthen your Chicago Booth application. Stronger work experience, professional achievements, better GMAT, international exposure or academic accomplishments can all find place in the Chicago reapplicant essay. Proactive Chicago-specific steps taken by you, perhaps based on direct or indirect feedback from Chicago Booth, might prove the trump card. In case you have new perspectives about your career goals or new "fit-points" with Chicago that did not appear in your earlier application this is the place to mention it. With 900 words at your disposal endeavor to push yourself to look beyond a straightforward career narration; feel free to explore and reveal your personality to the Chicago Booth admissions committee in a manner that incites admiration and credibility. Go for it! Chicago Review: Rs.13200 : US$ 330 Chicago Review+Edit: Rs.24750 : US$ 615 Chicago Writing Support: Rs.33000 : US$ 825 Chicago Booth MBA Essay 2 Chicago Booth is a place that challenges its students to stretch and take risks that they might not take elsewhere. Tell us about a time when you took a risk and what you learned from that experience (maximum of 750 words) Chicago Booth MBA Essay 2 Tips Note: Please bear in mind that just because Chicago Booth has asked this question you do not have to suddenly transform into a mad, risk taker. Be honest and credible and intelligent in your response. This is the only Chicago essay you have (discounting the Slide presentation) where an exclusively personal portrait of you possible. So, paint a portrait that not only addresses the "risk" aspect of the question, but underlines your key traits and qualities. You have the freedom to select a professional or personal instance. Ensure that while the essay demonstrates your risk appetite, it also exemplifies the characteristics that you feel make you a good person/professional/candidate. Show how and why you made your choices, what leadership actions you took that made the risk taking worthwhile, how you evaluated risks and rewards and what your attitude was towards uncertain situations. Depending on the specific example, allot space for "what you learned from the experience"; if the story is strong and has showcased well perhaps the learning section could be short. Nevertheless, despite the length, illustrating how the experience changed you for the better, grew you and taught you lessons that you hold dear to you today, would be of great help. Go for it! Chicago Booth MBA Essay 3 [Slide Presentation] At Chicago Booth, we teach you HOW to think rather than what to think. With this in mind, we have provided you with “blank pages” in our application. Knowing that there is not a right or even a preferred answer allows you to demonstrate to the committee your ability to navigate ambiguity and provide information that you believe will support your candidacy for Chicago Booth. Chicago Booth MBA Essay 3 [Slide Presentation] Tips Though differently presented, this is similar to the famed Chicago Booth perennial knot-twister that offers you a blank canvas and probably has you sputtering and wincing. Actually that is the usual first reaction because this is probably the only mandatory visual presentation demanded by a leading business school application. There are two approaches to this dilemma. In the first, you have to assume that your bewilderment will be shared by the other applicants. So simply sulk and do your worst. After all you have company! The second option involves far more effort. You will have to take a leap of thought and try to understand that this is a godsend [atheists can ignore that - I do!] opportunity. There are very few questions in any MBA essay package that MOST applicants will be completely befuddled by. Each such question presents you with the prospect of creating a well-defined advantage for yourself. This Chicago Booth PowerPoint/PDF presentation is undeniably one such opportunity, and if you can grab it, that might be the best thing you do this admission year. On to some "real" tips. First and foremost, take some time to forget all the "creative" elements of this question - do not bother thinking about whether there should be more pics or less text or this color or that background. The basics still remain the same. What else and what more (even of the same) would you like the Chicago Booth admissions committee to know about you that have not been covered in your other essays? Get the answers to that question and ONLY THEN think of all the razzle-dazzle options [since only static slides are accepted there really can't be much of that]. You can use the presentation to portray yourself from a different angle, to highlight different aspects of yourself or even to re-emphasize what makes you tick. Of course if you can show creativity, humor and insight through the presentation style you might score more - and have some fun too. Since the slides might be printed out for viewing, use clear text and bold pictures - and check the output in monochrome before finalizing the work. Go for it!
