NTU MBA Essay Tips 2022-2023


Essay 1

Elaborate on your post-MBA career plans (3-5 years) and why is now the right time to pursue an MBA? Further highlight why the Nanyang MBA is the right fit for you. (500 words)

Essay 1 Tips

To answer the first part of the question - you need to make a strong narrative about your vision after MBA and what impact you hope to make in the next 3-5years. Please note that NTU is not asking for your plans immediately after MBA - but after a few years - so by then you should be clear about your vision and be ready to make a positive impact in your organization or community.

To make a strong case for why now and why NTU - you need to find gaps in your understanding and abilities before you can successfully reach your career vision. Make a case that these gaps can be filled only with Nanyang MBA. Do research on the various aspect of NTU MBA program and show specifically and clearly how the resources and opportunities you will get at the business school will help you achieve your goals.



Essay 2

Reflect on your career to date and share one professional achievement that you are proud of and one challenge that you overcame. What did you learn from these situations? (500 words)

Essay 2 Tips

While assessing your career progression, give special attention to why you chose your career path and what made you move from one role to another. Simply repeating your job description from resume won't help. Use this space to give rationale behind your career choices. Ideally your past experiences will fit in a theme which will extend to your future career goals. Since you are writing about short-term goals, be very specific about the industry and function and geography you want to work in post-MBA.

The new expanded essay - also asks you to explain an achievement and a challenge you overcame. This part of the question can be addressed in two parts or you can have the same example highlighting an achievement as the challenge you overcame!

Through the essay, also give a hint of how your past experiences and accomplishments have prepared you for your future goals.



Essay 3

Team-work and peer-to-peer learning is an important aspect of the Nanyang MBA. Imagine you are working with your project team of 4 members on the SPAN project and one team member is not contributing to the project or not pulling their weight. How will you deal with such a situation? (500 words)

Reapplicant Essay

Since the time of your last application, how has your perspective regarding your future & Nanyang MBA changed? (300 word limit)

Reapplicant EssayTips

This is a very distinct and refreshing reapplicant essay.

Nanyang isn't asking you to innumerate how your profile has improved since last time, but rather how (if) your opinion and thoughts about your career goals and NTU MBA have changed.

This requires you to emphatically state why your career goals make even more sense for you - now that you have had more time to reflect and understand your strengths and desires. OR why you think you should pursue a different career path. In the latter case, be ready to justify with solid reasoning and passion.

Also, use this space to talk about any additional information you have gathered about the school and the MBA program which has convinced you even more strongly that Nanyang MBA is the right program for you.
