Tell us something that is not covered in your application which you would like the Admissions Committee to know about you. (Maximum 250 words)
Firstly an important thing. While it seems like Oxford application has just one essay, it is misleading. The Oxford MBA application has several short questions that are like essays and must be answered with deep thought and effort.
Some of the other essay questions are:
For your current job, please list your main responsibilities, your most significant challenges and greatest achievement.
Describe your immediate plan after graduating from the MBA
How does your preferred sector in your preferred location recruit MBA talent and what do they look for in a candidate? Describe the research you have done so far.
Reflecting on your answer above, how do you meet these requirements?
What do you plan to do between now and starting your MBA to prepare and maximize your chances of success?
Should you not be successful in securing your first choice of role, what is your alternative?
Which other programmes at which institutions have you applied for or are planning to apply for? Please specify your three main criteria for shortlisting programmes.
Now that you are aware that you'll be answering questions related to your current role, your career goals, your passion for Oxford, so what else you could talk about here?
You can start by thinking of an important element of your profile that is not covered in either your essays, CV, and LORs and speak about that.
It can be either an instance or an achievement or if you like it can be an impactful experience that shaped your thought process. You can also take a thematic approach to talk about your profile which helps the Oxford admissions team see deeper into your values, personality, and character.
