MBA Essay Questions
Fall 2013 Essay Questions
Required Essays
Please be introspective and authentic in your responses. Content is more important than style of delivery. We value the opportunity to learn about your life experiences, aspirations, and goals.
| 1. |
What is your proudest achievement outside the workplace, and how has it impacted you? (700-word limit)
|
| 2. |
What are your short-term and long-term career goals, and how will an MBA from UCLA Anderson specifically help you achieve these goals? (700-word limit) |
Optional Essay
The following essay is optional. No preference is given in the evaluation process to applicants who submit an optional essay. Please note that we only accept written essays.
| 1. |
Are there any extenuating circumstances in your profile about which the Admissions Committee should be aware? |
Reapplicants:
Reapplicants who applied for the class entering in fall 2011 or 2012 are required to complete the following essay:
Required Essay
| 1. |
Please describe your career progress since you last applied and ways in which you have enhanced your candidacy. Include updates on short-term and long-term career goals, as well as your continued interest in UCLA Anderson. (700-word limit)
|
Reapplicants should also note that all standardized test scores (GMAT, TOEFL, IELTS, et cetera) remain on file for several years, so they should not be resent; we do indeed have them. Transcripts should only be resent if additional coursework has been completed since the first application has been submitted.
MBA Recommendation Letters
You are required to provide two letters of recommendation from individuals who are well acquainted with your performance in a work setting, with one of the letters preferably from a direct supervisor. Please do not submit more than two letters. If you have been working less than two years, you may include an academic recommendation in place of one that is work related. The title or position of the recommender is not important; his or her ability to comment knowledgeably and specifically about you is vital. Letters from friends and co-workers are not appropriate.
If you are unable to ask your current supervisor for a letter of recommendation you may ask another work-related source, such as a client or a manager from another department who knows your skills. Perhaps you could ask a former boss who has left the company. The admissions committee is looking for a recommendation from someone who knows your work well, preferably in a supervisory capacity.
Please ask your recommenders to submit their evaluation on-line using the link that is sent to them via email at the time you submit your application.
