Last Thursday night I attended the Management Leadership for Tomorrow MBA Preparation Information Session. My world was rocked and I knew I needed to be apart of this program. One quote from Sean Ferguson, Associate Dean of Admissions of Rice University, solidified on why an MBA is valuable. He said "You can out source specialty functions, but you can not out source leadership." If I want to be a leader I need to be in B-school and apart of MLT network. I left hopeful and very excited to run home and make my application to MLT strong. So, I am forging ahead and going to make the September 15, 2010 deadline of applying to this program. My largest obstacle now is the essays.
Here are the three questions I have to answer:
Question #1: What are your post-MBA short- and long-term career goals and how will an MBA help you achieve them? What research have you done to determine that the MBA is the next step for you? Be sure to address how MBA Prep fits in to your plan. (500 words max)
Question #2: Tell us about a time you experienced failure, either personally or professionally. What did you learn about yourself as a result? (400 words max)
Question #3: MBA Prep requires a significant commitment of time and energy. Successful participants engage in the process and understand the time commitment required. What will be your biggest challenge in meeting the requirements during the program? Is there anything that may affect your performance during the program (e.g. planning a wedding, work schedule, travel plans, time commitments to other activities)? Additionally, if there are extenuating circumstances you’d like to address, including gaps in work history or low GPA, please let us know. If you are reapplying to the program, you should use this as an opportunity to discuss your growth as a candidate since you last applied. (350 words max)
Pray for me as I embark on my dream. I am a MLT...because MLT was the roadmap to foster my success!
Keep the Faith!
Until next time,
