 Essay Questions

Essay questions give you the opportunity to present yourself more fully to our MBA Admissions Committee and to provide insight into your experiences, goals, and thought processes. Required Essay Format
* Clearly label each essay at the top of the page with your name and the essay number (e.g., essay #1, #2, or #3) and/or essay title.
* Double space your essays, and use a font that is easy to read (e.g. Arial). We suggest a 10-point font.
* Number all essay pages at the bottom of the page.
* Stay within the limit of number of words per essay.

Characteristics Of A Good Essay

Be genuine. The content and wording should reflect who you are and allow the MBA Admissions Committee to gain insight into your personality and what motivates you.

Be the sole author of your essays. While we encourage you to seek feedback from family, friends, and business colleagues to ensure that your essays capture the essence of who you are, we strongly discourage you from letting their feedback influence the core thought processes that drive this creative exercise.

Provide examples. Making a general statement about who you are or citing your accomplishments is powerful only if you can provide the reader with underlying examples of actions that define your personality or activities that led you to success in a given project or work assignment.

Invest time in writing your essays. Since the MBA Admissions Committee places great emphasis on well-structured, well-written essays that allow them to get a true "feel" for you, essays play an important role in the overall evaluation of an application.

Essay #1: Shaping Your Vision
Every year Fisher College’s MBA program admits a select group of talented professionals with demonstrated potential to become successful business leaders in an increasingly competitive, global environment. Briefly summarize your professional accomplishments to date. If you have not held a full-time job or are still in college, let us know about your leadership accomplishments in a school, internship, or extracurricular context.
Also, why do you want to earn an MBA degree in general and a Fisher College MBA in particular? Include your post-MBA goals, both short-term and long-term, and outline your plan for achieving them.
Maximum words: 750

Essay #2: Focusing On Leadership
At the core of our mission is our dedication to developing leaders. Successful leaders have a number of shared characteristics, and we would like you to choose two out of the 10 attributes that best describe you, your leadership style, and/or your leadership successes to date:
* Creativity
* Communication Skills
* Curiosity
* Empathy
* Endurance
* Global Outlook
* Integrity
* Passion
* Self Awareness
* Vision
Please provide us with clear evidence of your accomplishments for the two chosen attributes. You have three options for doing so:
Option 1*: You may submit physical objects, images, photographs, or photocopies, along with brief descriptions of how these objects exemplify the leadership qualities you selected. For example, to illustrate endurance, you might share a copy of your marathon medal, along with a short paragraph describing this experience.
Option 2: You may choose to write an essay for each of the two characteristics you select, describing situations in which you exemplified these leadership traits. Maximum words per essay: 500
Option 3: You may combine options 1 and 2.
* You may send objects to MBA Admissions, 100 Gerlach Hall, 2108 Neil Ave., Columbus, OH 43210. Please note that Fisher College will not be responsible for returning physical objects to applicants.

Essay #3: Discovering You
As a Fisher College MBA student, you get the best of both worlds: the up-close and personal feel of a small program combined with the resources and opportunities offered by a major research university. As an individual participant, you will play a key role in shaping our culture. Consequently, we would like to learn more about who you are and the unique characteristics you will contribute to the Fisher College community.
Provide an honest description of yourself outside your professional context, stressing the personal characteristics you believe to be your strengths and weaknesses, along with the factors that have most influenced your development to date.

Please select at least two individuals to serve as your references. A third letter of reference is optional. At least one of those recommending you needs to be from a professional context.
