As a leader in global business, Wharton is committed to sustaining "a truly global presence through its engagement in the world." What goals are you committed to and why? How do you envision the Wharton MBA contributing to the attainment of those goals?
这道题如果用简单的语言表达,就是what‘s your goal? why this goal? Why Wharton MBA? (你的目标是什么?为什么有这样的目标?为什么申请沃顿商学院?) 。职业目标是商学院重点考虑的因素,你的职业目标既要结合实际(切合你的学术背景和职业背景),又要有一定前瞻性。在说明职业目标的时候也需要解释为什么有这样的职业目标,通过对职业目标的解读,录取委员会了解到你的个性、视野、领导潜力等。
Essay 2 (750-1000 words)
Tell us about a time when you had to adapt by accepting/understanding the perspective of people different from yourself.
If you feel there are extenuating circumstances of which the Committee should be aware, please explain them here (e.g., unexplained gaps in work experience, choice of recommenders, inconsistent or questionable academic performance, significant weaknesses in your application).
Here are the new essay questions for the upcoming application cycle:
What are your three most substantial accomplishments and why do you view them as such? (600-word limit) 你最大的三个成就是什么,以及为什么你认为这些成就最大?这道题体现的思路是从过去预知未来:如果你过去足够优秀,将来你继续优秀的概率会比较大,通过了解申请人过去的成就而去判断申请人的潜力。这些成就不一定要惊天动地,但最好能反映你在商业上的潜力,如超强的商业意识、灵活的商业头脑、超出同龄人的领导能力和沟通能力等。
What have you learned from a mistake? (400-word limit) 你从一件过失中学到了什么?这道题和沃顿商学院的题目一样,希望通过此了解你的学习能力、性格特质、伦理价值观等。
Please respond to two of the following (400-word limit each): 以下任选2道题
What would you like the MBA Admissions Board to know about your undergraduate academic experience? 你希望招生委员会了解你哪些本科学习经历?如果你大学经历很辉煌,或者你的大学成绩不太好,都可以通过这个题目做补充或解释。
Discuss how you have engaged with a community or organization. 讨论你怎样投入到社区或一个组织中?如果有这方面的经历,你可以展示自己的爱心和社会活动能力。中国学生这方面的经历比较少,建议大家不要编造类似经历。
Tell us about a time when you made a difficult decision. 描述一下当你做一个艰难决定的时刻。 这道题不容易回答好,因为你所选择的这个decision要很difficult to make,关键你要让录取委员会感同身受,认为确实是一个difficult decision,然后再描述你最后做决定的依据是什么?在商业活动中,有些决定不一定全对或全错,这时候你的判断能力/决断能力很重要。
Write a cover letter to your application introducing yourself to the Admissions Board. 写一封信向录取委员会介绍你自己。 因为是cover letter,一定要简洁。
What is your career vision and why is this choice meaningful to you? 你的职业梦想/愿景是什么?为什么这个选择对你有意义?你的职业目标一定要结合你的经历/背景来发挥,让录取委员会感到比较靠谱。当然,你的职业目标如果能让录取委员会眼前一亮,那就锦上添花了。作者: tianya 时间: 2010-6-2 15:10
