MBA Admissions: Essay Topic Analyses 2024-2025
The essay portion of the MBA application is one of the most crucial and time-consuming aspects of the MBA application process. These essays are designed to learn about an MBA candidate and to determine if the candidate is a good fit for the program. While “goals” essays are common across many top programs, other essays might seek to explore a candidate’s personality, accomplishments, weaknesses, or ethical code, to name just a few attributes that are interesting to business schools.
While we offer general MBA essay writing advice, through our Essay Tips, we also offer specific guidance for each set of essays for the leading MBA programs, as listed below.

Variety of volunteer work in and out of my work industry
I graduated with a degree in Computer Science and a minor in Psychology. At work I'm involved in many Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives. I regularly volunteer and speak to high school school students on STEAM careers(art included) and hold resume review workshops/interactive labs. I have also spoken at many summits continuing to empower others to adopt new technologies. I would love to get an MBA to continue my passion for mentoring/professional development and democratizing technology! I've always been interested in learning how marketing, finance and other departments interact and operate within an organization and I want to develop crucial skills that make me well rounded enough to be an impactful leader and entrepreneur post-MBA.
