Harvard HBS MBA 2009-2010 essay tips
Except
for the two new choice essays the essays questions in this year's HBS
application remain substantially the same. An essay package that offers
excellent scope to present a multi-faceted candidature to the Harvard
admissions committee.
Harvard Essay 1
What are your three most
substantial accomplishments and why do you view them as such? (600-word
limit)
Harvard Essay 1 Tips
Straightforward question
from Harvard.
So start off by forming a straightforward note that lists the 5-6 key achievements from your professional, personal or academic life.
Having done that, look at the Harvard MBA application essay package as a
whole and then revisit the list. Since you might later write essays
highlighting aspects of your leadership, undergraduate days, worldview or
career vision, ensuring that abilities/skills already highlighted aren't
repeated. The rider to that is that since this is Harvard
and since this is an MBA
application, there is an exception to that rule - leadership. A generous sprinkling of leadership instances across the entire package might be
acceptable and this first essay may be the place for at least one.
The final choice can now
be made based on the general importance of the achievements, the extent of
your contribution to it's success and what the stories tell about you.
Choose the qualities that the accomplishments highlight and decide if
those are the traits that you want the Harvard admissions committee to
remember about you.
Of course the second part
of the question "why do you view them as such" is truly where you must
start from: clarify your position on the "why" and you will
almost automatically
arrive at the answer to the first part.
Go for it!
Harvard Essay 2
What have you learned
from a mistake? (400-word limit)
Harvard Essay 2 Tips
This is a straight failure
essay.
Learning is however the
key aspect of the essay, not the failure as such. Think about why you are writing this
Harvard essay and find a situation that has created a difference in your thought process,
leadership style, behavior or value system. Once you get a substantial "learning" you can go
to the printers with the story.
This year the choice of
examples and incidents for the Harvard application essays will be
extremely difficult as you are presented with a rich collection of
choices. Your choice in Essay 2 depends on your preferred essay questions
in question 3.
Go for it!
Harvard Essay 3
Please respond to two of
the following (400-word limit each)
Harvard Essay 3.1
1.
What would you like the MBA Admissions Board to know about your
undergraduate academic experience?
Harvard Essay 3.1 Tips
As an academic experience preceding the Harvard MBA,
your undergraduate academic experience might be a good guide to what you
are capable of at HBS. This Harvard essay should speak of that formative phase in
your life that has now made you the irresistible applicant that you are
today!
College is for most applicants a truly memorable and "coming out"
experience so have fun with the essay. Talk about all that you found
interesting, influential and character-shaping during your undergraduate
days. And talk about what YOU
helped shape during those years. Examples of your initiatives, creativity
or leadership could top the list of what may put in; but remember that we
are just at the beginning of a long Harvard essay package and you really don't
have to oversell yourself before the audience has settled into their
seats. The little problem with the
question is that after a substantial work experience period (5+)
or following a post graduate academic experience you might find
it a little tough to backtrack and look into your undergraduate phase. OK so who said
everything was perfect?!
Harvard Essay 3.2
2.
Discuss how you have engaged with a community or organization.
Harvard Essay 3.2 Tips
Have you led or been an
important component of an organization or community activity? Do you have
significant volunteer activity in your resume? In dealing with a community
(in which you might have worked or lived or not) have you exhibited
praiseworthy skills and/or attitude that would make the HBS adcom
misty-eyed with admiration?
Communication,
relationship building, leadership, networking, inclusive world view - any
or all of these qualities you possess could be covered to best
advantage in this essay.
Harvard Essay 3.3
3. Tell
us about a time when you made a difficult decision.
Harvard Essay 3.3 Tips
Select a specific situation
wherein your decision was difficult - either because it was unpopular or
because you stood to lose materially or emotionally. The motivations and reasons that support your decision
will be the foundation of this essay.
Recount a
dilemma you faced in choosing between diverging options. Your
reasoning process, decision making skills, strength of purpose and moral
rectitude are some of the possible critical factors that can be
highlighted in this essay.
How you make your judgments about
events and people, the
methods you adopt to understand varied situations and how you balance the various
options to make your decision could
be your main areas of focus.
Though it is not
essential that this be a "success" story where ultimately everyone
lives ever after, it would be nice to know that your decision ultimately paid of for
everyone involved. A display of your strength of character, robust value
system and/or intellectual courage might be adequate to polish off the
essay.
Go for it!
Harvard Essay 3.4
4. Write
a cover letter to your application introducing yourself to the
Admissions Board.
Harvard Essay 3.4 Tips
Write a formal sales
document in cover letter format which highlights your main qualifications
to be part of Harvard Business School that explains why you
should be admitted to Harvard and mentions why you are interested
in HBS. And yes, this will also act as your "goals essay", unless you plan to use
essay 3.5 to that end.
Since this is an
all-purpose essay (oops.. cover letter) a holistic picture of your candidature needs
to be presented, including your career progression, your personal
achievements/interests, your expectations from Harvard and your "fit"
with HBS. How you contribute to the Harvard MBA class would be an
underlying overt or subliminal theme.
Harvard Essay 3.5
5. What is your career
vision and why is this choice meaningful to you?
Harvard Essay 3.5 Tips
A leading MBA essayist recently told me that she felt dizzy every time she
tried to imagine the number of applicants who want to graduate from a
leading Ivy League B School, join McKinsey (or another leading Management
Consultancy) and then found their own
company.
If you
imagine the career track in your Harvard essay to be similar to that, perhaps you should think
again. Not that there anything intrinsically wrong with the idea (or with
McKinsey or with entrepreneurship) but that is certainly not a
differentiating or different answer. Some lucid thinking and
creativity will go a long way in transforming this from a well-disguised
sleeping pill to the high point of your Harvard application.
Harvard gives you greater
scope than in a usual "what is your career goal" question. Define the goal
and explain your vision. Show how it makes sense for you and for HBS. Strategic thinking, passion
and intelligence: show these in the essay and you'll have my vote. |
