ISB 2016 MBA Essay 1 Analysis:
Essay: If we were to admit just one more student, make a compelling argument as to why that student should be you by describing an (only one) achievement in your personal / professional life that you are most proud of. What did you do that sets you apart from others? What did you learn? (400 words max)
This question requires you to focus on that aspect of your application that makes you exceptional. Hence, pick the most unique situations and impacts. The main objective of this essay is to gauge what value-add will you bring to the ISB community that will enhance the value of both in-class and outside classroom experience for your classmates. Hence, before you start writing this essay it is important that you list down all professional and personal accomplishments.
Look at your resume and identify how you have differentiated yourself: What were some of the most challenging projects you have been part of? made significant business impacts? built teams of unprecedented success? a challenge you overcame, or an event in your life that highlights something unique about your background. Identify the top achievement that best demonstrates your achievements and impacts.
The focus here is not just on the achievement but also on "why the achievement is so meaningful to you". It is important to note here that achievements comprise not only awards and laurels but also significant contributions to teams or organizations by overcoming challenges. While a big accomplishment is exhilarating, it is important to highlight on how the situation helped you grow as a person. Keeping this aspect in mind, analyze each accomplishment on various parameters - impact, challenges, learning, et al and pick up the most significant achievement.
All the best!
