标题: Tuck School of Business Application Essays
1. Please respond fully but concisely to the following essay. Although there are no restrictions for the length of your response, most applicants use 1,000 words for fewer. There is no right or wrong answer.)
For the past 10 years, you have worked for the primary employer in an economically depressed city. Eighty percent of your company's revenue comes from one flagship product, but revenue has declined steadily for the past five years as new competitors entered the market. Last year, company revenue fell 15% to $20 million, while operating costs continued to escalate. An aggressive new competitor is expected to launch a lower cost, more advanced version of your company's flagship product. If true, this could severely erode your company's market share and push the company into bankruptcy.

Senior management assigned you to lead a team to investigate this new competitor and analyze the threat it poses. You stressed the vital importance of this project to your team, explaining that it could make the difference between the company's success and failure. As a result, your team worked tirelessly in pursuit of the information. Throughout the process, you were very impressed with the level of detail one of your top analysts was able to obtain on the competitor's product. With this in-depth information, you were able to develop a strategic recommendation that will have a good chance of successfully fending off the competitor's launch plan. The CEO is thrilled with the work and immediately offers you and the analyst a promotion. Walking back to your office the analyst comments, "It sure is lucky that my cousin works for the competition!"

Keeping in mind that the future of your company is potentially in peril, what would you do? What professional or personal experiences would you draw upon to guide your actions?

2. Why is an MBA a critical next step towards your short and long-term career goals? Why is Tuck the best MBA program for you? (250-750 words)

3. What is the most significant non-academic disappointment you have experienced? How did you handle the situation, and what have you learned from it? (250-750 words)

4. Tuck looks for students who will have a positive, measurable impact on the communities and businesses with which they are involved. Describe a time when you saw an opportunity and took the initiative to improve or change a situation. Discuss the challenges you faced and the results you achieved. (250-750 words)

(Optional) Please provide any additional insight or information that may be helpful in reviewing your application. Complete this section only if you feel your candidacy is not fully represented by this application.

This essay is very open-ended and there is no "right" response. This essay is a story about you, about your beliefs, about your passions. Write about something that is important to you -- not what you think is important to us -- and write it from your own perspective. It should be descriptive and told in a straightforward and sincere way.

ESSAY B: What are your short-term and long-term career aspirations? How will an MBA education further your development? Why does the academic experience offered at the GSB appeal to you?
The question has multiple parts -- please think about and answer each. Why do you want an MBA degree? Why specifically at the Stanford GSB? How will the Stanford MBA make a difference in your life and career? We don't expect a detailed, lifetime plan. But we do expect you to be specific about why you are applying.

Thanks a lot for Lewis!
Just found Yale's essay changed to just one(??) required essay, which requires 1000 words. The topic is one of 1, 2, 3a & 3b.

喝, 这要求也未免太....还是请您自己做好家庭作业吧: 找到你感兴趣的学校,下载他们的申请材料或者注册一个网申帐号.

另外大家注意一下发帖时间, 我没记错的话, LEWIS所列的文章,应该是2004年入学的申请, 最新的题目请查阅各个学校网站.
