Hmm. maybe you'll find this helpful. http://blog.clearadmit.com/category/essay-topic-analysis/ Essay 2: Choose one of the following questions. (500 word maximum)
-If the admissions committee were to interview one of your closest colleagues, what aspect of your personal development would this person say is especially important for the admissions committee to know?
-You have been asked to write an editorial about the most pressing issue facing humanity. Please identify the issue and justify why you have selected it.
Chicago offers two very divergent prompts here, the options being to discuss a specific area of growth in the professional realm or comment on a broad and urgent issue of nearly universal applicability. In determining which of these topics you want to cover, a fruitful approach might be to think about which focus would allow you to introduce information that would be most beneficial to your candidacy. For instance, one applicant’s file might benefit significantly from a discussion of the process by which he or she overcame a shortcoming or developed a skill in the workplace, whereas it might be more important for another to round out the picture by discussing an issue that would allow him or her to introduce a key extracurricular involvement or a new angle on his or her goals. http://blog.accepted.com/acceptedcom_blog/2006/7/7/chicago-2007-mba-application-and-essay-questions.html Thes are very different questions from last year and from many MBA application questions. Chicago seems to be returning to its creative essay roots. For years, it was unique in asking one straight-forward goals question and then two short, highly creative questions. If you choose to answer #1, make sure you also include an example of the quality your "friend" chooses to discuss. Make sure you don't choose too broad a quality, like "leadership" or "analytical skills." Your friend could choose "a good listener," and then use an example to show how your listening ability contributed to your leadership skills (as well as the ability to be a good friend.) For #2, if you have a cause you feel passionate about (and have acted on behalf of) , then this could be a good essay topic for you. However, don't be like the client whom I once interviewed. I asked him if he had an community service interests. He said, "Yes. Child abuse. Child abuse makes me really angry!" "OK," I responded, "Are you involved in any child advocacy groups." "No," he said, "I just listend to a talk show on the way over here and the host was talking to a child abuse victim. And it made me really angry." If you feel passionately about something, and don't want to sound utterly hollow and silly, you will act on that passion.
