Required Essay #1: What makes you feel alive when you are doing it, and why? (300 words max)
这可是让Haas了解真实的你的绝佳机会!不要害怕展示你的激情和梦想。Haas的同学讲述了那么多让他们感到鲜活、兴奋、充满活力的经历,从攀登火山到创办非营利组织,从参加戏剧到组织露营。这些故事展现了他们Beyond Yourself的精神,勇于突破自我,追求卓越。因此,我建议你也分享一个让你感受到"活着"的瞬间。是在舞台上表演,体验光影交错的魔幻时刻?是在志愿者活动中与人交流,感受人与人之间的温暖?是在实验室里探索未知,遇见科学的惊喜?还是像一位同学在教孩子们编程时看到他们眼中绽放的光芒?

同时你可以选择一个与Haas的Defining Leadership Principles相呼应的经历。比如,你可以讲述一次你质疑现状(Question the Status Quo)、打破常规的经历,展示你如何勇于创新、接受挑战。或者,你可以分享一个你谦逊领导(Confidence Without Attitude)的故事,说明你如何在取得成就的同时保持谦逊、赋能他人。你可以谈到一次你在工作或校园项目中提出创新解决方案的经历,说明它如何让你感受到打破陈规、勇于尝试的兴奋感。你可以将这种精神与Haas著名的创新课程和项目联系起来,如Lean LaunchPad、Berkeley-Haas Entrepreneurship Program等,表达你对在Haas继续发扬这种精神的向往。

不管是什么,请真诚地分享那些点燃你内心火焰的时刻。也许你可以讲一个小故事,带领读者走进那个场景,感受你的心情。记得要解释为什么这件事如此重要——它如何塑造了你的性格、价值观或人生追求.

Required Essay #2: What are your short-term and long-term career goals, and how will an MBA from Haas help you achieve those goals? (300 words max)
在这里,我建议你先展望大胆的长期愿景,再回到切实的短期计划,说明Haas在其中扮演的关键角色。Haas位于创新的最前沿,拥有丰富的创业资源和人脉。如果你的目标是在科技、创业、金融或社会影响力领域大展拳脚,不妨强调Haas在这些方面的优势。具体来说,你可以研究一下Haas的创业课程和项目,如LAUNCH加速器、Lean LaunchPad、Startup Disco等。Haas还有众多以创新和技术为主题的学生组织,如Haas Technology Club、Entrepreneurship Club、Design and Innovation Strategy Club等。另外,Haas@Work课程可以让你直接为公司解决实际问题,积累经验。如果你想在硅谷实习或工作,Haas的地理优势和校友网络绝对是一大助力。

当然,对于不同的目标,Haas也提供个性化的资源。例如,如果你想在cleantech或能源行业发展,可以提到Cleantech to Market (C2M)这门获奖课程,让你有机会与能源、交通等领域的领军企业合作。如果你有兴趣探索商业在社会问题中的作用,你可以参加由McKinsey顾问指导的"Social Sector Solutions (S3)"课程。Haas还提供诸多应用型创新课程,如"International Business Development"、"Haas@Work"等。不管你的目标是什么,Haas总有独特的资源来支持你,帮助你在短期内取得进展,向长期愿景迈进。

Haas的一位同学说:"你来Haas不仅仅是为了一份工作,更是为了找到真正的激情所在。" 另一位同学提到,在Haas你可以探索不同的选择,即使转变方向也不用担心。所以放松心态,聊聊你的理想和抱负,以及Haas如何成为通向梦想的桥梁。

Required Essay #3
One of our goals at Berkeley Haas is to develop leaders who value diversity and to create an inclusive environment in which people from different ethnicities, genders, lived experiences, and national origins feel welcomed and supported.
Describe any experience or exposure you have in the area of diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and belonging whether through community organizations, personal, or in the workplace?

Haas致力于培养具有DEI意识的负责任的领导者。这不仅仅是口号,更体现在课程设置、学生组织、日常讨论中。在Haas,无论你的背景如何,你都会感到被欣赏和支持。,多元和包容已经深深根植于Haas的文化之中。那么,你在推动多元、公平、包容方面有哪些经验呢?也许你组织过庆祝多元文化的活动,邀请不同背景的人分享故事?或者你在团队合作中特别注重营造一个包容的环境,确保每个人的声音都被倾听?又或者你主动去了解和关注弱势群体的处境,为他们发声?

Haas开设了诸如"Difficult Conversations"、"Negotiations and Conflict Resolution"等独特课程,旨在培养学生应对多元环境中的领导力。学生发起的"Dialogues on Race"更是为探讨种族问题提供了安全的空间。Haas也有众多以多元和包容为宗旨的学生组织,如Gender Equity Initiative、AABA、Q@Haas等。在申请文章中,你不妨分享一个你为创造更加包容的环境所做的努力。也许你曾在团队中努力营造一种欣赏差异、鼓励每个人发声的氛围?或是在社区中组织活动,促进不同背景的人的交流?还是主动去了解和倾听弱势群体的声音?这些经历都能很好地展示你已经具备的DEI意识,以及你将为Haas的多元社区带来的视角和贡献。

你可以表达你希望在Haas继续学习和实践包容性领导力,利用这里的资源和平台为创造一个更加公平、多元的世界贡献自己的力量。正如一位同学所说,"Haas培养的是懂得欣赏不同观点、有勇气改变现状的领导者。"相信这也是你的目标。
