Essays help us to get to know you as an individual and how you would fit with our culture and community. We also use them to assess your communication and/or presentation skills. This is your opportunity to give us more insight into your background, goals, and personality. Strong essays convey research, reflection, and your personal motivations for pursuing an MBA, specifically at the McCombs School of Business.
