一向以essay多和难著称的Haas如今真是改头换面越来越接地气了，贴心的 tips 也让人看到admissions在努力让这个过程更透明。Haas在中国的校友和活动不多，建议大家多通过线上的方式深入了解学校。两道essay题都提到了“meaningful”, 所以申请人的self-awareness非常关键。

Essay #1

第一题和去年是一样的，只不过字数放宽了（去年是250字），目的可以理解为[alwayshide]希望看到申请人的性格、价值观等personal traits，echo它的 “four principles” 就是写好的关键。Haas作为美国第一所公立大学商学院，是非常value based的一个学校，试图在一贯世俗和追名逐利的商学院中做一股清流，在加州本身的liberal和Berkeley free speech的传统之中找到自己的位置，因此，学校欣赏的申请人也应该是有独特想法和崇高理想的。[/alwayshide]

Essay #2

去掉了去年那句“How have prior experiences motivated and prepared you to pursue these goals”，Haas希望申请人追求的是[alwayshide]meaningful career，这不仅和你的能力、过去的经历有关，更和你的兴趣、性格、价值观有关。只有发自内心地热爱一个职业而不是一份工作，你才能每天能量满满，乐此不疲地打怪升级。每个人对meaningful career的定义不一样，也许是让你有autonony，有positiveness，有sense of purpose，或者有很多挑战让你grow，让你对周边的人产生impact等等。招生主任Morgan本人就是Haas MBA，做过投行和Tech，意识到自己在意的并不是a prestigious title or salary，才回到母校做admissions.[/alwayshide]

Optional Information #1

这篇有别于一般的optional essay，闪烁着公立大学for public good的精神之光。[alwayshide]如果你没有privileged的出身，取得成就有更多的限制，提供这些context可以帮助学校更客观地评估你的candidacy。[/alwayshide]
