At Haas, we value innovation and creativity. Describe a time when you created positive change in a group or an organization. (250-word maximum)
I personally think that the aswer to this esaay should be focused on innovation and creativity, which I could not find examples in my working environment...
Could you please give some examples about this? Thanks a lot!
至于what are you most passionate about,我的理解是这个更多的是谈比较抽象的、感性的价值观念,你不用谈太多职业、事业相关的东西,当然最后你要把它和你的职业目标等等关联起来比较好。但是在这里你不用详细说why mba,这个问题至多是一个佐证而不是最关键的why mba问题
以下是引用charmy在2009/10/12 14:50:00的发言:
Hi,向dani19前辈以及申请Hass的各位同学请教一下Essay Questions的疑问:
Hass的short answer questions, supplementary questions和Essay Questions林林总总加起来十几道问题,真是让人招架不住啊。我是要申请MBA/MPH的 dual degree,前面short answer questions里面有问到 What are your most passionate about,那我回答了类似help people这样的答案,我觉得大概可以理解为 Why MBA的了。
可是后面又有Essay Questions问到What are your post-MBA short-term and long-term career goals? How do your professional experiences relate to these goals? How will an MBA from Berkeley help you achieve these specific career goals? 那么这里我要不要再次重申下我为什么要申请这个program的呢?因为我之前是没有任何health care的背景的,实在太特殊了,另外前面的short answer的答案是限制了250字,我觉得说的不够充分。或者这里仅仅按照这三个问题的顺序一一回答就可以了?
5.Please identify the course(s) you have taken or intend to take to demonstrate quantitative proficiency. Provide the course name and institution. Beyond courses, please discuss other ways in which you have demonstrated strong quantitative abilities.
short questions 4 有问到:what factors have influenced your decision to apply? 而Essay 2 又问How will an MBA from Berkeley help you achieve these specific career goals? 感觉两个问题问的都是Why Berkeley, 不是重复了吗? 不知道我的理解是否正确.
I think the short answer could be more "personal" factors: weather in California, bay area, or you any tight link with Berkeley, due to your family reason etc... The long "why Haas", you may want to focus more on how Haas help you attain goal. Just my 2 cents.
