如何理解OXFORD 的ESSAY

fly028

which recent development ,world event or book has most influenced your thinking and why ?

这个题目范围好大，请大家帮我看看！

我是搞通信的，我可以说3G的发展吗？

无论多大或者多小， ESSAY总是要围绕WHY MBA来写的。 几个题目应该结合为一个整体， 光看一个， 孤立着， 不怎么方便讨论题材。

why mba is essential for the whole application form , but i also think the admission officer want to see something else , such as the deepth of thought , your ambition and creativity . i have to choose a good topic in which many factors contributing my leadership and other ingredients could evaluate my quality can be perfectly organized .

very appreciate your good idea !

if the topics are not changed from last year, i suppose the first essay has been devoted to "why mba". therefore, i suggest incoporating as many your uniquenesses as possible, quite naturally, into this essay. i think any development, event, or book that can cater to your unique stories will be ok. i used this strategy last year and got admitted.

my two cents only and good luck

// - Quote from Clear Admit

In a way, this is a very personal essay. Given the high word limit and open topic of this essay, it's easy to become overwhelmed when thinking about how to tackle this question. The key is to remember that one of your main objectives in your essays is to communicate interesting and important information about your candidacy. Another thing to keep in mind that your answer should reinforce your positioning and further your application strategy; your selection of topic should either underscore some theme presented in the first essay, or aim to introduce another facet of your interests.

Once you've arrived at the broad theme for the essay (i.e. this development, event or book), a great starting point for this response could be to think about a few key experiences from work and your outside activities that you might incorporate into the narrative about the evolution of your thinking and perspective. This will help ground your narrative in specific stories and examples (one of the best way to make an impression on the reader), and make this 2000 word task seem a bit more manageable. Once this framework is in place, it should be a manageable task to build in the nuances of the way this event or book has shaped your thinking and explain the change that has taken place.
