2023–2024 Chicago Booth Essay Guidance

Guidance for Response: Trust your judgment on the length of your submission, though we advise you to consider carefully how to use the space effectively.

Essay 1: Discuss how an MBA from Booth will support your immediate and long-term career goals. (Minimum 250 words, no maximum)

This prompt asks for crucial, basic information to understand your motivations for an MBA and your career ambitions. Specify your envisioned post-graduation career and long-term aspirations, including industry, role, and other relevant details like preferred companies or specific responsibilities. Explain your career progression and what has inspired you to pursue an MBA as a critical tool for your future. Identify which Booth program resources will be most beneficial for your goals. To make a strong case, thoroughly research these resources and explain how they align with your needs.

For comprehensive advice on responding to such questions, consider downloading our free mbaMission Personal Statement Guide, which offers detailed guidance and examples.

Essay 2: Share insights into your personal growth experiences outside of professional life. (Minimum 250 words, no maximum)

Booth’s second essay shifts focus from professional to personal growth. Reflect on what your resume, extracurriculars, recommendations, and transcripts might not fully convey about you. This essay should add a new dimension to your application, highlighting aspects of your personality, values, hobbies, or pivotal experiences that define who you are. Think about which personal traits or experiences could enhance your fit with Booth’s culture. Authenticity is key; let your genuine self and style guide your writing.

To explore how your personal traits align with Booth, engage with resources like student blogs, forums, Booth’s YouTube channel, and download the mbaMission Insider’s Guide to the Booth School of Business.

Optional Question: Address any unclear aspects in your application. (Maximum 300 words)

Use this space to clarify any uncertainties in your application, such as discrepancies in test scores, grades, or employment history. This is not an opportunity to further promote your candidacy with unrelated strong essays or anecdotes but to address specific concerns an admissions officer might have.

Reapplicant Question: Reflect on how your views about your future, Chicago Booth, or pursuing an MBA have evolved since your last application. (Maximum 300 words)

This prompt examines whether your determination and perspective have matured since your previous application. Discuss personal and professional developments that reinforce your need for an MBA and how your goals might have evolved, ensuring they still connect logically to your overall aspirations. This reassessment should demonstrate thoughtful growth and an enhanced rationale for wanting an MBA.
