With its application due out soon in advance of an October 10 Round 1 deadline, Michigan’s Ross has indicated that its essay topics will remain the same for the 2009-2010 admissions season. Again, Ross offers two longer prompts (500 words) and two shorter questions (300 words) for its required essays. The topics are below:
1. Briefly describe your short-term and long-term career goals. Why is an MBA the best choice at this point in your career? What and/or who influenced your decision to apply to Ross? [500 words]
2. Describe your most significant professional accomplishment. Elaborate on the leadership skills you displayed, the actions you took and the impact you had on your organization. [500 words]
3. If you were not pursuing the career goals you described in Question 1, what profession would you pursue instead? (for example, teacher, musician, athlete, architect, etc.) How will this alternate interest contribute to your effectiveness in solving multi-disciplinary problems? [300 words]
4. Describe your experience during a challenging time in your life. Explain how you grew personally, either despite this challenge or because of it. [300 words]
Ross also offers an optional essay, which allows applicants the chance to include anything else they think might add to their candidacy. For all questions, Ross wants essays answered on separate pages, with the full prompt and applicant name at the top of each page. All essays should be at least 11-point font with at least 1.5 line spacing.
