【2021年入学用エッセイ課題】：Stanford MSx Program

Stanford MSx Programのエッセイ課題が発表されました。
https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/programs/msx/admission/application-requirements/essays

Your essays help us understand what character traits have propelled you in your career and tell us how the MSx Program is integral to maximizing your impact in the world.

Requirements

We require you to write two essays that answer the following prompts:

  1. What matters most to you and why?
  2. Why Stanford and why now? Describe your aspirations and how your Stanford GSB experience will help you realize them.

The admission committee can better engage with your essays if you format them appropriately. We encourage you to:

  • Submit one document with both essays
  • Include the prompt with its respective essay
  • Write concisely (total word count must not exceed 1,200 words)

Career Aspirations Short Answer Question

Please tell us about what you aspire to do in your career. How will the Stanford MSx Program, combined with your experience, education or background, help you achieve your career goals?

Qualities of Exceptional Essays

Exceptional essays are authentic: Write about what you are compelled to tell us, not what you believe the admission committee wants to hear. In addition, they:

  • Indicate self-awareness and acknowledge areas for growth opportunities
  • Express an understanding of your effect on others
  • Demonstrate how you want to maximize your impact on the world
  • Showcase your unique worldview and goals by being personal, specific, and honest
  • Detail how you see the MSx Program helping you achieve your goals and how you will leverage your year at Stanford

Additional Information Essay (Optional)

The application provides an additional opportunity for you to share any other pertinent information not otherwise captured in your application. You might use this opportunity to:

  • Describe the circumstances affecting academic or work performance
  • Explain why you are not using a current supervisor as a reference
  • Address an academic suspension or expulsion

2021年度入学用からExecutive Assessmentスコアを受け付けます。
https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/programs/msx/admission/application-requirements/graduate-tests

Test Score Requirement

The MSx Program is now accepting the Executive Assessment (EA) exam as well as the GMAT and GRE.  The EA is administered by GMAC, so the test is similar to the GMAT exam, but it is shorter and does not have a writing component.  A current GMAT, GRE or EA test score is required for admission to the MSx Program, and we do not offer test waivers. We do not have a preferred standardized test nor do we require a minimum score.  The MBA Program does not accept the EA, so if you are submitting a joint application for the MBA and MSx Programs in Round 1 or Round 2, you will need to have a valid GMAT or GRE score.

Although similar proficiencies are evaluated, generally, the GMAT focuses more heavily on quantitative abilities, while the GRE has more emphasis on verbal skills assessment.

If you have previously taken either test and wish to use that score for your application, your score must be current as of your application round deadline. (GMAT, GRE and EA test scores are valid for five years.)

ブレインストーミング-Vol.3：エッセイの作成準備

前回、前々回の投稿から、各校の特有なエッセイ課題を紹介しております。
今回はStanford Graduate School of BusinessのMBA Program、そしてMSx Program (One-year program)の課題として出題されているEssay A “What Matters Most to You, and Why?”を取り上げてみたいと思います。

ESSAY A: WHAT MATTERS MOST TO YOU, AND WHY?
For this essay, we would like you to:
• Do some deep self-examination, so you can genuinely illustrate who you are and how you came to be the person you are.
• Share the insights, experiences, and lessons that shaped your perspectives, rather thanfocusing merely on what you’ve done or accomplished.
• Write from the heart, and illustrate how a person, situation, or event has influenced you.
• Focus on the “why” rather than the “what.”
https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/programs/mba/admission/application-process/essays

まずは、これまで築き上げてきた自らのライフ・キャリア（職業＋個人的経験を含む）を振り返る過程で諸々の「分岐点」に着目をしてはいかがでしょうか。

各分岐点に差し掛かった時に（自分は）何を考えていたのか？当時、なぜそうした選択肢を選んだのか？他にオプションは存在しなかっただろうか？その時にとった行動にはどういった意味があったのか？さらには、そうした分岐点で経験した（キャリア）イベントを思い返す中で、自分に影響を与えた人物や出来事なども併せて書き出してみましょう。

こうした振り返りの作業（キャリアの棚卸し作業）を行うことは、自らの行動や考え方の背景に存在する”WHY”への回答を用意することへとつながります。

そうして用意した回答内容の分析は、My own career における”Theme”を発見するために必要な作業ではないでしょうか。

【2018年入学用 Essay課題】　Stanford University MSx Program

Stanford MSxプログラムのエッセイ課題が発表となりました。
https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/programs/msx/admission/application-materials/essays

Our two essay questions are meant to be straightforward, not trick questions. We hope that thinking about and writing your essays will prompt self-reflection and that your essays will go beyond relating the “what” of your experiences, to the “so what” and the “why.”

  1. What matters most to you, and why?
  2. Why this program now? What are your personal and professional objectives, and how will the Stanford MSx Program help you achieve them?

We do not limit the length of your essays in the Stanford MSx Program application, as we want you to use as many words as you feel necessary to convey your message. Having said that, these are business school essays, and good business writing is succinct and to the point. If you are using the combined Stanford MSx and MBA programs application, your responses to the essays are limited to a total of 1,200 words.

Selecting an Application Round

You may apply in any one of the three application rounds each year.

If you plan to apply in round one or two, we strongly encourage you to apply in round one. Over the last few years, the number of applications we receive in round two has increased, making it more competitive.

Do not rush your application, but there are some advantages to applying in either the first or second round, including:

  • The ability to receive a need-based financial aid award from the Financial Aid Office prior to the date by which you must respond to your offer of admission.
  • Ample time to complete recommended quantitative and/or English language coursework prior to arrival on campus.
  • Access to the on-campus housing lottery and/or housing at Highland Hall and Schwab Residential Center.
  • Sufficient time to complete the visa application process (international students).
  • The opportunity to attend Admit Weekend (there is no Admit Weekend for Round 3).

If you want to use one application to apply for both the MBA and MSx Programs, you must apply in Round 1 or 2. You may apply in Round 3 to both programs, but you would need to complete two separate applications.
