【Essay Questions for Fall 2014】: NYU (Stern)

 New York University, Stern Schoolにおいても、エッセイ課題が発表されています。
特にEssay-2では、自らが辿ってきたキャリアパスを考察する視点、教育理念と自らの行動との接点、更には(自らの)意思決定の方法、パターンを伝えることで出願者としての「自分像」アドミッション側と共有していきたいですね。

先にご案内したMITのエッセイ課題にもMission  Statementが登場しています。世の中へ輩出した人材像を把握する上でも、このStatementの働きは重要な役割を担いますので、MITやこのNYUに限らず、他校へ出願する際にも(Essay課題で問われている/いない関係なく)目を通し、カリキュラム内容との整合性を確認しておくようにしましょう。

Essay 1】: Professional Aspirations (750 word maximum)
Why pursue an MBA (or dual degree) at this point in your life? What actions have you taken to determine that Stern is the best fit for your MBA experience? What do you see yourself doing professionally upon graduation?

【Essay 2】: Choose Option A or Option B

◆Option A: Your Two Paths (500 word maximum)
The mission of the Stern School of Business is to develop people and ideas that transform the challenges of the 21st century into opportunities to create value for business and society.

Describe two different and distinct paths you could see your career taking long term. How do you see your two paths unfolding? How do your paths tie to the mission of NYU Stern?
What factors will most determine which path you will take?
