London Business Schoolのエッセイ課題が発表されました。

What are your post-MBA goals and how will your prior experience and the London Business School programme contribute towards these? (500 words)

LBSはロンドンという国際都市に位置し、同校の多様性豊かな多数の学生が学び合う教育環境を踏まえると、出願者は自らの積極性、独立独歩な姿勢、優れた対人力、個性を演出する上での独自的な考えといった側面を出願書類経由でアピールしていきたいところです。

特にエッセイコンテンツの質を高めるため、昨日【ブログにて)案内した学校説明会(8/4開催)への参加を通して、自らのキャリアオプション開発機会を確認されてはいかがでしょうか。今回の説明会では、卒業生によるパネルディスカッションも実施されます。そのため(各パネリストが)同校で得た知識、経験がLBS卒業後のキャリア発展へとどう生かされているかという点をも確認していきましょう。そうした確認ポイントの他には、LBS進学前のキャリア経験から得たスキル、専門知識や経験値が卒業後のキャリア開発に対する土台(ファンデーション)となっているかという点にも着目していきましょう。

これまでの(職業)キャリアを振り返り、自分にとって「転換期」にあたる部分を確認し、さらには現在のキャリアパスを選択し、ここまで(キャリア開発に)邁進してきた理由、さらには国際色豊かなLBSでビジネス教育を受けたいと考えるに至った背景も考えていきましょう。

同校に限らず、特に欧州のビジネススクールでは「多様性」に重きを置いたクラス編成を実践しています。他校との違いに対する理解を確認する上でも、短期目標を達成するため、2年間ロンドンで生活することから得られるアドバンテージ(例:卒業生とのネットワーキング機会を通じて得られるもの)も忘れずに考えたいところです。

Is there any other information you believe the Admissions Committee should know about you and your application to London Business School? (500 words)

一方のエッセイ課題では職業、卒業後の目的など、プロフェショナルな内容が要求されるため、このOptional Essayでは、自らのパーソナルな側面を描き出すことに注力してはいかがでしょうか。育った環境、そうした過程で影響を受けた人、人生を歩む上での考え方やモットー。さらには重要な判断や決断を下さなければならなかった時のこと、また、困難な状況と自分がどう向き合い、乗り越えたてきたのか。自らのグローバルマインドや多様性を重視する価値観はどう育まれてきたのか。具体的なエピソードを展開させることで、多様な側面を読み手に伝えていきたいですね。
