According to London Business School (LBS), what makes its program so unique and valuable is its continued business impact, global growth, and world-class people. LBS is particularly proud of its multinational students who hail from a variety of professional and personal backgrounds. The school\u2019s application includes two mandatory essays and one optional essay. Hopefully, our tips can help get you ready to compose two great LBS essays (or three!).<\/span><\/p>\n With this prompt, LBS wants to know that you have given careful thought to your career path, that you understand what the program has to offer with respect to your particular professional objectives, and that you believe the skills and experiences you will gain there will help you achieve your goals. When you break it down, the prompt is asking for three basic things: (1) what you hope to be doing professionally after you graduate, (2) how what you have done in the past will help you succeed in your target role\/industry, and (3) what LBS can provide to assist and support you. Ideally, this essay will complement the information in your resume and recommendations and tell a more comprehensive story about where you have been and where you want to go in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Be as specific as possible about what you would like to do. Explain why you believe these goals are particularly right for you. Why is this the path you have chosen to take? To explain how you will get there, focus on identifying and sharing the skills and experiences you have developed so far and which ones you need to gain at each step along the way (e.g., at LBS, in an internship, in your first post-MBA job).<\/span><\/p>\n The other important message to convey is how LBS fits into your plans to reach your goals. Do your research on the school to figure out which specific classes, events, clubs, faculty members, community attributes, job search resources, and\/or other offerings are relevant to your ambitions, and clearly spell out how they will help you. With LBS, you should always think about the international component, too \u2014 the school\u2019s London location, its globally diverse student body and faculty, and the opportunities it provides to study at roughly 30 business school partners around the world. If this is key to your goals in some way, you definitely want to address it in your essay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nQuestion 1: What are your post-MBA goals and how will your prior experience and the London Business School programme contribute towards these?
