MBA Yale University
1.Please discuss the principle elements of your educational and work
experience to date. Describe your specific career objectives as a
professional manager (three to five pages, double-spaced)
Since I had worked in the xxx product department of xxx, established
by my deceased father, the yearly income was $xx million in 19xx and in
the top 10 rank in Korea, my major problem was a lack of knowledge in
Finance and Management. Upon graduation from undergraduate studies, I
was employed in the Management Planning Team. Because I did not have
the background in business administration from majoring in English
Literature in undergraduate, I realized the difficulty in grasping the concept of general company matters,
marketing analysis, and setting up the short and long-term marketing
plan. When I participated in the future development of xxx and sales
project for 10 months that began in February 19xx, I realized that I
was incapable of successfully performing my duties as an
Assistant Manager with 8 staff members for a project in which the
company heavily depended upon. It was then that I had realized what
special talent was needed to become a successful manager. For instance,
while analyzing xxx, xxx's technological advantage and marketing
strategies, I realized the importance of learning Marketing Research
and Strategy. I also realized the importance of Financial Management
and Corporate Financial Policies when planning sales and marketing
strategies for the future sales of xxx and strategies for increasing
our market.
Through these experiences, I became strongly motivated to applying
to your college.Upon graduation from Yale, I plan to be the most
representative person at xxx by learning and applying the strategies of
these large growing global corporations in the United States., and if
possible I would like to analyze our competitors, xxx and xxx. I would
also like to have experience with the U.S. market and its' customer
characteristics in preparation for future plan of xxx to set up xxx
subsidiaries in the United States. I plan to work for 5 years at xxx
after graduation from Yale, by improving xxx so that it will rank
second to xxx. My long-term goal is to be able to challenge the CEO's
of the top 5 ranking companies in Korea, such as Hyundai of Korea. In
addition, to achieve my goals, I plan to earn the CFA certification
upon my MBA studies. Armed with the CFA certification and Top School's
International bent, strength in finance and management training, I will
be ready to place that call to the trader in China, conduct a
teleconference with xxx corporation in Tokyo, and visit the CFO in
America.
2.Please describe your learning goals in the MBA program. Discuss
the value of the MBA education as applied to your career plans (one to
two, double-spaced)
By selecting courses in my major such as management strategy,
finance, and entrepreneurship, I intend to establish a firm and
fundamental framework of business management knowledge that is
essential to my carrer. And if possible, I will obtain summer
internships at McKinsey and A.T. Kearney while enrolled at Yale, and
attempt to gain an understanding of U.S. corporate culture, which will
be essential to my international experience. If I am given the
opportunity, I would like to study Corporate Finance and Financial
Strategy. In my situation that I should come back to the xxx which was
established by my deceased father and join the management team, without
the knowledge of finance, I could not successfully manage the company
and be an incompetent businessman. I would like to focus my studies on subjects relating to Entrepreneurship and Marketing. I believe
that I am qualified to be competitive among your students because I
have earned a certificate of Accounting and Finance, sponsored by the
xxx.
Along with this basic background, I am currently studying Finance as
a graduate student at the xxx University Business School. Yale is my
top choice for three main reasons. First of all, I would like to get
engaged in the studies as to Strategy and Finance. In particular, I
want to explore the comprehensive details about the strategic
consulting through such subjects as Entrepreneurship and Corporate
Finance. To the best of my knowledge, Yale SOM is academically strong
enough be called 'International Center for Finance' particularly in the
field of finance. Second reason is the many advantages that can be
offered from the location of your school, with worldwide competitive
corporations gathered in New York and Boston.
Third, I am planning to pursue the CFA in 2002 based on the
knowledge related to the corporate finance, valuation and investment,
and investment management that I will learn from Yale. I strongly
believe that this certificate will enhance the credibility of my
potential carrer to great extent.
Essay 3: Optional Is there any information not presented elsewhere
in the application or any aspect of your credentials that needs an
explanation to help the Admissions Committee understand your candidacy?
I would like to explain why I want to transfer to your school from
xxx University which I am currently attending. First, the primary
reason is the importance of alumni association in which the school
advocates. I believe that close interpersonal relationship and
networking will serve as the basis for practical business in the
future. My colleagues and I will be able to learn the importance of
cooperation in supportive environment that Yale will provide. For the
past few months I have been in the U.S. with few connections, I
realized the importance of a strong supportive alumni association. For
instance, if an alumni association of Yale in Korea proves to be weak
in the future, I believe that it can be a downside in proving my
talents and in taking the advantage of networking as a businessman.
For this reason, I made it necessity to transfer to a university in
the Top 20 ranking. Secondly, Yale will enable me take the opportunity
of its' location. Due to the location of xxx University in a rural
place, I am having a difficult time in experiencing the American
culture. I would like to learn about American corporations that are
located in the city and this will enable me to get a better grasp of
the American market. With this knowledge, I believe that I can
successfully apply it to xxx in xxx's diverseness in customer
characteristics. I would like to transfer to your university because of
the opportunities that I can take from its location in the city because
I realize that I cannot combine class time and individual studies from
the xxx University, which is x hours away from the city.
