WHAT DO MBA ADMISSIONS COMMITTEES LOOK FOR IN A PERSONAL STATEMENT?
MBA Admissions Committees are asking you to explain your interest in an MBA program. Your personal statement should indicate your motivation and aptitude, your relevant experience and skills, and any other information that would be useful to the Admissions Committee in assessing your application. In general terms, Admissions Committees look for candidates who demonstrate an interest in business, who are committed to further academic study and who can communicate clearly and effectively. Any academic and non-academic activity that provides evidence to support these criteria will be taken into account.
