Essays

There are two required essays and one optional essay.

1.) If you could host a dinner party and invite any four people, either living or dead, whom would you invite and what would the five of you discuss together? There is no right answer concerning the dinner guests; we want you to be creative and thoughtful in your response.

2.) Describe how your experiences, both professional and personal, have led you to the decision to pursue an MBA at Georgia Tech. How does this decision relate to your future career goals?

3.) (Optional) The Admissions Committee believes that the required essays address issues that help us learn about you and understand your candidacy for the MBA program, however, you may provide us with any additional information pertinent to your admission that has not been previously covered in the rest of the application. Feel free to discuss any unique aspects of your candidacy or any perceived weaknesses.

Please note that there is a 4,000 character maximum (including spaces) for each essay, so please be sure to keep that in mind should you choose to work on the essays in advance.
