The Application Process

Essay 3: Please provide additional information that will significantly affect the consideration of your application to the ISB. (300 words max)

This "additional information' question reads like an optional essay, but it is not. It is one of the required essays which provides you an opportunity to explore an important aspect of your candidacy, or other significant achievements / strengths not mentioned in other essay responses, resume and recommendation letters. You can choose examples from your work, community service, education, travels, or any other hobbies. You may also share a life experience that has greatly influenced your personality and life. The idea is to bring to light that aspect of your personality that truly makes you unique. Then you should try to demonstrate how you can leverage this skill or quality to enhance your MBA experience or your future career.

Lastly, since ISB doesn't provide an optional essay, you may use this essay question to address a weakness in your profile, such as a gap in work or low GPA or GMAT.

Example:

"The private tutoring job that I had to take up to support mine and my sister's education required me to spend 30 hours/ week and left me with hardly any time to focus on my studies. This eventually ended up pulling down my grades to 70%."
