One of the application essays asks me about "An Entrepreneur Admire." I have a few questions about this:

1) Is the admissions office attempting to know about me as a business person or just a person in general?

2) Are they asking about my business goal or my life goal? They are quite different.

3) To me, an entrepreneur does not only refer to someone with a company such as a CEO. I believe an actor, a singer, a writer, a stage performer, or any such profession is an entrepreneur in its own right as well, that the enterprise/product for this type of profession is himself. He has to manage himself, sell himself, risk himself, and other tasks that are similar to what a CEO does. Is this an okay answer, or is this considered bending or not answering the question? I just want to write something different, not a typical CEO.

I already have a person in mind, but depending on the answers to these questions, I may have to change it.

"An Entrepreneur Admire":

1) Is the admissions office attempting to know about me as a business person or just a person in general?

Both - but primarily you as an entrepreneur/business person. Also depends on what other essays cover. If there is an essay question thaht covers your personal side well, focus this essay on your business/entrepreneurial leanings.


2) Are they asking about my business goal or my life goal? They are quite different.


They are asking for neither - they really want to know what qualities you admire/aspire for in an entrepreneur. It provides them with a glimpse of your business value system/your approach to entrepreneurship.


3) To me, an entrepreneur does not only refer to someone with a company such as a CEO. I believe an actor, a singer, a writer, a stage performer, or any such profession is an entrepreneur in its own right as well, that the enterprise/product for this type of profession is himself. He has to manage himself, sell himself, risk himself, and other tasks that are similar to what a CEO does. Is this an okay answer, or is this considered bending or not answering the question? I just want to write something different, not a typical CEO.

Sure. It's ok. What you say makes sense. Depends on how you say it though.

Hope that helps.
