This may be a dumb question, but I'm having trouble finding the USC full-time MBA essay questions. When you sign online to apply, there's a downloadable form and here are the essay questions:
1) What are your short"term and long"term post"MBA goals? How will USC Marshall help you
achieve these goals? (750 words) If interested in a dual"degree program, please address in this
essay.
2) How will other USC Marshall MBA students benefit from your background, experience,
leadership and teamwork skills? (500 words)
3) Select three from the following and describe: (250 words each)
a) A challenging international experience
b) A personal or professional setback
c) An entrepreneur you admire
d) Your family, including any ties to USC
e) Your most significant accomplishment
f) A situation where your professional ethics were challenged
But then when I do a google search on the forums, every MBA consulting company has this set of questions out:
1) Describe in a brief essay (do not exceed 250 words per section - 750 words maximum):
a) your post-MBA short-term goals (immediately after graduation),
b) your post-MBA long-term goals (3-5 years after graduation),
c) how your professional experience, when combined with an MBA degree, will
enable you to achieve these goals.
2) Complete one of the following three statements. Do not exceed 250 words.
a) "My most significant accomplishment to date is..."
b) "People may be surprised to learn that I..."
c) "I am considered a leader because..."
3) Answer two of the following questions. Do not exceed 500 words per question.
a) The Marshall MBA Prime Program prepares students for doing business in a global
economy. Describe a cross-cultural experience that challenged you. How did you meet this challenge and what did you learn from this experience?
b) USC has garnered national acclaim for its emphasis on community outreach and
service. How have you impacted your community?
c) We all experience significant events or milestones that influence the course of our
lives. Briefly describe such an event and how it affected you.
