Personal Statement
In an essay that is 500-700 words in length, please answer the questions below:
- Why are you applying to the Johnson Cornell Tech MBA?
- Why are you interested in a one-year, tech-focused MBA (as opposed to a traditional two-year MBA program that would offer a summer internship opportunity)?
- What personal attributes or skills do you think make you ideally suited to be a Cornell Tech MBA student?
- Demonstrate the relationship between your current professional experience and academic background to your short- (0-5 years after graduating) and long-term (6-15 years after graduating) career goals for this program.
- Describe a situation in your personal or professional life when you were faced with a difficult decision or dilemma and how you resolved it (focusing on your process, not just the resolution itself).
- At Cornell Tech, we aim to educate leaders for the digital age. What, in your opinion is the single most important characteristic that such leaders must possess? Why?
- What else would you like the admissions committee to know about you?
