Wharton EMBA Essay Tips and Deadlines [2019 - 2020]

The Wharton EMBA adcom, through its three required questions, expresses its values and its interest in a relationship with students who share those values. Each of the questions highlights a different facet of this relationship. Respecting, recognizing, and responding to that vision through your essays will be the key to a successful application. Essay question 1 focuses on your goals and Wharton’s important role in helping you achieve them. Essay question 2 invites you to share your understanding of Wharton broadly and delineate your fit with Wharton’s culture and community. Essay question 3 seeks confirmation that you understand in practical terms what a commitment to attending the program involves. My tips for answering Wharton’s EMBA essay questions are in blue below. Wharton Executive MBA application essays Wharton Executive MBA essay #1 What are your career objectives and how will the Wharton MBA Program for Executives contribute to your attainment of this objective?(750 word limit) An effective (and natural) way to start is to briefly sketch your current career situation to set the context. You can then progress to detailing your future goals – in doing so, clarify how each step leads to the next or builds on the previous one, creating an organic flow. In describing your goals at any given point, indicate why you are taking that step or pursuing that role; this â€Å"why† is what truly animates your goals, elevating them from explanation to a story. Put more detail into the roles you plan immediately post-MBA and the several years following; longer-term goals need less detail, but they still should show a clear direction. In discussing how the program will benefit you, describe what skills and knowledge you need at specific future roles/positions and how the program meets those needs. Also refer to the structure and special features of the program, detailing how they will support you and your goals. Structurally, there are three approaches to this part: (a) weave in the â€Å"Why Wharton?† details after each goals phase, (b) have a separate â€Å"Why Wharton?† paragraph containing this entire discussion holistically, or (c) a mix of (a) and (b), adding some specific Why Wharton? points into the goals section and then an additional paragraph with more encompassing Why Wharton? points. All three work; use the one you find most natural. hbspt.cta.load(58291, '088cf431-34b3-4030-9c1e-432eee48f613', {}); Wharton Executive MBA essay #2 In his groundbreaking Ted Talk â€Å"Are You a Giver or a Taker?† Adam Grant describes three primary personality types in the workplace: givers, takers, and matchers. Based on your understanding of yourself and our program, how do you intend to give and take as a student at Wharton? (750 word limit) First, listen to the Ted Talk, and consider how to ground your essay in its concepts of givers, takers, and matchers. As you write, if you are comfortable doing so, occasionally refer to the talk and integrate it into your discussion – doing so conveys engagement with the ideas that are clearly important to the Wharton EMBA adcom. This question focuses on Wharton as a community and culture, on you as a person, and on the dynamic relationship that can form between you and Wharton (the pivotal phrase is â€Å"your understanding of yourself and our program†). Professional factors should certainly be the key components of your answer, but there may be community, social, and personal facets of your life where you and Wharton intersect, and you can draw on those as well. Caution: don’t spend the whole essay explaining how you will give and take in the future as a Wharton student – rather, to be as credible, interesting, and substantive as possible, root this essay in your experience. SHOW the adcom how you will give and take (and match) by providing examples and anecdotes of this experience, and then link that experience to your planned/desired future involvement as giver/taker/matcher at Wharton. A further benefit of using example and anecdote to make your points is that it gives you an opportunity to strategically showcase aspects of your life and experience that distinguish you and/or enhance your application. Wharton Executive MBA essay #3 Given your already demanding job and the desire to remain committed to important family and personal obligations, how do you plan to handle this additional demand on your time once you enroll? (500 word limit) This straightforward question deserves a straightforward answer. Discuss the accommodations you will make at work, such as delegating more, adjusting travel schedules, etc. Don’t mention every single thing you can think of – focus on the most significant two or three adjustments. Also address your personal responsibilities and how you will meet them with this additional significant demand on your time and energy; even acknowledging that you’ll have less time at the playground with your toddler or mentioning the support of your significant other will show that you’re facing this issue squarely. If you’ve already successfully balanced school and working full time, definitely mention it. Wharton’s Executive MBA, Where East and West Meet and Mix [Episode 283] Wharton Executive MBA essay #4 (Optional) Please explain any extenuating circumstances of which the Admissions Committee should be aware (e.g., unexplained gaps in your work experience, choice of recommenders, inconsistent academic performance). You may also take this opportunity to share other defining aspects of your life that the Admissions Committee would not otherwise have learned from your application or resume. (500 word limit) You can use the optional essay not just to explain a problem (low GMAT, employment gap) but also to present new material that will further illuminate your candidacy. However, if you do the latter, use good judgment and make sure your points are germane to and truly enhance your application. For structuring the essay, first, succinctly explain any points that need explaining. Then, if there is some additional content, write about it succinctly.

Louisiana High School Athletic Association - 1574 Words

Louisiana High School Athletic Association Coty Kibodeaux February 8, 2015 Introduction The Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA) was formed in order to better regulate and develop the high school athletics of the state. It currently governs all high school sports for Louisiana, for both males and females and will soon celebrate its centennial in 2020. The LHSAA finally got its permanent home in Baton Rouge in 2010 and currently governs 16 different sports with various classifications based on school enrollment. History The inception of the idea for the formation of the LHSAA occurred in October of 1920: a group of high school principals met in Baton Rouge after deciding that high school athletics did not have a proper amount of development and regulation. C. A. Ives initially appointed a committee to draft a constitution for the association and those members were P.H. Griffith, S. M. Brame, P.C. Rogers, and Grover C. Koffman. This committee decided that membership within the LHSAA included approved high schools within the state. Originally, there was only one type of school classification: Schools with 110 boys or more (Class 1A) and schools with 110 boys or less (Class B). The original schools had to give up the large sum of $2.00 to be a member of the LHSAA. In about 1930, Class 2A (more than 300 boys) was added. Class C (45 boys or less) was created later in 1949.

Analysis Of The Book What Happy People Know - 1621 Words

Everybody should be happy! But according to Dr. Dan Baker, happiness is a â€Å"relatively rare quality† (6). He further states that it is â€Å"even scarcer now than it was in earlier, less affluent times† (6). But why are so many people so unhappy?

Business Communication Persistence and Preparation

Question: Discuss about the Business Communicationfor Persistence and Preparation. Answer: Communication is a skill that incorporates lessons learned across wide range of knowledge. According to Locker and Kaczmarek (2013), effective communication takes several practice, persistence and preparation. There are many methods to learn the communication skills, however, in the business environment; a learned lesson might come at the cost of the credibility of an individual. Communication is the primary key to the success of any individual in the business environment. The ability to communicate successfully comes from experience and learning effective lessons from them. In both the oral and written situation, an individual will always be benefitted from having the clear communication (Varner and Varner 2014). The growth of an organization entirely depends on the effective communication done by the executives of the company. Discussing the two scenarios below, we can understand how proper communication process can be successful in terms of increasing skills and understanding them efficiently. The first scenario is an information session on wills and estate planning to a group of Aboriginal people. The Aboriginal people have inhabited for over 500000 years in Australia. According to Dudgeon, Milroy and Walker (2014), the Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander people have always faced the depressing effects of racial and economical disadvantages including the dislocation and separation of their families. Still In the dominant western society, Aboriginal people continue to be the marginalized and deprived minority group, compared to other Australians. In communicating with the native people, one should always keep the cultural belief, world views and values in mind, as their views are entirely different from other Australian people. The primary argument that was used by the Australian government for the dislocation of Aboriginal people from their lands was established and accepted by White Australia because from the time of invasion of the Britishers in Australia, they have c onsidered it to unoccupied. British people have always denied the existence of Aboriginal people and represented it to be an unoccupied land namely terra nullis. It is being quite evident that the Aboriginal people have suffered in the past and had to overcome several hurdles to achieve things for their community. However, the problem of land ownership has always been a significant issue and cross cultural communication has been complicated. The required development of the lands made the government to displace many Aboriginal people inhabiting in terra nullius where the developmental projects were launched. It has been well accepted in the other sections of the society, but the fact that Indigenous people are not easily accepted in the other sections of the society is not unfamiliar. In the past years many Aboriginal people were forcefully removed from their land and they tried their best struggling violently to save their assets. These struggles are almost faced by every native gro up while they claim for land, the expensive court cases and required time make a great deal and difficult to attain. In conversation with the Aboriginal people, the model of Hofstade regarding cross cultural communication can be applicable. In this model, Hofstade has categorized the intercultural communication in five dimensions, from which the power distance and individualism vs. collectivism can be applied here (Subramanian 2013). If any outsider wants to have an effective communication with the Indigenous people, the power distance becomes a great barrier considering the trouble and difficulties they faced with their lands. The communication system should proceed in such way that these barriers do not make any difference in the business procedure. In the second scenario, a communication program needs to be framed where the company announces the reduction of their staff when the company also announced record profitability. In this type of communication process, the communication plan is created with the involvement of the stakeholders in the company. Since the critical aim of the communication plan is to announce a reduction in employee numbers after gaining a large number of profits, the approach needs to be strategic and tactical. Subramanian (2013) states that, the goal of the communication needs to the required reposition of the organization among its stakeholders as an integrated provider of asset and management service, also creating the company to be a paradigm of focused culture. According to Shwom and Snyder (2015), the communication strategy needs to signal the changes throughout the company through adopting new identity and name after the huge incorporation of the business, so the created drive would benefit the new rather than the old organizational structure. As the long term survival of the company is the best concern of the authority, the reduction of employees is to be announced and it is quite expected to have an exceedingly high amount of aggression after the announcement is made. The employees, who are losing their jobs, will not be able to understand why it is being done after gaining a huge profit. In this case the management needs to follow the strategy to layoff only the specific employees who were underperforming or unable to meet the desired level of performance to avoid any kind of cross questioning and unnecessary tension in the organizational structure. According to Ainsworth (2013), if the company deducts employees with good performance r ate, it would be harmful in the future for the company and it might create conflict situation. The best way to convey these messages to the desired employees would be through letters and the communication should happen in a polite and considerate manner, as the staffs are expected to react in unpredicted ways. The company should always provide an employee rating after announcing the profits, because the employees should get the exact evaluation before getting their termination letter. According to Subramanian (2013), if the model of Hofstade is considered, power distance can be very much effectual in this type of communication. If the index is of higher degree in the organization, the hierarchy is established clearly, then the employers will not have much cross questioning, however low degree of the power index will invite several cross questioning and employee unrest. By definition, communication is a process where the information is exchanged for the purpose, to achieve a shared understanding. Even in a business environment, both the parties should remember that a shared meaning should be triggered with the communication process that is collective and mutual in its approach. Whether it is inside the organization or outside the organization, it is performed for the commercial profit of the company. An effective two way information sharing procedure should involve a common sharing of knowledge and in cross cultural communication the benefit of the company should always be remembered.
