Excerpts of Yale MBA essays :
Essay 1: What motivates your decision to pursue
an MBA? (300 words maximum)
Having been born and brought up in a business family, I have had
constant exposure to the vagaries of business. My passion for
becoming a women entrepreneur has grown stronger down the years. My
fathers water purification business wherein he researches
different technologies for water purification across the world and
develops technologies in house and provides it to the Indian
government by setting up plants across north India has stoked my
interest. I have adopted my fathers dream of empowering people
through the right education and have been instrumental in the
establishment of an animation school which has since diversified
into a publication and production business.
From my current position, the path ahead seems clear to me. A vital
next step for me is an MBA from a top ranked school. Having myself
witnessed first- hand how a top notch academic experience can
galvanize a personality and the right exposure can transform ones
prospects, I am eager to undergo the immense learning which an MBA
shall bring. An MBA at the current stage of my career will inject it
with the perfect combination of acceleration, exposure, targeted
learning and vitality. I am certain that, armed with an MBA, which I
see as an inevitable next step, I would be able to reach out much
more effectively for my goals.
MBA from a reputed international Management school would give me the
right exposure and prepare me further to take up roles which require
strategic intervention, direction setting and agenda achievement in
globally renowned corporate. This time is the perfect time to
undertake an MBA from Yale as I will be able to benefit from the
emerging thought movements, analysis and be witnesses to a rare
phenomenon of watching the global economy get back on its feet from
a slowdown.

education for broad-minded, rigorous, and intellectually curious
students with diverse backgrounds; a distinctive integrated
