今天我们来谈一下芝加哥大学2010年秋季MBA 申请Essay题目。芝加哥大学商学院2008年底命名为Booth商学院，以纪念校友David Booth。Booth在金融危机肆虐的2008年，给芝加哥商学院捐赠了芝加哥大学有史以来最大一笔捐款--3亿美元（详情：Press Release）！芝加哥大学Booth商学院的essay题目有三道，前2道是常规的题目，第三道是采取幻灯片的形式让申请人展示自己，是比较新颖的形式。

Essays

1. How did you choose your most recent job/internship and how did this experience influence your future goals? What about the Chicago Booth MBA makes you feel it is the next best step in your career at this time? (750-1000 words)这道题问的内容比较多：你怎样选择你最近的工作/实习？工作/实习的经历对你未来目标有何影响？芝加哥Booth商学院哪些地方让你认为现在它是你职业生涯最好的下一步？注意，是让你谈最近的经历，而不是以前的。后面一问实际包含：为什么选择读芝加哥Booth商学院？为什么现在是最好的时机？

2. Please choose one of the following (500 - 750 words) 以下选择任一题:

• Describe a time when you wish you could have retracted something you said or did. When did you realize your mistake and how did you handle the situation? 这道题主要是谈你对自己说错的话或错误行动的反省，以及你什么时候发现你错了，如何处理你的错误？很多商学院都有类似题目。
• Describe a time when you were surprised by feedback that you received. What was the feedback and why were you surprised? 描述一次让你吃惊的反馈，反馈内容是什么？为什么你感到吃惊？

Slide Presentation 幻灯片

芝加哥大学Booth商学院要求学生提供一个4页的幻灯片，且这4页幻灯片只能以文字和图片的形式展现，其他幻灯片的功能如音乐/超链接/videos等不能添加。这4也幻灯片的内容是：你希望你未来的同学了解你哪些方面，且这些内容是其他申请材料中未涉及的。要注意的是，此处类似与申请材料的补充说明，且限定篇幅，每页PPT不可能放太多内容，申请人应该选择申请表格和前面2道ESSAY题未提及或者未能详细说明的内容。这道题完全是一个开放式命题，而且用今天广泛在演讲/演示中用的幻灯片形式来展示自己，申请人应力求用重点突出的简洁文字和图片来展示自己的优秀面。

In four slides or less please answer the following question: What have you not already shared in your application that you would like your future classmates to know about you?

We have set forth the following guidelines for you to consider when creating your presentation.

• The content is completely up to you. There is no right or wrong approach to this essay.
• Feel free to use the software you are most comfortable with. Acceptable formats for upload in the online application system are PowerPoint or PDF.
• There is a strict maximum of four slides, though you can provide fewer than four if you choose.
• Slides will be printed and added to your file for review, therefore, flash, hyperlinks, embedded videos, music, etc. will not be viewed by the committee. You are limited to text and static images to convey your points. Color may be used.
• Slides will be uated on the quality of content and ability to convey your ideas, not on technical expertise or presentation.
• You are welcome to attach a document containing notes if you feel a deeper explanation of your slides is necessary. However the hope is the slide is able to stand alone and convey your ideas clearly. You will not be penalized for adding notes but you should not construct a slide with the intention of using the notes section as a consistent means of explanation.
