Welcome to F1GMAT’s weekend updates for the week ending June 11th, 2022. I am Atul Jose. 

Top Schools that have released the essays and deadlines for the 2023 entering class or the 2025 graduating class during the 2nd week of June include: Wharton, Kellogg School of Management, and Chicago Booth. 

Round 1 deadline for Kellogg is 14th Sep 2022, Round 2 on January 10th, 2023, and Round 3 on April 5th, 2023.

Kellogg has two essays for the 2-year Full-time MBA program. One question is about leadership. And the other is about values. Both are 450-word essays. 

The first question is, "Kellogg’s purpose is to educate, equip and inspire leaders who create lasting value. Provide a recent example where you have demonstrated leadership and created value. What challenges did you face and what did you learn? (450 words)

The second question is, "Values are what guide us in our life and work. What values are important to you and how have they influenced you? (450 words)"

For Booth, the Round 1 deadline is 22nd Sep 2022, Round 2 on January 5th, 2023, and Round 3 on April 11th, 2023.

Booth has two essaysfor the 2-year Full-time MBA program with a 250-word minimum word limit requirement and no maximum word limit.  One question is about career goals. And the second is about you as a person.

The first question goes like this" How will a Booth MBA help you achieve your immediate and long-term post-MBA career goals? (Minimum 250 words, no maximum.)

The second question is, "An MBA is as much about personal growth as it is about professional development. In addition to sharing your experience and goals in terms of career, we’d like to learn more about you outside of the office. Use this opportunity to tell us something about who you are… (Minimum 250 words, no maximum.)"

Wharton's Round 1 deadline is on 7th, September 2022, Round 2 on January 4th, 2023 and Round 3 on March 29th, 2023. 

Like Booth, the first 500-word essay question at Wharton is about career goals, and the second 400-word essay question is about your potential contribution to the Wharton Community. 

The first Essay Question goes like this "How do you plan to use the Wharton MBA program to help you achieve your future professional goals? You might consider your past experience, short and long-term goals, and resources available at Wharton. (500 words)"

The second essay question goes like this "Taking into consideration your background – personal, professional, and/or academic – how do you plan to make specific, meaningful contributions to the Wharton community? (400 words)"
