LBS MBA Essay 2: What Makes you Unique (200 Words)
Every competent professional targeting top schools, including LBS, has committed to excellence in their profession. That doesn’t make an applicant unique. The top 1-5% performance will help them gain attention, but to highlight uniqueness, an applicant should lean into their belief and the passion that emanates from the belief.
Case Study: Agri Business (Food as a Right)
An applicant who grew up in a farming community, where principles of shared economic prosperity were lived realities, the commitment to equitable growth was not a narrative built for MBA essays. She founded a non-profit to mitigate food insecurity, all arising from cultures she grew up around and a firm belief that 'Food' was a communal right and not just a commodity at the mercy of weather and market forces.
She pivoted from her non-profit to a policy role where she could solve the problem at a level above the operational lens. Now her belief in equitable access to food has set a new ambition - to influence IMPACT investment in African Agri Business.
The most believable essays include culture and growing up in a community as influences on the applicant’s strong beliefs.
