The admissions committee at Carnegie Mellon University has released the prompt for this season’s Tepper MBA essay. The 2017-2018 CMU Tepper MBA application includes only one required question (the same as last year) with a limit of 300-350 words and an additional optional essay should applicants have any additional information to convey that is not otherwise addressed in the application. Reapplicants are asked to respond to the optional essay as well.
After getting waitlisted I visited the campus and spoke with Admissions, submitted a letter of continued interest, spoke with some current students, and also received a letter of support from a formal manager. Guess all that was enough to get me off the waitlist!
