Thursday, October 18, 2007 UNC / Kenan-Flagler Essay Topic Analysis 2007-2008 With many applicants turning their attention to Kenan-Flagler’s application at this point in the month, we wanted to offer our thoughts on each of the program’s inquiries for this year. UNC’s application essays for this season are identical to last year’s. Rather than the typical approach of offering applicants a number of essay options and requiring that they select and respond to several of these, UNC includes two optional essays that might only be applicable to a portion of the applicant pool. Though the 2000 total words across the two required essays don’t put the school’s topics too far below the average in terms of total application length, most applicants will have to cover their entire candidacies in response to just two fairly narrow questions - a task that will require some considerable reflection and strategic thinking. Essay 2: Describe the major obstacles or challenges you have faced in pursuit of your goals. Tell us how you addressed these challenges and how they have shaped you (800 words maximum). Essay Four (Optional): UNC Kenan-Flagler seeks to enroll students from a variety of undergraduate majors. Regardless of your major, we strongly recommend that all students enter the program with some background in calculus, microeconomics, statistics and financial accounting. If you have not studied one or more of these subjects in college or university, please tell us how you have developed proficiency in these areas. If you have not been exposed to one or more of these subjects, please tell us how you will prepare yourself prior to entering UNC Kenan-Flagler (400 words maximum). |
