CMU’s Tepper School of Business Welcomes LGBTQ MBA Applicants
Carnegie Mellon University (CMU)’s Tepper School of Business took to Twitter recently to remind prospective applicants that its MBA program is one that warmly welcomes lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and queer applicants.
“Are you a member of the LGBTQ community and thinking about an MBA? The Tepper School can be the perfect place for you,” according to the school’s official Twitter account. The tweet linked to a page on the Tepper School site devoted to the LGBTQ community.
On that page, the school highlights its belief that leaders come from diverse backgrounds bringing perspectives shaped by their own unique personal and professional experiences – and, specifically, that LGBTQ students bring a valuable point of view to contribute to the community.
For prospective applicants wondering whether they should be out in their application essays, Tepper says this: “If you are comfortable sharing this information with the admissions committee and you feel that your experience as an LGBTQ individual will help demonstrate your candidacy for business school, the admissions committee would appreciate hearing your story.” Of course, the information you include in your essays is a personal choice, the school notes, but it adds that mentioning participation in LGBTQ-related clubs and organizations can help show community involvement – an attribute it likes to see in MBA candidates.
The page provides additional information and guidance regarding the role of partners in the Tepper community, Tepper’s Out&Allied network, how to connect with an LGBTQ current student or alum, whether to be out during the recruiting process and more.
