Columbia MBA Essay-1:

What are your short-term and long-term post-MBA goals? How will Columbia Business School help you achieve these goals? (Recommended 750 word limit)

Among leading business schools in the United States, the Columbia MBA program strikes me as unique for its heavy inclusion of non-profit management education. Columbia Business School’s unique ideal of “entrepreneurship is about anything you do” seems perfectly geared to my unique professional aspiration of working in the non-profit sector. This envisioned career path is the outcome of my past industrial experience, current educational experience and my future MBA training at your esteemed university.

Immediately after earning my MBA degree, I will seek a position with an established nonprofit organization providing support to education sector in the United States where I can learn how mature education-oriented non-profit management is practiced in the real world. In three to five years, I wish to thoroughly grasp the guiding concepts and standards of non-profit management. It is usually the case that the more advanced the countries, the more developed the nonprofit entrepreneurship. Those mature and advanced experiences are what I can borrow and apply to education in Hong Kong where I come from. Therefore, my long-term objective is to launch a nonprofit organization to operate free activity-based programs oriented to the education sector. The purpose of those programs is to provide students with opportunities to learn important knowledge and skills they need to excel in their future careers through participating in extra-curricular activities and to create opportunities for the Hong Kong business sector to channel its abundant corporate resources to improve our educational qualities.

I have formulated my career path with sufficient foundation and motivation. For the past three years as a teacher, I have witnessed how limited government expenditure on education has seriously constrained the resources otherwise available to students, thus depriving them of many valuable extracurricular activities from which to learn many important knowledge and skills. This dilemma has resulted in the failure of students to smoothly integrate into the job market upon their graduation and in their employers’ complaint over their lack basic knowledge and skills to carry out their jobs even though they perform well enough in public examinations. However, as a leading financial center in the world, Hong Kong has the financial resources to supplement government’s limited input. My one-year experience of working as an auditor in Hong Kong’s business community gave me an insider’s knowledge of the willingness of the business sector to support extracurricular programs because such programs would develop graduates with critical thinking abilities, problem solving abilities, analytical abilities, decision making abilities, creativity as well as leadership. Equipped with those qualities, graduates can make immediate and meaningful contributions.

This means that, without burdening the governmental budgeting, the schools, teachers and students can enjoy ample resources for satisfying their individualized needs. During the past two years, I have counseled students who participated in program offered by Junior Achievement, an international nonprofit program. I am aware that extracurricular programs like workshops, competitions and summer interns can be a valuable addition to students in their preparation for the future. But similar local nonprofit programs are virtually non-existent. I am convinced the nonprofit organization I am to inaugurate is wholly feasible because it can alleviate government spending, creating expanded resources for schools, and allowing the business sector to build up a positive corporate image by exercising their social responsibility—a truly exciting win-win-win situation. I believe my experience across both business sector and education sector will give me advantages for designing programs that best fit the needs of students. It is with special insight into the gap to be bridged between the business sector and the education sector and with a heartfelt love for the well-being of our younger generation that I decide to commit myself to the sorely needed nonprofit management.

My proposed Columbia MBA education will be indispensable to fulfilling my career goals as its well-designed curriculum perfectly fits my learning needs. The Individual, Business and Society curriculum in core courses will increase my understanding of the conflicts and trade offs that arise in balancing business conduct with the concerns of individuals and society. Also, the Social Enterprises Concentration within Columbia’s MBA program offer a full rage of elective courses, activities and initiatives that will give me maximum exposure to the field. Without minimum course requirements, I will enjoy great flexibility in designing my course of study. Courses such as Board and Executive Management of Nonprofits, Social Entrepreneurship, Launching New Ventures, Entrepreneurial Selling and Entrepreneurial Finance will provide me with opportunities to explore the common strategies and pitfalls in creating and operating stable, sustainable, and successful nonprofit organization through cases studies, lectures, in-class exercises, group discussions and team projects. I will also have chances to put the theories learned into practice by participating in a wide rage of social enterprise activities including CORPS Fellowship Program, Social Venture Internship Fund and Global Social Venture Competition.

New York is a global corporate center and home to more nonprofit organizations than any other city in the world. Through Columbia’s MBA program, I expect not only to learn the conceptual and managerial know-how to operate a nonprofit organization but also to meet leading practitioners of social enterprises there. This will facilitate my short-term post-MBA goal, the success of which will bring me ever closer to my long-term goal.
