Dear Sir or Madam,

I wish to apply to the MBA program at Harvard University for the 2018 autumn intake. This
program is a solid step towards my future career as a businessperson who understands and
appreciates science and technology. My ultimate career idea is to hold a management position in
banking or a consulting company on the Wall Street.

In 2015, I earned a Bachelor degree with a specialization in industrial management from


Columbia University in the City of New York. Benefiting from the broad nature of industrial
engineering, I have been exposed to a extensive range of subjects from business to technology.
Having studied the specialized courses, I have acquired the essential skills of systematic
research, analytical thinking and information evaluation. Most prominently, they provided me with
insight into business management combining with engineering science.

I was in general among the top students in my classes. Furthermore, I was privileged to be the
only student of my department who won the award for the the Excellent Bachelor Thesis of
Columbia University. I studied handling technology innovation of Port, which is the world’s largest
coal exporter. While writing my thesis, I personally went to the loading and unloading locations to
collect the data. In my thesis, I referred to more than sixty key technical articles. After my
thorough and resourceful analysis, I recommended a novel solution resulting in mounting
valuable production time of about one hour per day.

After graduating, I was selected as an exchange student at the postgraduate programme in


Business management. By studying at this program, I became acquainted with standard
business practices and gained a deeper appreciation of the investment framework in the EU. I
especially enjoyed Professor Cabott’s lectures because they strengthened my understanding on
economic analysis. After six months of intensive study, I passed all the exams, with a grade of
19/20 in tax law and the highest mark in the other two courses.

Aside from the favorable learning environment of the Columbia University, I most enjoyed its
academic freedoms and active pluralism. With acquiescence, I attended some management
courses. These courses broadened my view of techniques of managerial accounting and
management strategy. Moreover, I attended many academic activities, such as lectures and
debates, which served to further my interest in business and economics. Equally important, I had
the opportunity to raise challenging questions to internationally known scholars.

Apart from my studies, I acted as a student leader at our student union and volunteered in other
activities such as London Olympic Games. Also, I worked as a teaching assistant to Professor
McSheer and assistant of manager in the summer internship at British Petroleum. Through these
experiences, I strengthened my interpersonal skills by working with fellow team members and
others.

There are four key reasons why I want to study at this program. First, I selected your program
because of its primary focus on business with the expectation that students already possess a
strong understanding of science. Second, Mr. Smith, a fellow student of the program, has
provided me with his thoughts about the program. From our conversations, I became excited to
learn about the courses such as advanced marketing. Third, I wish to grow to be a manager who
can combine the science of technology with the art of management. And last, Professor XX, who
is the teacher of my mentor XX, encouraged me to study at XX University, where he has worked
for ten years. I am thankful for his thoughtfulness and friendship.

Thank you for your attention and consideration. I look forward to your acceptance.
Yours sincerely,
