Imperial's application includes specific essay questions designed to understand your motivations and fit for the program. For instance, one question asks how you expect the MBA program to impact your career in both the short and long term. Another inquires why you want to study at Imperial College Business School and how you'll contribute to their community. There's also a question about a time when you embodied one or more of Imperial’s values: Respect, Collaboration, Integrity, Innovation, and Excellence.
To craft compelling responses, be clear and concise. Clearly articulate your career goals and how Imperial's MBA aligns with them. Reflect on your past experiences where you've demonstrated leadership or innovation, and connect these to how you'll contribute to the Imperial community. Ensure your essay is well-structured and free from errors. Keep in mind, this is your opportunity to showcase your unique qualities and how they align with what Imperial is looking for.

First, just make sure you clearly answer the questions they give. For example, one question asks how the MBA will help your short-term and long-term career goals. So don’t write a general answer—be specific. Talk about where you are now, what you want to do after the MBA, and how Imperial can help you get there.
They’ll also ask why you want to join Imperial and how you’ll add value to the class. So this is where you should show you’ve done your research. Mention something about their teaching style, clubs, or values—and connect it with your own experiences.
Finally, there’s a question about one of their core values like respect, innovation, or collaboration. Just pick one and share a real story from your life that shows how you lived that value. Keep your answers clear, personal, and to the point. That’s what works best.
