The Yale MBA essays are short, so there’s no room for fluff. The school values clarity, purpose, and impact — especially in the main essay: “Describe the biggest commitment you have ever made.”
Here’s how to write a strong one:
Pick one clear story — not multiple. Choose something that shows real effort over time (e.g., mentoring, building something, leading a long-term project).
Focus on actions and growth — explain what you did, what challenged you, and how it changed you.
Don’t just describe the commitment — show why it mattered to you and how it shaped your values or goals.
Tie it subtly to what you want to do at Yale or in your career. Doesn’t need to be direct, but some link helps show long-term alignment.
Also, keep your tone real. They’re not looking for perfect heroes — just thoughtful people with strong values.
