Here is the personal essay that got an MBA grad into the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business (by RobinMadell)

Saporu beat the odds and got in, graduating with his MBA in June 2018. One major factor that he pointed to as having "played a large part" in greasing the wheels to receive that coveted acceptance letter was writing a strong personal essay, which he has shared below, in its entirety, exclusively with Business Insider.

, a newly launched financial advising firm based in New York City that has partnered with Charles Schwab as the custodian for client assets.Saporu admitted that he was "conflicted at first" about what to write for this critical part of his MBA application. "A lot of applicants will have great profiles and stats, but what do they plan to do with the degree? What can they add to the community? How interested are they in [the] school and how much research did they do? The essay is a great way for applicants to [answer these questions]," Saporu suggested.

But the essay topic for prospects who were seeking to enroll in 2016 — the year that Saporu applied — gave students "a great deal of latitude,"Booth website"Chicago Booth values individuality because of what we can learn from the diverse experiences and perspectives of others. This mutual respect creates an open-minded community that supports curiosity, inspires us to think more broadly, take risks, and challenge assumptions.

Out of all of these possibilities for approach, length, and format, Saporu honed in on Photo 1 in the gallery. Here, unedited, is the personal essay that he submitted that helped him gain admission to Booth's MBA program: A community can leave you wanting. This describes my feelings near the end of my tenure at the University of North Dakota. A new head coach and two consecutive season ending injuries on the football field left me feeling isolated from a community that had brought me so much joy playing the sport I loved. I no longer felt value and with my isolation other areas of my life suffered including academics.
