Studying for an MBA requires a certain determination and strength of character.

In recent years, the business world has become rapidly integrated across once re
stricting borders, and anyone with high goals in the business world must have an
international perspective and be aware of the realities of different internatio
nal arenas. I am unique, and uniquely fortunate, to have a diverse background bo
th academically and professionally which has exposed me to different continents,
peoples, cultures, and languages. As a native of Asia, I am familiar with the i
ncreasingly important markets of this region, and as such I am thoroughly prepar
ed for the demands and challenges presented by undertaking study in the MBA prog
ram at your institution.

From a young age, I set goals beyond those of my peers. I decided to pursue a Ba
chelor s degree in International Hotel Management, but in recognition of the limit
ation of programs in this field in my native country, I decided to pursue my und
ergraduate degree in Europe. The international hotel management course I joined
was run by Goodwell University in the UK, and due to the experience of the instr
uctors and the overall sophistication of the program, I received an incredibly v
aluable learning experience, beyond that which I could have received elsewhere.
My undergraduate coursework at Goodwell University focused on management marketi
ng, accounting, and various aspects of tourism. I received broad business-based
education while immersing myself in European culture and language on a daily bas
is. As a result, I am confident in my ability to adapt to your environment and j
oin your MBA program.

After graduation from Goodwell University, I returned to my native country, but

the limitations of the rapidly growing domestic hotel industry quickly became ap
parent to me. I therefore sought employment in a different field in which I coul
d better utilize my skills. I began working in the Marketing Department of Makeb
est Textile Company, where I learned how to control costs, devise marketing stra
tegies, and develop lasting relationships with customers. I am currently working
as the Assistant Sales Manager in this company, responsible for the development
of overseas customers and analyses of sales goals.

After more than three years in this company, I am confident working in a fast-pa
ced international business environment. However, during these years I have encou
ntered numerous obstacles and unforeseen challenges. Therefore, after careful co
nsideration, I decided that further study in an MBA program would be not only us
eful, but perhaps essential in developing my career potential and providing me w
ith greater opportunities for future success.

My career path has led me from the rapidly developing markets of my native count
ry in Asia to the rolling hills of England and back again. Now, I feel that the
next logical destination on my path is your MBA program. The curriculum of your
MBA program is similar to that which I studied previously, yet it is much more c
hallenging and will allow me to develop my abilities further. I already have a s
trong background in various aspects of business, from marketing and management t
o accounting and sales. Because of this, I feel I am uniquely qualified to atten
d your MBA program.

After completion of my studies, I plan to return to Makebest Textile Company and

apply what I learn in your program to the benefit of the company. Within five y
ears after graduating, I expect to have developed a successful career that I can
be proud of. I believe that my past shows a steady yet rapid progression throug
h the business world, and I am eager to continue that progression by enrolling i
n your MBA program. Thank you for your time and consideration.
