In this Yale MBA Essay Tip, I share how to identify the community, share specific examples about the value you received and how you contributed to the community
Describe the community that has been most meaningful to you. What is the most valuable thing you have gained from being a part of this community and what is the most important thing you have contributed to this community?
To answer Yale’s multi-part Community Essay question, follow these 3 strategies:
1. Identifying the Community: By its broadest definition, a community is the neighborhood where you currently reside or where you grew up. But there are three more definitions of communities that can help you capture stories that are unconventional but shed light on a unique aspect of your personality or your life journey.
2. How the Community Helped you
3. How you Contributed Back
The best ones are around founding stories – starting a non-profit, starting a venture with social goals, or dedicating regular hours every week to the community.
