Essays

Essays are an integral part of our application process and help us understand you better; who you are, what motivates you, what are your career aspirations and how you will fit in to the Great Lakes community.

As a part of the Application process we have 2 essays:

Why should you be part of PGPM Class of 2019 and how do you think you can enrich the experience of the Great Lakes Community?(Required)

The first essay is compulsory and delves into what you would bring to the Class as an individual. We receive large number of applications from promising candidates every year and while selecting the candidates, it is important for us to understand how you will add value to the class and enrich the experience of your peers.

Is there anything else about you that is not covered in the application that you would like to share with us?(Optional)

While optional, this question gives you a chance to talk about things you would like the admissions committee to know about you and not captured in the rest of the form. Please avoid repeating information already shared in other parts of the application.
