Quick Question: I applied for a master program and I got the offer, but I didn’t enroll. Now I want to apply for the MBA program of the same university, can I submit the same essay about why this school (the same as I submit when I applied for the master degree)?
Admissionado Answer: You definitely don’t want to submit the exact same essay for the MBA program. They will look back at your old application, and you don’t want them to think you didn't put any effort into this one. It depends on the school, but you may even have a slightly different question to answer for the MBA vs. Masters application & you want to be sure you’re answering the specific prompt & not copying & pasting an answer to a different question. Even if the question is exactly the same, you’ll want to update your answer since they will be looking back to your old application like I said, and you should have different reasons or goals for applying to the different programs.
