Blog Archive Monday Morning Essay Tip Staying Above the Fray Although many MBA programs are interested in hearing about your international experiences, they are fundamentally uninterested in your personal views on “hot” global political issues. Even when an admissions committee directly challenges you to discuss current events or global politics, you must take care to offer a point of viewnot a scathing manifesto. No clear rules exist as to what you should discuss, but as you consider ideas, “knowing your audience” is of the utmost importance. Never take risks by discussing an economic, political, social or cultural idea that an “average person” might find extreme.
