If you could host a dinner party and invite any four people, either living or dead, whom would you invite and what would the five of you discuss together?

Required Essay 2

Describe how your experience, both professional and personal, has led you to the decision to pursue an MBA at Georgia Tech. How does this decision relate to your future career goals? Space is limited to 4000 characters.

Optional Essay

The Admissions Committee believes that the required essays address issues that are important in learning about you and in understanding your candidacy for the MBA program. However, you may provide us with any information pertinent to your admission that has not been covered in the rest of the application.
