TRU Gaglardi MBA letter of intent
TRU's Bob Gaglardi School asks MBA applicants for an approximately 250-word letter explaining their education and career plans and ambitions. The letter is an MBA-specific addition to the graduate application, résumé, and transcripts. The school's MEEM and MScEEM applicants instead submit a separate approximately 250-word statement of purpose and two referee forms; those are different program routes.
Writing format
Approximately 250-word letter of intent on education and career plans
What to prepare
- 1Connect the education or work experience that prepared you for business graduate study to one clear reason for pursuing the MBA now.
- 2Explain a plausible career direction and what you hope the program will help you develop, using the short length for decisions and evidence rather than a full résumé recap.
- 3Keep claims about achievements and plans consistent with the résumé and application record.
How to approach the writing
- Choose the MBA route before drafting; do not reuse the MEEM or MScEEM statement-of-purpose instructions for this application.
- International applicants upload required documents with the application. Domestic applicants receive a graduate-admissions email requesting supporting documents after applying.
