CBS\u2019s \u201cWhy do you feel Columbia Business School is a good fit for you?\u201d would be the perfect essay in which this student could talk about their plans to work with Professor X, who specializes in real estate investment vehicles like REITS.<\/p>\n<p>They should also mention how excited they are to take Starting a Business in Emerging Economies with Professor Y in the Entrepreneurship Program.<\/p>\n<p>By zooming in on their plans for specialization during their time at CBS, this candidate has proven that CBS is the best school for his goals and avoided the major mistake of focusing on fundamental courses that they could have learned at any MBA program.<\/p>\n<h3>The Future<\/h3>\n<p>Another important consideration to make when choosing your MBA specialization is the future.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27889\" src=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/mba-specialization-3.jpg\" alt=\"MBA specialization\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/mba-specialization-3.jpg 500w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/mba-specialization-3-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While you can\u2019t predict every new trend and innovation that will happen within your targeted post-graduation industry, you do need to demonstrate in your MBA admissions essays that you have a good understanding of where your industry is heading.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if an applicant to CBS is interested in working at a major healthcare insurance company after graduation, they need to have an understanding of the challenges that the <a href=\"https:\/\/thewebaddicted.com\/health-wellness\/top-health-issues-facing-americans\/\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">healthcare insurance industry<\/a> may be facing in the next decade.<\/p>\n<p>With calls for a single-payer or a nationalized healthcare insurance system growing stronger every year, an MBA applicant looking to become a healthcare insurance executive in the long term will need to communicate that they\u2019ve got plans for learning how to address this challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Choosing the Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Management specialization definitely makes sense in this case, but this hypothetical candidate could also talk about their plans for specializing in Decision, Risk, and Operations, and how they will take specific courses and work with specific professors in order to develop skills that will help them lead the transitions and changes that healthcare insurance companies are likely to face in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Communicating that you\u2019ve thought about the future of your target industry when choosing your specializations not only demonstrates that you\u2019re already an expert in your industry, but it also shows that you\u2019re the kind of person who can think ahead and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebalancecareers.com\/career-pathing-1918080\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">plan for a career trajectory<\/a> several years down the line, which is an essential skill of elite business leadership that MBA adcoms are looking for.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>While every admitted applicant to a top-tier MBA program is going to gain the professional network and essential business management skills they\u2019ll need to become stronger business leaders, choosing the right MBA specializations can elevate MBA students\u2019 profile even further by preparing them with the tailored skills and experiences they\u2019ll need to become innovators and change-makers within their targeted post-graduation industries.<\/p>\n<p>As an MBA applicant, carefully researching and considering your target school\u2019s specializations will prepare you to write about them in your admission essays in a compelling manner.
