Supplemental Questions
  1. Kelley School of Business Essays
    • 1. Community Engagement and Leadership -- Kelley students contribute in many ways to what has long been recognized as a rich community of diverse ideas, cultures, and experiences. Identify your most significant contribution to one or more of the communities to which you belong. (Communities, for example, can form around shared experiences in volunteering, community service, music, sports, the arts, culture, ethnicity, shared beliefs, or ideas.) Describe your level of achievement or involvement and reflect on your most important contributions. Briefly describe how these experiences have influenced you. (200-400 words, up to 8000 characters)
    • 2. Analytical Writing -- The Kelley Scholarship Review Committee considers this analytical essay to be very important and places special emphasis on your choice of topic, writing style, research ability, critical thinking skills and objectivity. Please submit an original essay of approximately 600 words on a topic of special interest or concern to you which thoughtful people could disagree. We encourage you to choose a topic which reflects your own intellectual interests. Consider a topic that has not been explored in your high school courses. Your thesis should be supported with persuasive and concrete evidence, and you should cite all sources. We have provided a few suggestions below, but these need not limit your choice or your creativity. (300-600 words, up to 8000 characters)
