Editor's notes

Two money dates sit before the priority deadline. The scholarships page lists Feb. 1 for ELMBA merit and Ignatius Grant consideration, and the admissions page gives March 1 as the priority date. Aim for a complete file by Feb. 1. And attend an information session first: it waives the $60 fee.
About 200 words is short. Loyola says the essay covers your personal and professional goals for the program, so skip the life story. Name the goal, say why an MBA now rather than after a few years of work, and tie it to something specific, like the required internship or the field studies.
This program is built for people with little or no work experience, and it says it judges leadership potential through your personal statement and references. Choose recommenders who can speak to leadership in a team, a job or a club. At least one has to be academic.
The interview is required, not optional. Prepare two or three short examples of leading or working in a team, and be ready to explain why a one-year cohort program fits you better than working first.
