Video Essay & Written Essay

In the “Documents” section of the “Program Materials” portion of the application, respond to two video essay questions and one written essay question to help us get to know you better.

Video Essay
We know that you are more than what’s on paper. During the online application process, all MS in Management Studies candidates are asked to submit a video essay, which allows us to get to know you on a more personal level.
Within the “Documents” section of the “Program Materials” portion of the application, you will find your personalized link to the video essay website. Clicking this link will bring you to the Kira Talent website, our partner for the video essay process. When you register, you must use the same email address that you used to create your admission application account.
Upon creating your account with Kira Talent, you can begin your video essay. You’ll need to use an internet-connected computer with a webcam and microphone, a smartphone, or a tablet. The prompt for the video essay is: “Why are you looking to obtain an MS in Management Studies from Questrom? How do we fit into the plan for your short term?”
You’ll have 30 seconds to prepare, and then 60 seconds to record your answer. You can practice an unlimited number of times with Kira Talent’s example questions, but once you start the formal video essay question, you are only allowed one opportunity. This allows the committee to see your candid responses.
ESSAY
We want your video essay recording process to be as easy as possible. As such, we encourage you to dress in business casual attire – no need for a suit. The admission committee will review your response as part of the application process, and are interested in your presence, personality, and fit with our community. We recommend trying out a few of the sample Kira questions prior to recording your formal video essay.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY:

Candidates who have earned or will have completed at least two years of a bachelor’s or master’s degree at an institution in which the language of instruction was solely based in English are eligible for an automatic TOEFL/IELTS/PTE waiver. Candidates must present evidence of language of instruction with the application for admission. Appropriate documentation includes a transcript coversheet, an official statement from the university, or a link to the institution’s website that specifies that the mode of instruction is English. Additionally, candidates who have or will have worked for at least two years in a full-time, post-bachelor’s degree position in the US are eligible for an automatic waiver. If you do not meet this criteria but would like to be considered for a waiver, you can submit a written request highlighting your experience with and proficiency in the English language to msms@bu.edu prior to the submission of your application. The Admissions Committee will consider these requests on a case by case basis. If you are submitting test results with your application, please be advised that tests are valid for two years.
TOEFL: BU’s TOEFL code is 3087. Minimum Scores of 600 on the PBT or 90 on the iBT are recommended.
IELTS: A student must score a minimum of 6.5 across each band.
PTE: As more candidates submit the PTE, we are developing updated standards for our requirements. As new information becomes available, it will be posted here.

UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES:
We require that applicants hold a four-year bachelor’s degree from an accredited US institution or its international equivalent. If you have earned a three-year degree that is the equivalent of a four-year degree in the US, it will be accepted in the admissions process. For example, if you earned a three-year degree in India, your degree will qualify you to be considered for admission. If you are uncertain whether your undergraduate degree meets our qualifications, please contact msms@bu.edu before starting the application process.
