For the GS Emerging Leaders program essay, based on the most helpful WSO content, it's crucial to strike a balance between professionalism and personal authenticity. While the STAR method can help structure your response, the essay should go beyond a robotic recounting of events. Admissions teams often value personal stories that reveal your character, growth, and how challenges have shaped your approach to problems and interactions with others. For example, you could discuss a challenge that ties into your personal values or professional aspirations, showing how it influenced your development and future goals. The key is to make it genuine, reflective, and thematically consistent with your overall application narrative.
Regarding the program itself, while there isn't specific information in the WSO dataset about last year's participants, programs like these often provide significant exposure and opportunities, such as fast-tracking to superdays. Networking is always a valuable tool, but for programs like this, your resume and essays typically carry significant weight. That said, if you have connections or can reach out to past participants, it could provide additional insights and potentially strengthen your application.

Same. I just did the selection for the business track for IB as soon as I got the email.
