到底谁是那些不知名，未曾谋面的人却决定了数千个申请者是否能成为未来的CEO呢？
大部分的申请者以为招生办的人都是那些戴着领带，西装革履的白人男性MBA。事实上并非如此。确实有很多人读过MBA，但有一半以上是女性，从事的职业从文学，人力资源管理到教育都有。
虽然这些人背景相差很大，但都认为诸如品格，动机和纪律（而非技能）这些特点是成功的“引擎”。也就是说，他们关注的是你到底是什么样的人，而非你做过什么。
为什么要知道这些呢？因为你在写个人陈述时，你必须考虑谁是你的听众。招生办的人不一定是你想象中得那样；他们不一定和你一样对商科感兴趣。在商务世界中，他们和你的角色不一样，他们是挑选未来企业家的，而你却是未来的企业家。很多招生办成员拥有MBA，但他们很少有过工作经验。
记住，他们不仅仅是招生办的人，也是某些人的女儿，儿子，母亲，父亲甚至是祖父---也就是说一般的人。你写给你老板的个人陈述和给招生办的人能一样吗？写给商学院的个人陈述应该是以下两方面的结合体：强的商科实体和重的人性特点。
以下是芝加哥大学(University of Chicago)商学院招生办的全体成员：
