Here's the goal essay for 2009 F/T

1) Describe in a brief essay (do not exceed 250 words per section - 750 words maximum):
a) your post-MBA short-term goals (immediately after graduation)
b) your post-MBA long-term goals (3-5 years after graduation), and
c) how your professional experience, when combined with an MBA degree, will enable you to achieve these goals


Did anyone start it yet? the guideline seems really strict, and restrict the applicant to only write 250 words per section. Did you guys follow this format to the dot? My long term goal is alot more comprhensive to my short term - as my short term is a stepping stone to my long term, I wonder how I can get all this in...

I'll put my ticket in the hat for Marshall this year!

Submitted to R2 today via the Consortium. Forgot to mention the Rose Bowl in my fit essay - is that an automatic ding?

Hi

Can anyone post their Marshall Interview experience..

Thanks

I was just at USC on Saturday for some volunteer work that I do. It was a beautiful, warm sunny day with 75-degree temps. One huge plus for this school is that the student body is arguably among the best in the country. Good luck to those applying!
