Does anyone have access to sample goals essays? All schools pretty much require the goals essay and at the schools I'm applying to, it is the longest essay required. But for me, 750 words seems like quite a lot to write about...
I'm just looking for ways to structure the essay, what kinds of things to talk about, level of specificity, etc.

Typically essays are broken down into Career progression, Short term Goal, Long Term Goal, Why XXX school. I personally try to make it 1/3 Career Progression, 1/3 Goals, 1/3 Why XXX school. Some schools you don't really need to mention why XXX in the goals essay.

I have that book ("Great Application Essays for Business Schools") sitting in front of me and I am using it as a template guide for all my essays. I definitely recommend it.
