So as i'm writing up my goals essay, I realized the emphasis that Chicago places on personal goals. The first essay states "Describe your personal and professional goals" and the resume sections states "the expanded resume is designed to give us a more comprehensive view of your professional and personal life at various stages of your career. Our hope in requiring this
additional information is to get a snapshot of who you are at various stages of your professional and personal development."
This seems slightly different from other apps that looks mostly on the professional angle for the goals essay. Perhaps this is a trap for those who rehashed other essays without any emphasis on the personal aspect? regardless, this puts a new twist to what I thought would be a straight forward essay. writing about personal goals can be very broad and can risk going off on tangents.
ditto
I put in personal goals but it goes against the whole grain of the essay. How exactly can you explain that your MBA will help your personal goals?
What if my personal goal is to open some student club at Chicago GSB? Does it even count? How does an MBA help?
Or is this question trying to ask for community involvement and one's humane side
I am confused on this one.
