So I was browsing around online, looking for tips on how to effectively answer MBA questions, and came across this:
https://www.mbadepot.com/content/31/What interested me was the following: "c. Have a worthwhile future: Faced with applicants who have equivalent grades and GMATs, the admissions committee will promote those who are on a unique, interesting, worthwhile career mission. You may have to work hard to polish up whatever dullness or omissions lurk in your past, but your aspirations are safely ahead of you where no committee can verify them. So don't hesitate to project yourself into valuable, distinctive roles. "
It got me thinking: what if, in absolutely reality, your career goal is to just move into, lets say, strategy consulting, and work for a specific employer in a specific practice ? Will the adcoms consider this to be 'dull' ? I mean, I'd hate to think that in order to impress adcoms, I need to come up with something grander and bigger in scope, because then Im pretty much lying, and we know thats a big no-no in essays.
Thoughts ? Did any of you folks ever think your post-mba goals were too dull ?
