Let\u2019s take a closer look at the\nessays:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essay 1: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are your post-MBA goals and how\nwill your prior experience and the London Business School programme contribute\ntowards these? (500 words)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nis a straightforward Goals Essay<\/a>\nquestion. You begin this essay with a statement about your post MBA career\nobjectives. Explain what you plan to do after your MBA. Make sure your career\nobjectives are both ambitious and realistic. Be as specific as you can about\nyour goals and specify the industry, your role, and the companies that interest\nyou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To\ndemonstrate how your professional experiences are aligned with these goals,\nprovide a brief career history focusing on your career progression and the\nskills and knowledge you acquired at each job position. Also, discuss your\nrationale behind each career move and explain how your career so far has\nprepared you for your goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then\ndescribe where you stand now, what skills you lack to fulfill your career\naspirations, and how an MBA from LBS is aligned with your goals. This means\nthat you have to provide a logical connection between your previous experience,\nyour current need for an MBA degree from the LBS, and your future career goals.\nFor this, you will need to do a thorough research of the program so that you\ncan draw out a link between specific resources\/ offerings of the LBS and your\ncareer goals and interests. In addition, reach out to current students and\nalumni to gain their insights about the program and attend admission events to\nlearn more about the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
