I have a question about the application section under "Motivation and Goals". There are two questions:
What is your short-term career goal? (250 word max)
What is your long-term post-MBA goal? (250 word max)
These are non-essay questions, and are short answer questions. I am wondering whether most people get close to the 250 word max, or put a simple answer of a few sentences. I feel like I could succinctly answer these in 2-3 sentences each and be < 100 words, but I could also put a lot more background to get closer to the max if they are looking for a more detailed response. I was surprised they give you this much room, because that's pretty close to the essay lengths (300 and 400 words).
Any thoughts on these questions and the level of detail in response?
Not sure about others but my plan is to keep it between 150 to 175 words in my application.
