Hello everyone, seeking suggestions on how to approach the goals essay for Terry. Out of all the schools I am applying to, only Terry has asked to write about "Tell us about yourself and describe your short- and long-term career goals in 400 words."
Others were straightforward Why MBA, Goals and Why school. I was relying solely on Clearadmit's essay analysis for writing. However, they don't have that for Terry.
1) How would you recommend I structure this essay?
2) Is it advisable to write about Why I chose Terry too?
3) By asking about ourselves, are they asking, "What motivated me to get an MBA?" or "What is my background and how does it relate to my career goals"?
Hello
rnp7,
Hope this finds you well.
You will need to include a bit about your background (professional + academic) and then link it to why you wish to pursue the goals that you do want to pursue. How Terry will help you pursue these goals will be important to include as well.
With regard to your third question, essentially the answer to both questions is the same; however, if you feel that there is a difference, the latter is what you need to answer i.e. your background and how it relates to your goals.
All the best!
