Indicate that you were laboring under the misapprehension that stating your true goal would lessen your chances of admission, but in the spirit of being completely authentic and transparent you have always actually wanted to go into asset management and that is your goal. I'm sorry you receive this advice, but putting it on the shoulders of the consultant in the application might it sound like you are in the habit of pointing fingers or don't take responsibility for your decisions.

I would recommend making it a small part of your application. The most important thing is to put the emphasis on what's good about you that Business Schools want and you're doing now, and how that connects the dots.

You want a goal that leverages your background but also requires an MBA That's The Sweet Spot.

So I would put it in additional information if possible, if they don't have additional information then the optional section.

Just included for the sake of being complete and transparent, but don't put excessive attention on this. Focus on the positive :-)
