Would like to seek some views on the short-term and long-term goal essay questions :
Did you include reasons why Emory is a good fit for you in these 2 questions? I have clear reasons why I wanna go to Emory but there are no questions in this year's application that allows applicants to explain those reasons. Hence, I am wondering if it makes sense to talk about those reasons in the goals questions, which at 150 word limit, do call for very precise, focused writing. Hope to get some advice here.
Thanks guys.
The Goizueta essays do call for very focused writing, I think. I brought up some specifics about my fit with Emory in the "why an MBA at this time" and the "what impact do you hope to have as a Goizueta Business School student" essays. I wish I had more time to write about the Goizueta fit in my short-term/long-term essays, but as you say, those are very short. I didn't feel like I could add anything of value about Emory in a sentence to those, so I mostly focused on clearly describing where I wanted to go with my career.
Not saying this is the right approach, just sharing where I ended up. Full disclosure: I still haven't heard whether I was selected for an interview, so I hope you can find a message that knocks their socks off from the start.
