Learn how to best tackle essays that ask about your career plans and your reasons for pursuing an MBA.

+ Lesson Notes

The single most popular essay question across most MBA programs is about your post-MBA goals. Within that question, you might be asked: why MBA, why now, why school X, what are your short- term goals and what are your long-term goals.

We discuss how these sub-questions are related and the importance of addressing each element, even with schools that only ask some of those questions.
