: How will the MBA help you achieve them?
Essay 1 Tips. A straightforward "career goals" essay from NYU Stern.
Your past experiences have given you knowledge and understanding and many skills but there is still a 'need-gap' that you want to fulfill before you can reach your goals. Ideally these goals would be beyond the immediate post-MBA goals, they would be part of your career vision. Show that an MBA program from Stern is your means to get to your career vision.
Think about what industry and function you would like to pursue- ideally that should tie in with your longer term career vision so be careful not to write this part of answer in isolation. Make sure your goals are credible, feasible and realistic. E.g. if you are an international student do not write about pursuing entrepreneurial goals in the US without considering immigration related challenges.
