Hi Jon, For the goal essay, how much proportion should be spent on explaining the career progression, and how much on clarifying the career goal/aspiration, and how much on explaining why-MBA and why-School? (For example, 50%, 25%, 25%) Also, should I state the goal at first or after the career progression? I guess it sounds more resonable to place it after, but I'm not sure if placing at the beginning may have an advantage of clarity. Hope to hear your opinions.

Hey there! Well it all depends—each school asks the questions in a slightly different way. Some ask only about your career goals, and others ask about your career progression to date. If they don’t specifically ask about your career progression, you will still wanna talk about it—but make it just one paragraph. If they do ask about your career progression, you can go with more. Generally, we recommend one paragraph on Why MBA. Then, we recommend one paragraph on why Tuck/Haas etc., academically, talking about specific courses, professors, etc. Then, one paragraph on Why Tuck/Haas outside the academics. We cant break it into percentages sadly, but this should give you some guidance. Hope this helps!
