Karen’s Essay Analysis （个人观点仅供参考，转载请注明出处）

Short answer question
典型career goal essay，简单直接，学校连范例都提供了，无需多言。

Impact essay
这道沿用了第三年的题乍一看挺绕的，其实简单来说就是why school + contribution，只不过这两条思路应该并行。换句话说，

要解释清楚why Johnson fits my path and plan。学校一些令你感兴趣的东西，应该是和你的过去有关的，也会是以后你将积极参与其中的。比如，Johnson实战机会是令我心动（决定申请）的主要原因之一。某年某月某日在某地参加coffee chat的时候，跟某同学聊到他在Cayuga Fund的经历，这让资管出身的我非常兴奋，未来如果有幸被选中，我将会担任XX角色，结合这几年的XX经历和insights帮助提高fund的运作performance。

Back of your resume essay
这道题从经典的Life Book Table of Contents演变而来，一样非常有创意，我个人非常喜欢。乍一看可能像新题，但实际上expect的内容是差不多的，甚至说得更明确：

我们不要那些简历上已有的学习和工作经历，我们想了解更多的你！学校鼓励你think creatively，当然，这并不意味着你可以完全不管别人是否会appreciate，就放上一大堆不知所云的材料比如童年照片，而没有表达出一个key message。时刻谨记这是用来sell你自己、说明MBA candidacy的文章/presentation。
