Duke essay

大家帮忙出个主意啊！

Duke 11月12日就deadline了，essay还没写出来，怎么办啊？是不是得放弃第一轮申请了？是不是第一轮比第二轮申请要机会大很多啊，如果是传统pool来的申请人。

Duke第一篇essay是问 why MBA的，可是问的比较奇怪，大家看看该怎么回答啊：

Essay 1
Describe your vision for your career, your inspiration for pursuing this career path, and the role of The Duke MBA in achieving your goals. If you are interested in a specific concentration or joint degree program, please discuss in this essay.

到底什么是vision啊？这个essay需要把short-term和long-term都说出来吗？还是只是笼统的说一下呢？

大家出出主意，多谢啦。

I think the vision for your career refers to your futur career path, or to be more easily comprehensible, your career goals...

对，不过他没有specify是短期还是长期的，所以我是否只需要写一个未来的目标，不一定要有很明确的时间段吧？

另外现在是不是赶不上第一轮了啊。。。

I think you should adress both long and short term career goals... It seems to me not convincing if you speak of only one.
