Professional Objectives:.
Upon graduation from the ----- school, I plan on staying in banking, my goal is to progress to senior level management and further become the CEO of my own company. My short-term post-MBA goal is to remain at COMPANY X and continue developing my general management skills while working in an intellectually challenging environment. I plan on using these opportunities to gain a greater understanding of the banking markets. In the long term, I plan on starting my own real estate investment trust and real estate development company. An MBA will have enabled me to accomplish both of these goals. In sum, I am applying to SCHOOL X because of its integrated curriculum, its focus on ethics and honor, and its impressive community of students and faculty.
Past Experience:.
Until the time I decided to go back to community college, there were two main stages of academic and personal growth which were significant in my life. The first was attending college directly after high school. The second was returning to school after working for three years.
I decided to attend college directly after high school to become a ------ despite the fact that I had a keen interest in real estate and banking. After pursuing schools that offered ------ programs, I attended the University of ---------, as it was one of five schools at the time that had a reputable ----- program. I attended this university for a year. It was during this time that I realized my interests were stronger for real estate and banking.
I returned home and attended ----- University. While attending ------, and taking courses in general studies I decided it would be better for me to take some time off, figure out exactly what it was that I wanted to do and pursue it.
