Actually, I am not applying for MBA, but MSF. The question lies on this.
The guide of personal statement tells me that the stated goals need to show very clear direction and purpose.
My question is that do you think that the applicants who apply for a MS program will need do the same to the personal statement? Can I have more general goals?
My problem is that I don't have such a clear and specific goal. I am a Chinese and my major in university is Economics. I learned a lot of theoretical knowledges in university. And my goal to apply for a MSF program is to study some practical things that will help me do a better job in the future. I want to decide my specific field after I go to graduate school and have deeper understanding. There are better teachers and more comprehensive knowledges in America, also I can interact with a lot of foreign people, that may help me get into an international company or someone who help an America company get into the Chinese market.
If I cannot write a a kind of general goal in my essay, can u give me some advises?
In my view, spending a lot time to think about my specific goal in the future will interfere my applying process and also is an impossible mission for me now
Or should I just lie a little bit in my essay?
Thanks in advance.
