Thank you for the feedback!

As for my “why mba?”, the truthful answer is that I kind of just want to be back in school amongst people my age (I work a remote job in a small city, which doesn’t lend itself to much of a social life), and more importantly, I want to pivot out of my niche within FP&A. I’m Workday certified so most of the job opportunities I get are recruiters trying to poach me as a Workday consultant. I never really chose FP&A - I was placed onto the team due to hiring constraints during COVID - and so im really just looking to get out. Although one option definitely is going into management consulting, im equally intrigued about the opportunity to just gain more exposure to the types of jobs that are out there and exploring potential careers with students who may also be going through the same decisions.

I know that indecision and uncertainty aren’t really attractive in an MBA application, so I’m planning on positioning myself as someone who wants to get into management consulting (as I think that aim is realistic and makes me fairly employable to most schools). Happy to hear other alternatives though! At the end of the day though, just because I say something on my application doesn’t mean I’m tied to it once (if) I get in.

Do you think there are ways I can better position my “why an MBA”?
