Gyaan on Goals Essay
Some pointers for others who are working on their goals essay:
1. Concentrate more on how, rather than what. "I led a project that saved 10 mil USD" is a very hollow stmt. How you led that project, what challenges did you face, how you overcame those challenges and what you learnt from it is more imp than what you achieved, if its significant enough, you will anyways put it in your resume
2. Cut down on the number of things you talk abt. Most of us have a tendency to talk 9845896345 diff things. snip snip snip! Talk abt 1 or 2 or 3 incidents, bt in detail, refer to the point above.
3. Show fit with the school. Dont write stuff that you can do a "Replace All", for school A with school B and it would still fit in.
This list is obv not exhaustive, it includes points I feel I went wrong with in last yrs essays... Might help the others.
