Personal goals and career objectives for MBA study

¶ … Ltr

Having recently graduated from this fine educational institution, I now find myself in a position of applying for acceptance into the MBA program offered by the same university. I enthusiastically submit my name for consideration of that acceptance. Knowing that I will receive the finest education available is one reason why I am submitting my name. I know that the education offered to me through the MBA program will be the finest based on my previous experiences as a student at the University. As a student, my professors and administrators ushered me along a path of growth and enhancement.

My education at the University was not only enhanced by the excellent faculty but I was able to establish long and lasting friendships with other students as well. I was also able to become a member of two college business organizations and served as an officer for the finance association for one of my final semesters there. Through my University experiences I was introduced not only into the professional world in which I sought entry, but into the world of a University family as well. Continuing that experience with acceptance into the same University's Graduate Program is one that I anticipate with great expectations.

After graduating from the University, I was able to take what I had been taught, return home to Africa and begin my career in Finance. As the Finance Officer for a local firm over a three-year period, I was able to assist in the developing and monitoring of real estate pricing and communicating those prices to interested parties. I also prepared and assisted in the preparation of important accounting reports on a regular basis. Accomplishing those professional acts would have been impossible without the education I received at the University.

Now I am ready to take the next step, return to the world of Academia and learn what I need to know to further my career. Ultimately, what I would like to achieve with my MBA is the creation of my own firm. Having gained the knowledge that a Graduate Program at the University would provide me, I could then establish a company that provided a product or service in a timely manner for a fair price to the consumer. Gaining the knowledge necessary to attempt and be successful at that type of endeavor is what I will be striving for while completing my education. Rather than look at other institutions, I would much rather return to the environment in which I was first successful, would provide me with the most complete program, and would offer me the advantage(s) necessary to live a successful life.
