Hi,
I'm applying to the Langone part-time program at Stern.
I have questions about essay 2 which basically asks why you want to do an mba on a part-time basis.
1. Is it ok to say something to the effect of my employers love me and they're sponsoring me? That is part of why I want to do an MBA, but do ad coms frown on such mercenary motivations? The point I want to make by including this information is, my employers must really see potential in me to make such a big investment - which means I must be really good.
2. Is it ok to say that with the part-time MBA, I don't forego my salary, so it is much easier financially? I'm wary for 2 reasons - it's obvious and it's honest, but not in the best way.
Please let me know your opinions.
Thanks very much!
