Essay 1
Please define your short- and long-term goals and objectives, your career progression to date, and how an MBA fits in at this time. What makes the Texas MBA the perfect fit for you? Please limit your response to two, double-spaced, typed pages.

While the structure is implied in the response, remember to address adequately each of the following five components:

•  Career Progression: Detail your career progression while keeping an eye on your goals and keep your theme limited to the same.
•  Goals (Short Term & Long Term): Be as specific as possible. Your short term goal shall be tangible and direct. Explore school's website or your  contacts within UT Austin to find out exact positions offered at MBA and stick to the same. Further, avoid putting a blanket statement in  your long term goal. If you came up with "I want to be CEO of XYZ Company" you need to think deeper.
•  Why MBA: If you have done good job in the above two section, you must have created a void by now that only a MBA education can fill in. Bring out the specific things you need from MBA that will bring you closer to your goals and this piece shall further your candidacy.
•  Why Now: It is extremely important to bring a crisp argument about why you think now is the right time for you. Don't make the mistake to leave & a gap for Adcom to think that you need another year or two before coming to UT Austin.
•  Why UT Austin: Goes without saying, this aspect is extremely important and will speak volumes about your passion for UT Austin. An ideal  strategy is to connect school's resources - Academic programs, Clubs, and Special programs to your specific needs. Attempt to write a paragraph  with each sentence containing something unique about UT Austin.

As long as your essay addresses each of the above components and you manage to ties the story in single theme, you shall score well. Also, remember to take care of the overall structure of the essay through a short and crisp opening statement and a coherent ending exclamation statement.
