After carefully considering ways to advance my career, I have made the
             decision to apply to the University of Connecticut's part-time MBA program
             with the hopes of obtaining my master's degree in a few years. I am
             certain in my decision to make UConn my school of choice and see this as
             being an ideal opportunity to improve upon my existing knowledge and

             a significant step in moving towards achieving my career goals.

             remain in a thriving area that I am comfortable and familiar with.
             Being accepted to UConn's MBA program would give me the chance to return to
             school and pursue the educational route that I would have liked to have
             followed as an undergraduate. I received a B.S. in marketing, but I soon
             realized after graduating that I would be focusing on trading in financial
             services. With five years of experience working within the industry, I now
             have a strong sense of ...
