What industry do you want to go to? Start there. Your story doesn’t need to be your actual story, just something that makes sense and something that you back up in interviews and sounds good to admissions committees. If everyone did their stated goal/story, we’d have 50% of the class go into non profits, impact investing, and clean energy but instead we have most go to so called “evil” companies.

D1 got it, and the "makes sense" part just needs to tie with your background, extracurricular, or noteworthy experience

Appreciate the honesty lol
