michaelcrm Posted January 31, 2005 at 09:33 AM Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 at 09:33 AM One of my friends is applying for a MBA program in US and there is essay requied in the application. The question is: Please detail the five-year plan for your career including the jobs you would like to have, how you would leverage your education, and how you would otherwise prepare yourself for this path. Both of us were confused with the sentece"how you would otherwise prepare yourself for this path" and I don't know how to explain to her in Chinese. My understanding is "if you couldn't utilize this opportunity of education (or if your application was declined), what else would you do to prepare for this path?" But I am not quite sure with that. Anyone has any idea? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcopolo79 Posted January 31, 2005 at 11:09 AM Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 at 11:09 AM Please explain any other preparations you are making to advance your career plan in addition to the MBA degree. 除了被本校的MBA Program錄取之外,請說明您如何籌劃未來的職業計劃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashiriKata Posted January 31, 2005 at 11:27 AM Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 at 11:27 AM I second marcopolo79's interpretation. There are 2 main points to focus on in the essay: education and otherwise. Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Soup Posted February 1, 2005 at 07:36 AM Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 at 07:36 AM I agree with Marco and Hashiri. Although the "otherwise" is a little ambiguous, and could mean either "in addition to" of "instead of", the key clue is "how you would leverage your education", which assumes the applicant WILL receive the (MBA) education he or see is seeking.

xuezhongwen Posted February 5, 2005 at 07:01 AM Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 at 07:01 AM "Otherwise" should be translated simply as "除此之外" or "除此以外", Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
