How to read these
Most listings include a personal statement. Some also carry the why-school supplements a business program asked for, which are the ones applicants find hardest to draft, because the school is asking about fit while the student is trying to prove drive.
Read for the opening. Ambition is easy to announce and hard to show, and the first two sentences usually tell you which one an essay is doing.
