Yang, please consider revising your essay to cover the prompt in a more proper manner. The essay is not asking you to discuss your plans after you graduate, it is asking you for the reasons that you decided to seek admission to the University of Albany. I do not believe it will do your essay any good to be saying that part of your decision making process was based upon the Youtube videos that you watched. It makes it seem like you did not consider the more serious aspects of college life when you put it across that way. You need to convince the admissions officers that you decided to try for admission because of the academic capacity of the university which you feel you will not be getting if you continue to stay on at Southeast Missouri State University. Consider this a statement that allows you outline the reasons why you want to switch universities. Discuss the academic and social benefits of UA when compared to your current university. More importantly, tell the admissions officer of your academic goals, what you hope to achieve upon graduation, that only UA can provide for you. That does not mean you should tell them about your plan to work for your aunt. The information you should present should pertain to your academic desire for learning in Accounting. Possibly naming some research project or mentor programs, maybe even possible internship assistance, that does not exist at the university you are currently enrolled in.
