Grammar nazis needed

Is it grammatically correct to say:

"My goal is to potentially get an MBA"?

Splitting an infinitive ("to get" is split by "potentially") is probably not as objectively wrong as people once thought it was, but people still frown on it sometimes

Either way it's not really sensible to say "potentially" when you've already said it's your goal. Your goal isn't to potentially achieve your goal. Your goal is to get an MBA. You may get one, potentially. But your goal is to get one.

Thank you.
English is not my native language.
How would I concisely express the fact that it might be eventually my terminal goal, but I am not sure at this point?

Perhaps if you are not set on getting an MBA as a goal, you could say, "A career path I've considered is to get an Mba" or something along those lines

nah, "potentially, my goal is to get an MBA"

also i assume by "MBA" you meant NBA" short for (national basketball asociation), cuz MBA isn't a word lol bad spelling you have there buddy ;)

so then : "potentially, my goal is to get an NBA"

don't know what u mean buy that but the grammar is good now ;)

This, maybe a change in language is best

>I am currently planning to pursue an MBA, [but this may change based on .. etc.]

Erm... MBA = Master of Business Administration degree

no

he's fucking with you lad

Goals are unavoidably potential unless they represent a sports stat. Ergo 'potentially' is redundant.

Oh, I wonder how he wandered off away from Yea Forums
XD

>Gerund...

Most people, even professionals dont fallow this rule. Which is famously broken by star trek.

I dumbed down my actual sentence for privacy reasons. It originally lists a set of solid goals that I definitely want to pursue and ends with a goal I really want to attain, but it might not be possible due to constraints. That's the semantics I am after.

The word 'culminate' may interest you.

Yea Forums is 90% shitposting bro

It's not a gerund. The planning of... is a gerund but I am planning... is present imperfect.
Yes, but as user says here it is redundant. It also suggests that your goals are fickle and often change.
>My current ambition is to acquire an MBA
does not suggest an inevitable achievement, and also suggests you are dedicated and have a broader vocabulary.

If I want to say:

"...to **ultimately** acquire an MBA"

how do I say it correctly without splitting an infinitive?

95% percent of phrases in grammar questions should have drastically different compositions. if you have to ask, youre failing at an ordering of words that you shouldnt have attempted in the first place. if it looks or sounds off it's telling you to kill it, not heal it. be an abortionist

Put the ultimately before the to in its own clause if you're worried about split infinitives, but it's not really something to worry about. It sounds natural to say "to ultimately acquire" and you'd need to be a true grammar nazi to note it. If you really want to suck up on stylistic points, check out what the college uses as its style guide and adhere to that.

I think you should use eventually instead of potentially because your goal is concrete. I'm not sure but my intuition on word choice is usually pretty good.

I came too late that's better word choice

Okay there I found it c:
