I feel like you are required to know exactly what you want to do when writing applications. How did your career goals change once you got to campus?
Essays/interviews: career change narratives are normal, just don't be insane (i.e. check the career reports for the respective schools).
Reality: do whatever you want; ultimately the job you're in post-MBA is a negotiation between what you want, and what the world gives you - and both tend to shift over time or even suddenly
Happens all the time, don't worry about it.
