In @ MIT Sloan [2012-04-03] and In @ Ross with $$ + 面試經驗

raiy

After 2 years of application, I am in a happy dilemma now...
In @ MIT, In @ Ross with half tuition scholarship (reapplicant) and WL @ Tuck

Female in HK, Gmat 760, T: waived, 3 years IB, 1 year IM and 1 year entrepreneur
Career goal: No specific goal honestly. I just want to explore outside finance industry. Tech/ecommence has been one of my personal passion. Strategy is another area I want to get involved. After two years of MBA, I am planning to return HK/China.

I like the close-knit and college town culture, so I believe two years @ tuck & ross will be wonderful. But WL@tuck means a slim chance to get in. Ross MBA's career stats are getting less impressive these few years. They also canceled non-cosigner loan for international students. Though I got a half ride scholarship, financing remains a big problem to me.

I know MIT is a great school with strong brand name. Ironically, I have not done enough research on this school before applying. I heard that most classes are opened to all schools, including undergrad. It makes me a little concern on the real MBA experience. But for sure that MIT will open many doors I want to explore. It would be great if anyone could share your knowledge on MIT, i.e. classroom experience, alumni network in Asia (i.e. helpfulness) etc..

Appreciate if you could share your view with me....
1) Ross half ride vs MIT?
2) asking Ross for full scholarship (I might try as I believe many international students will drop off this year) vs MIT
3) Tuck (will fly to the campus to fight for an admission) vs MIT?

Thanks all in advanced!!!

面經經驗 : 其實我的面經經驗可能對大家參考性不高, 因為面官都是對我的創業故事問了很多問題, 所以沒有什麼typical questions.

MIT Sloan (in Mar-2012)
在預備 MIT 面試, 我一直參考 clearadxxt 的題目, 預備了好幾個新故事, 但最後在45 分鐘的面試中, admission officer 一直對我的創業經驗很感興趣, 我帶了自己設計的產品去面試, 他就不斷的把玩我的產品, 甚至連我的製作成本也了解一下. 很有趣的面試, 可恨我在之前的面試沒有把我的產品帶去....

Ross (in Dec-2011)
在校友office 面的, 他已畢業了很久, 十分down to earth, 除了問了很多創業故事的問題, 他一直引導我真正why MBA 的原因, 我最後說我只想見識更多, 他跟著說他十分認同. 記得上年我interview 犯了一個大問題是我career goal 沒有跟essay 配合好.... 我相信是reject 的最大原因

Tuck (in Nov-11)
其實我很失望我只有wl... 我跟amy 談得很開心, 甚至我們還講到一個共同認識的tuck alumnus 的讀書趣事.... 老實說, 題目已不太記得了, 但肯定也是clearadxxt 可找到 的問題.

希望可幫到大家

big cong! From my point of view, Tuck would be the best place for you if you can get a chance, although the location is~~
Except for that, I vote for MIT. ROSS really dispointed many applicants this year, cancelling loan means alot beyond money.
Anyway, here is my 2 cents! enjoy the happy pre-MBA time

去对你来说经济条件范围内能承受的最好的学校，如果你自己能承受的了MIT，那就去。

每个人经济承受能力不一样，看楼主自己了

如果如你所说，你将来要回到亚洲发展，肯定是MIT。关于本科生上MBA的课，这个我真的觉得不是问题。本来就是一个相互学习的过程。

吐槽下，如果Ross给我半奖/全奖，我就从了。当然这个是因为我自己的特殊情况。爱你的你不爱，你爱的不爱你。。。
