牛贴，谢谢lz分享，虽然自己的背景是够不上这样的学校了，鉴赏一下也好

A very good post

berkeley is not as good as it was 10 year ago, both Russ and Tulin moved to nyu. Although the chinese students there had very good placements, I would think it is because of the students' solid background before they went to berkeley. Moreover, I do not think berkeley has preference for its under since their under are way weaker than those of ivy.

BTW, your 0.5 looks very small, but it is actually huge.

Best school is not always the best choice for you. Most chinese students in chicago went to so so school finally.

北大和清华经管系的顶尖本科生是前10名校争相录取的宠儿.
这两个系GPA>3.7, +一点点研究经历, 拿面试一般都问题不大. 所以...对应美国10-20名左右的本科差不多吧.

再问问lz对fit的看法吧，我发现b-school很强调这个（和同类econ相比）。那么这个fit如何定义呢？是背景中的course work、research experience、paper之类的符合对应的系的长处吗（譬如做Internet Marketing之于CMU之类）？或者只要能fit到一两位能advise的教授就可以了？
如果不仅仅是背景，那是否也包括research interest的呢？interest完全可以是cheap talk，又如何能够体现呢？
fit是更强调field（pricing、branding等区分）还是methodology（empirical、theoretical、experimetal）呢？
多谢！

我个人看法:


1. Any strong paper is a big plus  ( top business journals, any subfield).
   Chinese papers...err, no idea. Maybe insignificant.
   Second-tier journal publications/Conference papers are ... better than nothing (may equal strong working papers).
   
But if your published papers do not fit the faculty's expertise, you may want to explain better in the essay why you apply there.


2. "Fit一两位教授."
   Does not work for T10 schools. They want you to address the whole group, not a few professors in particular.
  小/low-rank 学校可能比较喜欢,因为小学校一般是一两个人就能拍板.


3. "Interest is cheap talk."
   这就跟爱情一样. "I love you" is a cheap talk, but true love can always be felt.


4. Method or field
   Both.  But a strong quant background is marginally better than previous experience in the relevant field.
