标题: We are, Penn State!

Hi Chasedreamers,


Once a Chasedreamer, now I am a 2nd year MBA student in Penn State's Smeal College of Business. Seeing more and more Chinese students are interested in Smeal's MBA program, I sensed out a strong need of communicating information between Smeal and prospective students. For an ex-GMAT-taker and a beneficiary of Chasedream like me, this need creates a great opportunity to share my experience and mingle with Chasedreamers again. If you have questions about Smeal College, MBA life or anything else, please feel free to post it here. I will try my best to answer them or direct you to the right resources.


Below is the link to our school webpage, hopefully it will provide you with answers to some general questions.

Good luck in your future endeavor!

我提第一个问题:Smeal专业特色是什么?毕业生工作主要集中哪些行业?


作者: PSU    时间: 2005-9-30 11:08

Hi Jetrong,

Thank you for your interests in Smeal.

The Smeal MBA portfolios include:

Supply chain management is another strength of Smeal. Graduates in this portfolio always have very good placement rate. We just held a supply chain career fair in Sept. The recruiters include: American Airlines, IBM, Bristol-Myer-Squibb,Kraft,JnJ,Merck,Pfizer... I have pasted the link to the full list of recruiting companies below in case you want to explore more at this topic.

Product and market development portfolio in Smeal mainly focus on B2B marketing. Institute for the Study of Business Markets (ISBM) is influential in global B2B marketing world. We have Smeal alumni work in marketing in companies like IBM, Chevron,DuPont, Honeywell,3M....

请介绍一下PSU所在的University Park的一些情况吧。比如什么地理位置,气候,生活等等。
作者: PSU    时间: 2005-10-2 01:59

CHAOS,好问题!


PSU所在的城市叫STATE COLLEGE,不管人们习惯把校园称为UNIVERSITY PARK.STATE COLLEGE位于宾州中部,离费城或者匹兹堡差不多都是两三小时车程. STATE COLLEGE有自己的机场,不过机票比从大机场飞要贵$150-200,所以一般地,同学都会坐车或者开车去费城/匹兹堡.


气候嘛,我觉得算是典型的东北部气候,春秋短,冬夏长,尤其是冬天,从11月到来年3-4月.据说去年的冬天不算厉害,不过一夜之间积雪能到3英寸已经让我很长见识了. 温度最低能到零下20度的样子,可主观感受并没有什么,毕竟在室外的时间不长,所以即使有同学是海南岛来的也不要怕.


生活方面,我觉得挺方便的.MALL和SUPERMARKET都很齐备,商品种类和样式当然不能和大城市比,不过对与学生来说是足够了,而且少点雪拼的诱惑还能保存钱包的实力.( 希望老婆不要看到) 中国同学采买家乡菜的商店主要有两个,规模和西岸的大超市没法比,但货物也算齐备,不会让你觉得巧妇难为无米之炊.PSU还是一个出名的PARTY SCHOOL,我想主要是因为本科生很多.每到周末,COLLEGE AVE.上就人满为患,每间酒吧里都挤满了人. MBA学生有自己比较固定的聚会场所,平时大家去联络感情或者放松一下,遇有逢年过节的,各社团组织也会组织活动. 这里课余生活的另一个重要项目是TAILGATE,每逢周末,全校学生加上附近居民,在足球场外,聚餐畅饮,海聊海侃. 第一次见到那一望无际的停车场,看到平生见到的最大规模的宴会的时候,我觉得这最高可达10+万人规模的场景确实是令人叹为观止.


今天先说这么多,我要下了. 如果你还有问题,我们下次再讨论.白白.


作者: chaos    时间: 2005-10-2 13:45

To keep it fair to all applicants, Smeal hopes to see essays about the same length, i.e. 1-page long. To answer your questions, yes, you can use single-space. Hope this helps!

essay题目是什么?


在申请网页上就能看到。在这儿贴一下:

必写:

1.  Discuss your short- and long-term career goals. How do you see the Smeal College MBA degree assisting you in attaining these goals

2.  We all have our own “defining moments” in our personal history: times when we made a choice that affected the future direction of our lives. Describe a decision you have made that has proven to be a turning point in your career/personal life. If you had made a different choice at that time, how might your life be different?

选择:

3.  Donald Trump recently published a book “The Best Business Advice I Ever Received.” It is a compilation of business advice received by successful business men and women. What is the best business advice you have ever received? How has it impacted your professional experience and career?


or



4.  If you did not have to work for a living, how would you choose to spend your time? Why?



BTW, PSU的申请网页挺难找的,不在how to apply,在early acceptance里。


作者: PSU    时间: 2005-10-6 11:25

Thanks, Chaos! I hope you have good time with those essay topics.

Shouyang12, hope you will find the topics by following Chaos' direction. GPA is not the only standard our admission officers use to screen applicants, so please don't feel bad about your GPA. As for the eligibilities for the scholarship, to be honest with you, I don't know if there's an existing on-the-shelf standard. I know some scholarship receipients in my class and their profiles are all different,some have longer working experience, some have higher GMAT scores,.... In general, outstanding working and academic history and a solid career plan will make you a strong scholarship candidate. I know I may not answer your questions as specific as you wanted, and the answer may sound diplomatic, but this is what I truly feel. Lastly, I believe "Value" is a magic word in the application process. If you can demostrate the value a Smeal MBA will bring to you and the value you will be able to add to Smeal program, you will be in a very good shape. Good luck!

frtang,

Please see the information I copied for you. I believe your GMAT score and working history are strong, and a 600+ TOEFL score will make your profile very competitive. Any other questions? Good luck!

The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is required of all applicants whose native language is not English. International candidates who have not received a degree from a U.S. college or university must earn a score of 600 or better on the paper-based TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or 250 on the computer-based TOEFL. Scores must be sent directly to the Smeal College MBA office. (code 2660)


作者: 水蓝27    时间: 2005-10-10 13:57

请问PSU,我的TOEFL是2003年8月考的,分数是达到了,620,但是已经过期几个月了,这样的情况应该怎么办?有可能跟学校商量免去重考吗?


刚考完GMAT,现在要开始写ESSAY了,实在觉得时间不够~~~~


谢谢了!


作者: PSU    时间: 2005-10-11 03:43
Hmmmmmmmmmm...... Unfortunately, I believe TOEFL is not waivable for Chinese students with no US degrees.If ETS doesn't pass the TOEFL score older than 2 years, I guess you will have to take TOEFL again most likely. I feel sorry about that.

What is the placement for Class of 2005?

以下是引用Vodka在2005-10-13 12:45:00的发言:

What is the placement for Class of 2005?


I don't think the 05 statistics has been released. However you can go to http://www.smeal.psu.edu/mba/stats.html to see 04 statistics. Generally speaking, 05 placement was much better than that of 04.

I believe the viewers of this discussion care more about the placement for students from mainland China. In 05 Class, the placement distribution is as following:

3 supply chain management

1 b2b marketing

1 corporate finance

1 accounting

2 corporate finance (Beijing)

1 go for PHD

1 I don't have information

Most of the employers for above students are Fortune 500 companies.

Is the info good enough for you? Should you have more questions, please let me know. Take care!

Hi Vodka, I don't have statistics for the internship distribution for class of 2006. Generally speaking, the percentage of students who secured at least one internship was higher than that of last year. For Chinese students specifically, everyone has an internship (if my memory serves me right). The major areas for intern hiring are finance and supply chain, almost 50-50.

美国学生有WORKING EXPERIENCE<2年的, 不过大陆来的同学好象一般有4/5年经验. 学校怎么看的? 我想当然是越长越好咯, 对学校排名有贡献嘛,当然这也不是铁板一块,如果其他方面都挺好的话,短一点的工作经历也无妨. 祝 好运!

学校强调学生来源的多样性,这是肯定的,班级里大部分同学有商业背景,其他的同学有的原来是教师,有的是记者,有的来自非盈利组织, 医生好象还没有听说过, 也许做医生已经够好,就不想再念书了吧.

Thank you for your information first. I want to do career change and now is interested in finance. ( not sure corp finance or IB ) But you know, I am from IT and have no b/g on this field, though I am being studied the heavily-technically BS formula and term-structure models(HJM, BGM etc). In addition, I believe, before enrollment, I can have part knowledge of finance. Based on this information, could you tell me how possible to have career change successfully and how? If possible, provide me some successful cases around you. MFE is one way. However, here I just want to know MBA way. BTW, could you give PSU's financial aid information? Thank you very much.

I believe career change is something case by case. MBA degree can never  GUARANTEE a success in this regard.But I believe it's fair to say that with an MBA degree, a career change is more possible.


I've seen cases of career change. Someone enters finance field with no previous finance background, even no business ground. To be honest with you, I found the requirement for relative experience is less strict for finance jobs than for other jobs.

The average W/E for class entering in 2005 is 5 years. Mid-range GMAT is 720-560. I think you have a very competitive profile. If you can raise your GMAT score to over 700, I feel the chances of receiving financial aid will be larger. Good luck with your test! +U+U

坦白讲, 除了学供应链的同学外,一般的MBA学生对MMM不是很了解, 比如我. 我在学校网站上看了一下,也帮你问了一下, 希望下面的信息对你有用.

1,这个专业要求工程,技术的背景. 就这点来说, 你以前的专业是很吻合的.

2,要求有一定的工作经验, 最好是生产制造行业的经验. 不过每年班上都会有应届的本科毕业生,所以入学前的实习也是可以被认做工作经验的.

3,如果你申请MBA的话, 可以在第二年开始攻读MMM,毕业时你会得到两个学位. 这样你在生产制造的企业里就很受欢迎了.

Hi,

1, As far as I know, almost all Chinese graduates from SMEAL got jobs in US if they determined to do so. The job market in US this year is better than that of previous years, so I believe it will be even easier to secure a  job. An important trend in most recent years for MBA's from China was to go back China. Many feel that they would develop themselves faster in fast growing China. Another point of doing so was to avoid glass ceilings of career development.

2, SMEAL remains in Top 50 according to most of important rankings. Disadvantage? I don't think so. Yes, SMEAL's strength in supply chain is well-known. However, that is not the only shining point. SMEAL's finance and marketing are strong too.

3, Supply chain is comparatively new to China's industries, so knowing more in SCM will provide you with more competitive advantage. Is supply chain a good portfolio to devote to? I believe the answer will be based on your own choice. Do you want a career in SCM or not?

I hope this response answered your questions. If you have further questions, please post them here. I will try my best to answer them. Good luck!

Penn State!


To be honest with you, SMEAL's finance is really strong, although it may not match those big name top schools. The faculties are very knowledgable and have strong experience in both academics and businesses. You can find alumni and employers in almost every parts of U.S., especially in Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. I feel what we learnt here in finance is really really solid and that will surely prepare SMEAL graduates well enough to start new careers. If you are looking for big names, SMEAL may not be a right place for you. (I believe one day it will be one of the big names too.)As wise finance people, we should comapre ROIs. And SMEAL is the place that offers great ROI.


As for the second year tuition, if you are paying out state tuition in first year, you will pay out state tuition in second year too. Good luck!

Orangekitty,

这两天有点忙,现在才回答你的问题,不好意思。

我是两年前面试的,但据我对学校的了解,面试问的问题应该变化不大。以下是我认为很有可能问到的问题。

1,  Why MBA?

2,  Why Penn State?

3, 用实例来说明你在以前工作学习中展示的领导能力。

4,你是怎么认识团队精神的。举一个你在团队中成功工作的例子。

5,你取得的最大成就是什么。

6,你认为自己最大的弱点是什么。

7,你的职业发展规划是怎样的. 5年以后/10年以后

大概就是这类的问题,很BEHAVIOR BASED,如果你在中国的话,多半是电话面试,半个小时到45分钟,气氛应该不紧张,面试前把自己的简历和ESSAYS多看几遍,不要让面试官觉得他/她比你还熟就行了。嘿嘿。。。

Dear PSU,



I intend to apply for MBA of your school this year. When I review application materials I have some questions, could you help clarify:



  • Per Financial statement, I have bought a house in China, can the copy of real estate ownership certificate be a finanicial statement proof?
  • I am preparing for on line submission, I want to know if some off -line documents like financial statement or official GMAT/TOEFL score sheet are nesessary before deadline. I am now asking bank and ETS to prepare the documents to send SMEAL, I cannot promise if they can arrive just before Dec 1st. If they are late for the deadline, will SMEAL still accept my application as round 1?   

Your answer will be highly apprecaited.  



hi,


1, I believe real estate ownship certificate will not be considered as a financial statement by the shool. But it's helpful to show your bond to home country when you interview with visa officers.


2, I think as long as the online application package is done by Dec.1, you will be considered as Round 1. I will ask our admissions managers and come back to you.By the way, I didn't see you mention your transcript and recommendations. When you send out the package, don't forget them please.


作者: fbap0117    时间: 2005-11-24 15:12

PSU,


Thanks a lot for your clarification. I will complete all necessary information on line except off line financial statement. Hope it will not impact my application process.


BTW:  When I requested my TOEFL/GMAT score report through ETS, I filled in department code 00 for undergraduate program not 02 for management school. Is it a big problem?


Thanks again for your help on this.

Our code is 2660. If you filled in this one, I think you are OK. Meanwhile, you can check your status on our online application system.

Good luck!

PTU, Kindly help with the two following questions!


1. "By the way, I didn't see you mention your transcript and recommendations. When you send out the package, don't forget them please. "


Do you mean that we can send the transcript and recommendations by post, not necessarily on line? According to PSU's website, all applications to the Smeal MBA Program must be completed online.


2. Shall I submit the application first and offer my financial statement after I get the admission offer?


Hope to hear soon.


Many thanks!


作者: fbap0117    时间: 2005-11-25 11:09

PSU,


Thanks and it really does help much on me. Last question: will GPA plays key role on the application, since my GPA in my first university is below 3?


best regards, fbap0117

1, You must compete your application online and you need to submit official transcript (hard copy) as well. I mentioned recommendation letters b/c some reference prefer to fill in the paper forms.

2, You can save the financials for next step. To meet the deadline, I think it's more urgent for you to complete the application.

To be honest, I believe GMAT and working experience are more important than GPA. And what really counts is the overall evaluation, not an evaluation against a single standard. Good luck!

谁来救救偶,呜呜。为什么打开PSU的网页这么这么慢?打开一页要10分钟??别的学校都没有出现过这种情况阿。这样子怎么网申呢?
作者: wangyaoo    时间: 2005-11-27 00:20

Hi PSU, thank you so much for your help on us. I have a question on the transcript, when I check the website, it is said that we should circulate a photocopy of our transcript for their early check, does it means when they ask the original copy I should send that?


Secondly, PSU doesn't require the words number of essay. It just mentioned the maximum is one page. A lot of other universities regulate the line space and character size. What should I deal with the essay for PSU? I found it really difficult to condense each essay within 400 words. 5555555

HI Wangyaoo,


1,Original copy means hard copy with your undergraduate school's official stamps. These transcripts are sealed by school sometimes.


2,The purpose of setting one-page limit is to keep application process fair to all the applicants. If you really have hard time in condense your essay into one page, I think it's ok for you to change the font size and space a little bit.


All the best!

I have a problem recently in connection to chasedream.com. Sorry for the later reply.

Dr. Oliva teaches Brand Management and Integrated Marketing Communication and co-teaches B2B. These are all great classes. If you have further intests, you can visit www.ralpholiva.com

I am not familar with the e-biz center. The link to its webpage is as following:

Over 1/3 of the class have full assistantships. These assistantships carry a full tuition waiver and monthly stipend. Really good packages are waiting for you guys...

The number of applicants to Penn State exploded this year. If you want to see Joe Pa in person, you'd better hurry up...

, so knowing more in SCM will provide you with more competitive advantage. Is supply chain a good portfolio to devote to? I believe the answer will be based on your own choice. Do you want a career in SCM or not?


Do I need related experience if I want to jump into supply chain management? what industry experience is prefered?

在申请网页上就能看到。在这儿贴一下:

必写:

1.  Discuss your short- and long-term career goals. How do you see the Smeal College MBA degree assisting you in attaining these goals

2.  We all have our own “defining moments” in our personal history: times when we made a choice that affected the future direction of our lives. Describe a decision you have made that has proven to be a turning point in your career/personal life. If you had made a different choice at that time, how might your life be different?

选择:

3.  Donald Trump recently published a book “The Best Business Advice I Ever Received.” It is a compilation of business advice received by successful business men and women. What is the best business advice you have ever received? How has it impacted your professional experience and career?


or



4.  If you did not have to work for a living, how would you choose to spend your time? Why?


BTW, PSU的申请网页挺难找的,不在how to apply,在early acceptance里。

No previous related experience is required when you choose a portfolio. All you need is a strong interest in that portfolio.

我接到INVTERVIEW 通知, 请问需要做何准备呢?


谢谢, FBAP0117


作者: PSU    时间: 2005-12-9 00:05

其实Penn State的面试问题不是很刁钻,我建议你好好回顾一下你的工作/学习经历,看看如何能结合他们说明这样几个问题:


1,Why MBA?


2.Why Penn State?


3,Why at this point?


4,What's your career plan?Short term/long term?


5,Use examples to demostrate how you worked in a team/leadship skills.


6,What's your biggest failure in your professional experience?What did you learn from it?


可以问的问题还有很多,不过万变不离其中,重要的是你能结合以往经历和你对未来的规划,突出说明1,Penn State的MBA能给你带来价值,你也能为学校带来价值。2,Penn State和你的职业发展计划是很好的MATCH.


Good luck!
