各位前辈,
在CD潜水多日后, 终于也要开始申请了. 但一直在为自己小公司工作背景发愁, 因为发现似乎录取TOP15的都是大公司背景.因为只考虑TOP 15, 不然就不想去念了, 所以想问问有没有前辈也是小公司背景成功录取TOP15的, 相关申请要点在哪里?感谢.
我的简要背景.
国内重点财经院校本科, 澳大利亚金融硕士, 一国内大型证券公司两年经验.现在一家小型merchant bank工作, 主要做M&A和Private placement, 和国内外VC打交道较多. 公司较小, 总部在香港, 所以美国那边肯定不知道.现在一直考虑背景是否能吸引TOP 15.
我认识身边的朋友有一个去wharton的就是在小公司。美国人没听过的公司多了，再大也有不认识的。申请不在乎背景，在于自己怎样发挥这种背景的优势。
some experience to share with applicants in Small firms
a typical interview question is： what reservation will we have in your application process? 我们会对你申请中的哪个方面有疑虑？
My answer is :I think maybe you will have reservation on my employers. All of them are small companies, with staff from 40-110. I assume that you haven't heard the brands at all.
And then I showed the interviewer lots of advantages of working in small companies.
1. booming small companies in booming industry in booming China, innovation, passion, feeling of growing up with the company.
2. opportunities to lead a team, make tough decisions and report to the executives directly in the beginning of your career.
3. few hirarchy. the values of respect for each other. the happiness in your job
4. though only 60 staff, ** coming from top B-schools, verifying that the culture of your company is fit for that of b-school
And the biggest advantage is that you are different from applicants in big 4, consulting, IB or fortune 500. you must have your unique advantages in your small but nice community.

hehe, i must acknowledge that my answer above firstly derives from the talks with Load of Sword.
实在太感谢各位前辈的指教, 给我以信心.
我的老板倒都是HAVARD, WHARTON出来的, 希望他们的推荐能有所支持.
不知上面各位前辈, 在个人自述时, 有特意去解释一下公司的背景吗?

我也是小公司的, 录了DUKE, 还有奖学金. 我觉得不必特意地解释公司的背景, 因为ADCOM的人更想了解的是你这个人和你对你公司产生的影响.

不用了，学校如果知道，你不解释也知道。不知道的话，解释也不知道。
不过倒是可以在简历里面，在公司旁边写一句话概括一下公司的性质是做什么的。就可以了。
表担心，除了个别看中名牌本科，名牌公司的学校，基本上大部分学校都更看重你的工作内容。

^_^，这是我用的法子。
我在每个公司下面加一句话，突出一下不同的卖点。
最后一个公司写的是：a startup company led by HBS, Stanford and Sloan Alumni。
这个法子被众人批判过，慎用。
我也搭车问下多小算小？一年500亿人民币营业额这样的公司在老外看来是不是也只算中等公司？
是不是没有什么公司背景上的优势？
美国人的中小企业定义好像是人数20－500人。500亿如果只算中等公司我估计是拿意大利里拉记价的。
中等企业好像除了人数，营业额是40亿美金以内？
感觉只是国内还可以，拿到全球看比这个规模大的太多了。
谢谢各位前辈的建议.
还有一个关于推荐的问题, 也想听听各位建议.
我的老板都是Harvard, wharton, Ivey出来的. 是不是让admission officer知道他们的背景会对我申请有好处? 如果需要, 怎么才能显示出来呢, 是我在自述里单独说明一下, 还是在推荐信里, 让他们自夸一下,或是有什么其他方式?

hehe, they can provide their information when they answer the questions as:
As his direct supervisor, an MBA from HBS, I strongly recommended....
非常感谢几位的信息，我的背景也不是大公司，以上信息对我非常有帮助，谢谢。
个人觉得一样

自顶一下.
另外, 想问问前辈, 怎么证明自己的社会活动.比如参加一些社会活动, 没奖状,没证书,怎么证明, 提供照片吗?还是随便, 只要吹得神似就行.
