标题: GPA只有77%的非牛校，申请读加拿大的MBA，难不难？
我是非牛校的化学专业本科，GPA3.3，换作百分比是75%，曾在某美资公司任职化学工程师。
不知这样的背景申请加拿大的MBA能不能，GMAT要很高吗？
还是再有其它要求？
谢谢各位指教。

Your GPA is okay. If you can get a GMAT above 700, your chance to get in a decent MBA program in Canada will be high.

Could you tell me how to convert it ?

请问“GPA3.3，换作百分比是75%”的意思？是不是说GPA是75分/100分？

作者: belinda 时间: 2003-10-10 23:57
我是用以下方法计算我的GPA，不知是否正确。
我们学校的优是90-100，良是80-89，中是70-79，合格是60-69。
我把我的优当95分计，良当85分。。。
然后就算成百分制的平均分，再换成GPA。不知这个方法是否正确。

答复：请教各位前辈GPA的算法?

标题: 到底有多少人让Agency/consulting来写/改essay?
谢谢Liwis，你回答得真快呀。
只是700分耶，好担心。。。

我还想问如果想明年入学，我现在还什么东西都没开始。
如果明年1月先考托福，2月再考GMAT，3月份递资料，来得及吗？
我是新手，麻烦你多指教。
谢谢。

I think you should contact school first. 75% is O.K for most of Canadian schools. But may not be enough for Rotman. They ask for 85%.

As for the timing, I think submit at March may be too late for international applicants. You need to check each school's deadline.

谢谢chipmunk，
忘记了说，我现刚移民加拿大，不知这样三月申请还来的及吗？
听说第一轮多，第二轮以后就少了，请问怎么回事呀？

我最担心的是时间来不及，只有两个多月准备GMAT，还要象lewis说的700分以上!真的很不容易。
所以，我想听听大家的意见，如果有希望，我就无论如何也试试。只怕是自己背景不强是硬伤，申请时间又来不及。

请大家帮帮忙，再谢谢了。

belinda ：我帮你介绍的地方没错吧，CD是个大家庭，记得开始复习的时候多去去“走出GMAT困境”很多朋友会帮你一起粉碎GMAT的。衷心祝愿你申请成功！

作者: belinda 时间: 2003-10-11 10:09
shinogigi，
你好呀。
你说的不错，
CD真是个很好的大家庭，大家都很热心。
我希望能在大家的帮助下也能取得成功，也希望可以帮到别人。虽然我现在还很菜：)

It's true that the earlier, the better. But since you've already in Canada, chance still exists even in March. What is your target school, if you don't mind I'm asking? I would suggest you start to contact your target school before you submit application. In Canada, local applicants usually have big advantages.

chipmunk:
其实我真的还没有想好申请什么学校，因为我才刚刚开始准备这项大工程。
事实上我的GPA不算高，背景也比好多CD中的朋友弱，看来只有象lewis和你所说的，靠GMAT来一搏了。
你对加拿大的MBA熟悉吗？能给点建议吗？
谢谢。

作者: chipmunk 时间: 2003-10-12 11:39
Sure, but you have to tell me your career goal after MBA.

作者: belinda 时间: 2003-10-15 21:22
我在国内的职位最高也只是产品工程师。在国内工作的公司是美国的前500强，在该行业（属于制造业）是leader，但现在好象也一般。且本人对财务，金融的了解甚少。所以可能重点不在财经金融方面(还有个原因是我的高数学的不咋样)
读MBA的目的是想可以提高自己的水平，例如分析能力呀，处理事情的能力呀，和认识一批志同道合的朋友，职业目的是以后可以回国或在加拿大做上中高层管理人才。
不知您可以给点意见我吗？
谢谢。

Ivey could be your best choice, in terms of improving your soft skills. York is also a good choice. I strongly suggest you to visit school campus and sit in their class. Then you should have better idea what kind of classmates & professors you will have.

chipmunk, as you said, people staying Canada have the advantage of contacting with school before submitting their package. I am quite interested in the way to contact with school.

I would like to know what you mean "contact" here?
we may divide the question about into several small questions:

1. who should I contact with? admission officer or professor?
if it is admisson officer, I think they are busy and have no time..
if it is professor, how to contact with them? Do you think a professor who you don't know will be kind enough to talk with you..they are always very busy as well

2. the purpose to contact with them and the benefit of the contact
Even we got a chance to talk with professor or admission officer, what topic should I talk with them?
Do you think they have interest and patience to hear about your story and background?
if it is not a long talk, you can't leave an impression to them, how can the talk benefit your application?

Thanks a lot.

You may be surprised how excited when adcom knows you want to talk to them. :-) just kidding.

You should only contact adcom, not the professor, unless you want to apply other Master program. There are several ways you could use:
1) information session (you could check their schedule on schools' website)
2) call adcom and schedule a campus visit
3) call adcom if you have anything want to clarify from them

The purpose:
1) show your enthusiastism about their program (you may do little homeword before reach them);
2) let them know your're good candidate;
3) most important, by taking their class, you could know what kind of classmate and professor in that school.
