. I do believe your Ms from CU and your engineering,esp. OR, background should put you at a favorable position in application. I tend to choose different programs in different universities.
For example, in Columbia Business School, I'll choose the program focusing on risk, decision and operation, which is co-organised both by the business school and the department of Industrial Engineering and Operation Research which is right the department I'm working in right now.
And in some other universities, I may choose programs in Finance, since my mathematical background is relatively strong.
I'm right now at the very beginning stage of application and to be completely honest, I really don't think a Master's degree in Columbia will help me a lot. Coz, you know, there're always some people who're outstandingly perfect around some corners of the world.
In my apartment, I know two Phd students in Columbia Business School. One of them is from Spain and the other's from Russia. I have to say that they are really really brilliant and I always feel shame when they met me in the hall way, trying to chat with me about any of the recent political or business movements taken by the Chinese Government, while most of the time, I myself found out that their ideas were more rational and wonderful than mine.
So, as we all know, the standard of admission to a top Business School is very high and I just wanna have a try.
Wish all of us good luck!:-)
While, Thank you a lot.;-)
Actually, I've got a lot of support from my current Master adviser. He's a great professor in my department and he's from South Korea. So, to all the asian students, he tried to make us set very high academic goals and to realize the fact that we're much more talented than most of the other students from America or Europe.
Anyway, Thank you very much for your great advice!
Wish you great success too! hehe
Be confident, man! The fact doesn't necessarily mean that you are not outstanding that there are always some people who are more competitive in some aspects than you (Like a GMAT sentence:d. I do believe your Ms from CU and your engineering,esp. OR, background should put you at a favorable position in application.
We share much in background and target programs. I'm applying Decision science/OM too. Discussion is welcome.
Maybeaways终于又献身江湖了，你的条件应该是很有竞争力的，起码比我有竞争力，呵呵。似乎我们的教育背景跨度都挺大的，需要给个合理的解释。
UGPA也折的偶及其难受，四年平均85.4/100，欧觉得还算不错的了，但按照A4/B3/C2的折法也就勉强3.5，也觉得这种比较办法可能不大公平。
偶本来没打算申Columbia，因为它的商学院太牛，但decision方向不是太牛，这样对偶这样都各方面都比较平均的人极其不利，但是实在找不到合适的学校了，就索性放手博一把。这个方向04、05年分别从大约100申请者中招了4和3个学生，竞争还是比较激烈的。不知道今年招几个？有没有在读的同胞呢？欢迎交流(cnsnowfield(A) hotmail.com)，但愿能一起奋斗在哥大。

呵呵，一起奋斗吧
不过，我现在很想换个地方，因为觉得纽约不是做学问的地方……想换到相对荒凉一点的地方，呵呵
这倒是，我也不喜欢喧嚣的城市，感觉不是静心做学问的地方，更喜欢pudue之类的在郊外或者乡村自成一体的氛围，可惜有我喜欢的方向的学校就这么几所，别无选择。
indiana那个地方就算了，好多负面新闻都是从那里冒出来的，概率好像大了一些。偶还是喜欢大城市。。。

如果本身不喜欢那种氛围可能会觉得压抑，但比较喜欢安静的人可能更enjoy一些，不过无论如何保持必要的交流和沟通，有自己的生活放松方式都能避免悲剧的发生。
啧啧。最近IU那个女生如果多些跟人沟通的话，也不至于沦落到给人dismiss的地步了。
沟通的确非常重要，尤其是对我们，有时候语言障碍还是会造成一些麻烦，多沟通应该能减少误会.....
不过IU的事还没听说，是最近吗？Duke的好像还没了断吧？唉，赶上变态的老师可真真不幸，欧一个们的老板就极其变态，好在他是做博后，走人会容易的多，读博赶在变态老板手下，人没准就给废了......
而且还是KELLY B-SCHOOL的PHD PROGRAM里面的事情。据说那个中国女生有些精神分裂，压力之下写了两张条子辱骂韩国教授，并贴在门上。
对于我来说，学校的reputation固然重要，但是是否能够和教授work out才是最重要的。很多top的学校其实教授已经不actively do research并且没有时间管你，去那里只会无所适从，除非你本来就是大牛，能够独立做出非常好的研究。
又多了一位牛人参加今年的申请队伍了！
lz的背景很强啊！大家一起加油~~~fighting!

非常同意！！！PhD program就像师傅带徒弟一样，师徒关系不好，很难有好的成果！！
人际关系的质量有时候能在很大程度上决定你能走多远，甚至你的生活质量...
好像和楼主的问题无关，呵呵
