我今年也是申请了5所学校, 最后一所UNC。全被据了。我的G-680, T-101,9年工作经验,还有6年Intel的工作经验。本以为能申请到一所学校。但是我想明年再试一次。希望DX们给些好的建议,以便提高明年申请的成功率。
The info you gave is so limited that it is difficult to provide any useful suggestion.
Did you find any weakness in your application package? Were your essays well written? Did you get interview at all? How well did you perform in the inteviews (if any)?
UNC offers interview to every applicant, who just needs to register online.

有时侯自己反思了很久,以为自己找到了失败的根源,其实那或许根本不是,我之前就经历过这样的阶段。
所以在自己冷静下来后找几个外国朋友最好是有商科背景的或者在跨国公司工作的,让他们看看你的essay并和他们一起讨论,有机会再找些今年录取的朋友的essay看看,慢慢的你就会找到原因。
其实GMAT不高是相对的,你如果其他方面有telling point 或者shining point 一定会被学校发现的,所以更重要的还是反思下自己的性格、爱好甚至的气质,因为中国学生的分数真的是太高了,要想出类拔萃,一定要有自己的性格、爱好和个性。这些话可能不是那么悦耳但却是我这一年多准备MBA以来的感受,同你分享。
谢谢大家的指点。我其他四所学校都没有给interview机会。UNC是自己注册得来的。简单说是从来没有被主动邀请过intervew.我在essay里面也是把自己描绘成一个很有报复的青年,好像没用啊。不过我感觉我的申请策略可能不太对。保底的学校申请的太晚。好的学校又申请在第一轮。感觉第二轮申请会好些。还有G680实在是低了点。另外我的学校积点才2.8,虽然是在复旦。看来要保证成功,G最好上700,否则可能根本就没人看你的材料。反正再试一年。实在不行就申请Part-time的或E-MBA.
lz那么久的工作经验里面有没有什么亮点呢?
我认识一个朋友,G只有580都被密西根录取了,因为他的工作背景够强悍。
所以一定要找出让自己出类拔萃的东西来,加油
谢谢.
这个分析也挺适用我的.
可能我也栽在这里了.
或者,我的生涯方向在学校看来是不make sense的.
谢谢.

你啥方向啊?
100%ESSAY出问题。
不是光有为青年人家就要的。
要有差异,突出自己。故事要讲的好。
可以跟学校要求feedback session做reference.
Essay部份,要思考的是整体的package.你是什么样的一个人,你对事情的处理方式透过
Essay表现出来.另外,career goal要make sense.你的过去,现在和未来你所想要的career的关联性.
最后就是Why MBA and Why XX school.
希望对楼主有帮助
别灰心。GMAT太重要了,重考吧。
我觉得你说的很有道理, 所以我注册了MBA insider 在business week 上。上面有录取学生的Essay.的确写的不错。谢谢了

大家看看我的Goal 是否有大漏洞:
I have a long term plan to build up my own software company in IT industry.
For this goal, first of all, I should build and sharpen my business capabilities before 35 years old. In Intel, I inspired my potential and learned a lot about various leadership styles, effective team work, customer orientation, and business operation. Especially, Intel’s open and global working environment cultivated me to be a pro-active and initiative guy with global thinking. However, only a MBA program can offer me systematic business management trainings to improve my general skill-sets of international business operation. Secondly, I need a business co-partner, who are smart and passion. In a top MBA school, it will be easy to get this task done. Thirdly, I should find out the venture capital to support the setup of my business. So I prefer study in US for my MBA program, where it is relatively easier to get capital support.
有道理。看来加入一个申请的workshop是非常有用的。彼此可以互相发现问题。要知道,自己是很难发现自己的弱点。

第一段啰唆
第二段似乎大家都是这么几个理由,是不是招办的人看多了也没感觉了?
是不是强调工作经验会好些啊.如果申请MBA的话.工作应该是很重要的吧
1,没有激情。要写道你自己看了心潮澎湃,高潮迭起。其他人看了才能有感觉。
2, 找PARTNER和找VC,如果这个是来商学院的原因,人家会觉得太小儿科了。你来就为了找个人跟你一起干啊。。。。。。汗啊。
你不来商学院,也照样可以做到。干嘛要来?
唯一一个跟商学院有关的又说的太笼统,简单一句系统训练就过了?
要深挖你现在的经验学识和你的GOAL之间的差距,而这些差距又是商学院能给你弥补的。
3, In Intel, I inspired my potential and learned a lot about various leadership styles, effective team work, customer orientation, and business operation. Especially, Intel’s open and global working environment cultivated me to be a pro-active and initiative guy with global thinking.
这是时候是说缺点补漏的时候,就没必要再继续夸自己了。你都LEARNED A LOT,还来?
这点我不太确定,看其他人意见了。
前两点我很确定。嘿嘿
I should say the tone, grammers and structure in your essay are not professional or good. Plus it's not impressive. You should have asked people to revise the essay.
you need major rework on your essays...

several weaknesses I have observed.
1) although the first paragraph is good, it is def too long. Afterall, this is a goal essay, not an industry report. You should have very succinctly given a brief introduction of the current sitatuation of chinese IT market.
2) second paragraph, I would not specificly say " i want to achieve so and so BEFORE 35 YEARS OLD"... I know in Asian culture, people are inclined to say I want to achieve certain things before certain age". However, I think it is a bit odd in a goal essay. From my perspective, It makes a reader feel a little uncomfortable and does not sound very professional
3) "Secondly, I need a business co-partner, who are smart and passion. In a top MBA school, it will be easy to get this task done. " I agree that people seek partners and want to build professional network in bschool, but it is not "easily" achievable...
Above are just some general feedbacks after the initial read of your goal essay. At this point, i cannot articulate how you could improve those. Maybe you can spend sometime to polish your goals and why MBA?
hope this helps!

看了第一句就不录取你,跑UNC来干嘛啊。下面几句更是不理解,去印度取经或者跳槽不是更好吗?原来还是在Intel工作的,搞搞芯片外包比较合适吧?你来找partner和VC也没什么不可以,可好歹吹吹我们的校友文化和团队吧(这正是我觉得你不该来UNC的地方),总之,整个不make sense,we can not help you
再不客气点,英文太一般了(其实已经很客气了),没事多读点原汁原味的英文吧,你说的那几个公司的网站好好看看比什么都强,行业网站就不用说了
结合你说的谈谈我自己的观点,不一定对,逻辑是这样的:
老子想在中国搞软件,可在中国发展软件业面临很现实的问题(虽然。。。但是。。。),印度和跨国企业却在世界范围和中国如鱼得水(其实这两个不该一起谈,不是一码事),仔细一看一打听一分析,原来人家有一堆TOP MBA毕业的青年才俊(比如infosys去年从美国招了18个,ms招了27个),所以我想出来读个MBA,正好遇见一个UNC毕业在Oracle China(看着编)的,相见恨晚,布拉布拉
essay写得不是一般的差啊。。。。不好意思说得太直白了
从语言能力来说,写的不是english, 是chinglish,这里的人看得懂是因为大家懂中文,不懂中文的人读了可能云里雾里,举个例子:“I inspired my potential and learned a lot about various leadership styles, effective team work, customer orientation..." ------ 英文里有这么说话的嘛 。。。
从结构来说,通常老美比较喜欢一种八股文:第一段点出主题,说清楚你的goal是什么,一目了然,别人一看马上知道主题,这一段短小精悍,对这种短文来说一两句话即可;第二段是body,可以详细解释一下你的goal,它的产生过程,你打算如何实践,可能的结果,等等;第三段conclusion,也是短小精悍,一句或两句话即可,画龙点睛地总结并升华一下你的goal
从沟通能力来说,逻辑欠缺,缺乏说服力。虽然能够明白你的意思,但是不觉得中间有什么联系。你把goal和念mba联系起来这一点很好,但联系得太牵强了。比如,你要做某某事在35岁之前,不明白这个和去念mba有什么联系,因为你这里貌似强调的是年龄了,而非capabilities。(这里再重复一下写作结构,当你要说第一点第二点第三点这种东西的时候,切记你的first of all, secondly等词后面跟的是topic sentence) 其次你去念mba是为了找个partner,看起来很weird,你甚至可以发广告找一个吧?你可以说多认识一些人,发展networking之类,但只为了找个partner...... : ( 最后关于你认为在美国学习就比较容易找capital support,只是你一厢情愿的想法,也许是你的美国梦,不过admission office的人不会认同。
最后一点,政治方向要正确啊。你在第一段花了大量篇幅来说印度和其它软件公司如何如何,而中国就如何如何,所以你要如何挽救中国的软件产业。你这段思想如果申请中国国内的学校,也许学校会觉得你思想觉悟很好,可惜你申请的是美国的学校。这里犯了两个错误。1. 当你说到印度等其他国家公司,读起来的感觉是你用的是negative口吻,对于一个全球招生的商学院,会很反感看到这种国界“歧视”和狭隘民族主义;2. 你的goal只是为了振兴中华软件产业,对抗印度或美国等其他国家软件公司,不仅属于狭隘民族主义,并且你不要忘了,中国事实上一直是美国的敌对国家,不少美国人有仇华情结,审核你essay的基本全是美国人,他们不一定喜欢看到你声称你要如何振兴中华。通常人们想看到的是,一个全球化无国界无狭隘民族情绪的世界人才,为地球发展为全球经济作出贡献。你赤裸裸地说“foreign software and solution companies almost occupied China's software industry... I aspire to take the responsibility to alter the situation..." 除了看到你狭隘的民族主义情绪,你对世界经济发展有什么贡献?一个全球招生的美国学校为什么要收你?就为了帮助你赶跑(假设你能成功)在中国的印度,美国软件公司?
ok, 综上所述,你的essay很幼稚。今年大改之后再申请吧,good luck!

Your English is not that good.And you do not know why MBA. Talk to more people.
Even get admitted, you should expect frustrations for your study in b-school and the job-searching.

晕了,你这个说的有点过了。
"China
楼主应该找人帮忙看essay,大概扫了一眼,第二局话就是GMAT语法考试的典型错句。China本身没有生命,不用has。For example, There is a dog in the room and the dog has 4 legs.
重考GMAT,如果你还有上名校的梦想。
祝你好运。

Guys, be nice to someone who needs advice, as well as encouragement and hope at this moment...
you need to explain "why you"
why this logic is particular for you
what's your personal characteristics, passion, skill sets, experience...etc.
everything
what part of business knowledge?
be very specific
why the industrialization of chip needs you here?
why not others?
and why you need this mba?
