标题: HKUST - WAITING LIST
Bachelor degree in Economics (low GPA) from Georgia Institute of Technology(GIT) in the US, 2 years work experience as a Business Analyst in the US, and 1 year with IBM in Shang Hai, GMAT 640, interviewed for HKUST Shen Zhen PT program on April 14th, got waiting-listed on the 18th (ps:收到waiting-list的email后崩溃了）.
What are my odds of getting the offer?

Thx

I believe you were expecting CDers' thrilling like "wow, how come, you have such a strong background......."

However, I feel like telling you the cold hard truth. Your low GMAT basically matches your low GPA, which convinced the adcom that you could not catch up the competitive study. I dont know how well you did in your job, but your interview most likely did not help too much to flip over their earlier judgement. Eventually, they put your name on the waiting list, because your working experience still look quite good.

If I were you, I will try to get higher GMAT score before they make the final rejection, just to prove I am not a bad student, especially for someone who has studied in such good college in US for under.

对于ｐａｒｔｔｉｍｅ的项目，ＧＭＡＴ分数不算低了。背景还不错，可能问题出在面试上。

不太明白，你在上海。为何要到深圳去读在职的ｍｂａ。

If not the reason of GMAT score, so why?
And is there any ranking of the waiting list?

. I have never thought about getting a "WOW" with my bakground in this forum.

You definitely have a point, though, u might have been a little judgemental; I swear with all my hearts that I was not expecting any compliments (especially in this forum where there are too many talents) , all I was trying to do was to present enough info. for ppl. to come up with a more objective opinion.
Though, I am not sure another attempt for the GMAT would be an option to me since I have a fulltime job that I might not have enough time to study to significantly increase my gmat scores before the admission makes a decision anyway.

GMAT的却是不够理想。但我也同意问题出在interview上，当他们问我为什么在上海工作却申请深圳的时候，我回答得不是很好，但我们公司的却容许也鼓励员工申请到别的location工作，不过很明显他们当时没有被我说服。

This is how I see this whole waiting-list thing, they are basically saying you failed the interview, the only chance you might be reconsidered is when they have some accepted applicants reject their offer and they have opennings .(which is very unlikely for a class size like that in SZ; coz only those ppl. who were not planning to go oversees would apply for HKUST SZ programme, and since HKUST ranks 6th in the world and 1st Asia, why would anyone reject it).
So, then again, what luosmwrath said above might be right that the only way to increase your odds to be reconsidered is to give gmat another shot and hope to get a higher score (significantly higher score!).

Alright man, my bad, I guess I was a bit judgmental. What I was trying to say is that your background looks very good, the only problem I could see is your GMAT along with GPA. This is quite an obvious weakness in your application, comparing to your strength, and it is not a surprise that you would be turned down just because of this. As you said HKUST is the best in Asia, you have to be either universally good or there is an absolute strength in your package that few could compare with you.

Anyway, good luck, and "wow" for your background by my heart

我不太懂为什么大家一直认为GMAT和GPA低了，这两个都不是问题。GIT是个好学校，640分GMAT不错了。

我认识不少人，在中国读的非常非常一般的学校，英文也不太好，都进了这个项目。

关键在于面试和工作经验。

另外，排名亚洲第一的不是这个项目，是他们的全职mba。这个项目并没有你们想像的那么厉害。

我也是waitlisted着。。。工作经验吧。

作者: frankiehan2010 时间: 2011-4-20 00:31
那我就更不明白了，自信工作经历不算十分优秀但怎么也不算差吧。难道我面试的表现真那么差吗？

作者: anich 时间: 2011-4-20 11:07
我听说里面做技术（engineer)的比较多（上一届哈）。到底有多少人被waitlist呀。

作者: linsonyeo 时间: 2011-4-21 14:21
the question in the interview is vey simple. But the simple questions have complicated implication to judge whether you are a potential excellent leader and whether you can benefit their school. It is very hard to detect your own problem in the interview. I only can say that good luck to us.

看到有人拿到r3的offer了，还有人有消息吗

作者: camlot 时间: 2011-4-21 18:09
刚收到通知说会晚些时候做决定。这算不算杯具的waitlist(FT) ?

作者: linsonyeo 时间: 2011-4-22 15:39
大家的GMAT Score都是多少?

作者: zzrobin 时间: 2011-4-22 16:19
To camlot, 你去催的吗？他告诉你晚些？

作者: frankiehan2010 时间: 2011-4-22 16:29
I think this is just you waiting, its different from you being waitinglisted. They will specifically tell u that u are now on waitinglist if you are.

作者: camlot 时间: 2011-4-25 09:54
To zzrobin: just received a "Special Memo" notifying the final decision would be made within four weeks.
Waiting is as torturous as being waitlisted...

作者: linsonyeo 时间: 2011-5-11 15:26
hate to be put in the waiting list........

标题: good luck
一点点感觉，可能不太准。

1〉LZ的背景无可挑剔，但是留意到总共3年的工作经验，可能是个问题。可以参考下平均年龄。
2〉为什么这么晚面试-April 14？据以前经验，一般科大深圳第一轮面试在1月，and 2月底最快就有结果了。申请轮次越后，竞争更激烈。
3〉面试// 我同意前面一兄弟的推测。我倒是觉得GMAT已不是问题，况且人家已经给你面试资格，证明您硬件不太是问题。关键出在面试。

希望LZ能如愿转正。

TO:frankiehan2010 ,如果你的确很想得到这个机会，如同我们做SALES 希望把快要失去的ORDER抓住一样，MAKE YOUR LAST TRY.机会是自己争取来的。我认识一个学长，WL,自己给OFFICE好好的说明了一番，证明了自己的价值，最后被录用了（不是HKUST，呵呵，北美区的）就算失败了也自己也没有遗憾的了。MBA的过程是一个很有趣的PROJECT运作的过程。AD OFFICE =APPLE公司的营销手法，很有意思。
