标题: 680GMAT, 可以申请什么学校?
今天考试结束,分数让人为难,part-time 复习,真得很辛苦,不知道这个分数能否有机会去 IVEY or 美国的什么学校,如果实在不行,打算辞职,full-time review, 重新再来。谢谢过来人指点,如果重考,想趁热打铁。

这个成绩对希望申请Top20的中国申请人来说,稍微有点低了,当然要看你的其他方面,比如工作经验,Essay等等,每年都有GMAT低于700的朋友去了顶尖学校,比如去年的Smile(670?or 680?)去了Haas,今年的JJboy(690)去了Kellogg,当然他们的背景都非常强了。去年Dreambox申请Duke没有被录取,被告知700的GMAT太低,建议重考,重考得到730,今年被Duke录取。

各个申请的credential要综合起来看,高分数自然能增加竞争力,但如果package里其它因素不怎么地的话,照样白搭;vice versa

就连最TOP的wharton今年在大陆招的都有GMAT不足700的,更可以说明分数并不能说明一切。

当然如果时间允许的话,不妨再考一次。然而再考一次考750和650的几率一样。看你的时间安排跟对自己的信心了。

谢谢各位的建议,请问一下,

What are included in the package?

GPA + WE ?

My background: Software Engineer, Master Degree, WE : 2.5 years.

Any further suggestion?

申请MBA的几个要素包括:GMAT、TOEFL、GPA、Essay、Recommendation Letter、Resume、Interview。其中Essay的重要性最高了。你的背景属于比较Traditional的申请人,但是工作经验似乎有点少,光从你提供的信息,很难作出更多的判断。比方说,同样是Lead一个Project,不同的人的做法就不同,从这些过程而不是项目的性质本身,可以反映一个人的Personality、Leadership、Teamwork等,例如,碰到困难,你是如何鼓励团队成员的;碰到和上级的意见不一,你是如何处理的。所以,我认为,不管什么工作都可能是好的申请题材,关键是要从一个“过程”里面发掘自己。Adcom希望了解的不是你做了什么,这些从Resume就可以看出来,他们希望看到的是你是如何做的,你为什么这样做。

680 is not a bad thing.  i helped a friend to obtain an MBA with full tuition waiver...a pretty good school with less popularity

in addition, 680 is fair enough for top 20 schools.  don't listen to those bullshits about adcom ... adcom is a group of people like you and me...get to know them and show them two things

1. you are keenly interested.  you know everything about the school

2. you are able to find a job after your mba

There are many other ways you can try. The most useful resourse is businessweek forum. Other than that, you can also contact current first year or second year Chinese students there, or do your research here in our forum. I'm sure that will make you busy enough for preparation.

Thank you for your guidance. Helpful.


But my concern is that whether the general infomation about a school is enough during essay-writing and interviewing. Should (or can) I supplement materials that show my knowledge of their first-rate specialities or professors in which I am interested? If positive, how deeply?
