标题: In @ MIT Sloan [2012-04-03] and In @ Ross with $$ + 面試經驗
After 2 years of application, I am in a happy dilemma now...
In @ MIT, In @ Ross with half tuition scholarship (reapplicant) and WL @ Tuck

Female in HK, Gmat 760, T: waived, 3 years IB, 1 year IM and 1 year entrepreneur
Career goal: No specific goal honestly. I just want to explore outside finance industry. Tech/ecommence has been one of my personal passion. Strategy is another area I want to get involved. After two years of MBA, I am planning to return HK/China.

I like the close-knit and college town culture, so I believe two years @ tuck & ross will be wonderful. But WL@tuck means a slim chance to get in. Ross MBA's career stats are getting less impressive these few years. They also canceled non-cosigner loan for international students. Though I got a half ride scholarship, financing remains a big problem to me.

I know MIT is a great school with strong brand name. Ironically, I have not done enough research on this school before applying. I heard that most classes are opened to all schools, including undergrad. It makes me a little concern on the real MBA experience. But for sure that MIT will open many doors I want to explore. It would be great if anyone could share your knowledge on MIT, i.e. classroom experience, alumni network in Asia (i.e. helpfulness) etc..

Appreciate if you could share your view with me....
1) Ross half ride vs MIT?
2) asking Ross for full scholarship (I might try as I believe many international students will drop off this year) vs MIT
3) Tuck (will fly to the campus to fight for an admission) vs MIT?

Thanks all in advanced!!!

面經經驗 : 其實我的面經經驗可能對大家參考性不高, 因為面官都是對我的創業故事問了很多問題, 所以沒有什麼typical questions.

MIT Sloan (in Mar-2012)
在預備 MIT 面試, 我一直參考 clearadxxt 的題目, 預備了好幾個新故事, 但最後在45 分鐘的面試中, admission officer 一直對我的創業經驗很感興趣, 我帶了自己設計的產品去面試, 他就不斷的把玩我的產品, 甚至連我的製作成本也了解一下. 很有趣的面試, 可恨我在之前的面試沒有把我的產品帶去....

Ross (in Dec-2011)
在校友office 面的, 他已畢業了很久, 十分down to earth, 除了問了很多創業故事的問題, 他一直引導我真正why MBA 的原因, 我最後說我只想見識更多, 他跟著說他十分認同. 記得上年我interview 犯了一個大問題是我career goal 沒有跟essay 配合好.... 我相信是reject 的最大原因

Tuck (in Nov-11)
其實我很失望我只有wl... 我跟amy 談得很開心, 甚至我們還講到一個共同認識的tuck alumnus 的讀書趣事.... 老實說, 題目已不太記得了, 但肯定也是clearadxxt 可找到的問題.

希望可幫到大家

big cong! From my point of view, Tuck would be the best place for you if you can get a chance, although the location is~~
Except for that, I vote for MIT. ROSS really dispointed many applicants this year, cancelling loan means alot beyond money.
Anyway, here is my 2 cents! enjoy the happy pre-MBA time

去对你来说经济条件范围内能承受的最好的学校，如果你自己能承受的了MIT，那就去。

每个人经济承受能力不一样，看楼主自己了

如果如你所说，你将来要回到亚洲发展，肯定是MIT。关于本科生上MBA的课，这个我真的觉得不是问题。本来就是一个相互学习的过程。

吐槽下，如果Ross给我半奖/全奖，我就从了。当然这个是因为我自己的特殊情况。爱你的你不爱，你爱的不爱你。。。

Congratulations!! I wish I could exchange my Tuck offer with your Sloan's.

作者: leosunic 时间: 2012-4-3 22:00
I approve this msg.

哈哈，确实挺好玩的。一句话，都是猿粪阿。。。

哎，搞个offer交易市场.

LZ把Ross半奖给Leo, Leo把MIT给Wbomb, Wbomb把Tuck给LZ.

皆大欢喜!

要不要我搞个交易所。GDP就这么产生啦!

作者: raiy 时间: 2012-4-3 22:29
haha you guys are so funny! if there is such an exchange center, everyone will be so happy =))

多謝大家的意見...
對於ross, 有半奬我也要為其他expenses 而煩惱 (因為沒有non-cosigner loan)... 但當然畢業後的 financial stress 會少一點

可能我真的沒有對MIT sloan 做足功課, 所以有多一點的顧慮...

作者: leosunic 时间: 2012-4-3 22:52
在Youtube上看看Sloan的宣传片。当然，宣传片都是捡好的说啦。
然后加入他们的sloan admit googlegroups
然后应该会有一年级生跟你联系可以问下他们

如果有条件的话，可以参加五月的录取招待会（个人觉得这个是最好的了解方式）。不过既然你要去tuck面谈，把两个行程安排在一起还是很可行的。两个学校都听听课，看看你觉得那个更适合自己。

Were I you, I would choose MIT definitely. Not only for the big name, but also for the nice city.
Btw, what's your product? Very curious about it ^_^

作者: wbomb 时间: 2012-4-4 02:46
四月来Boston吧，Tuck的ASW是4/20，deposit deadline是4/27，估计deadline以后他们可能会转正wl，所以最好在这之前来表忠心。
而且这个时候来可以来找我玩，我5月就回国拉。

楼主是女孩，自然tuck是最好的，这是一所你会发自内心喜欢的学校。

Ross也以closeness著称，认识的好几个他们的校友都是非常nice和低调踏实的人。但是prestige和创业氛围肯定不如Sloan了。Sloan是非常好的学校，就是对l女孩来说，稍微感觉有点怪。

不要仅仅因为prestige或者ranking选择一所学校，但是也不能不看到prestige背后的学习和校友资源。

so，争取tuck，如果争取不到，就去Sloan吧。人生岂能尽如己意，任何学校也都不会完美无瑕，淡定从容，好好度过两年最有价值的时光，认识一些一辈子的朋友，找到一份自己心仪的工作，就是MBA最大的收获了。

另，lz是土生土长香港人吗？GMAT 770分好高啊。

ls的mm为啥说女生去tuck最好阿？能不能说具体点？
sloan我觉得很适合女生阿，凡是男生多的理工科学校都很适合女生，物以稀为贵么，hoho。另外charles river上的风光无限好啊。

Boston当然不错啦，但是我现在自己的体会，每所商学院都会不同程度上受到其大学的影响。Wharton可能比较例外，是比较独立的一所学校。总的感觉Sloan整体风格比较偏技术，operation和计量。而这种氛围可能不太适合感性一点的同学特别是女孩的吧。

tuck地方偏，但是美丽，同学团结，class小而精，不少女生应该都很喜欢这种环境。就像Kellogg和Booth，抛开专业所长，大概前者的风格更被女生所青睐？个人感觉，不一定正确哦。

wbomb筒子貌似舍弃kellogg去了tuck，倒是为啥啊？

作者: wbomb 时间: 2012-4-4 06:12

我记得好像Sloan的女生比例其实比很多M7都高....

-- by 会员 51xt (2012/4/4 5:10:00)

就好比一般都认为mit本科一定是男生多，但是里面的小mm告诉我现在比例基本是1：1，我觉得有点矫枉过正了。理工科理所应当男生比女生多，现在扩招女生，水平层次不起，有些很烂我看还不如我母校的女生。

还能为啥呢，就是family reason阿。Tuck虽然地方偏，离我家还比较近，也是冬天滑雪夏天爬山的好去处。
看来ls比较偏爱风景优美的地方，不过一直在大农村也是比较郁闷的。K家地处富裕的郊区，离市中心不远不近，刚刚好，哈哈。Booth听说附近治安不大好，还有wharton附近似乎也不是太好。Sloan的创业气氛很浓，其实很适合lzmm。

Tuck的close-knit非常出名，校友也是出名的帮忙
去Visit的时候感觉同学非常热心，有一哥们只是在一边学习，因为做guidance的一年级学生分享tuck party活动，那哥们也站起来分享他的感受。

后来去其他学校visit, 感觉参差不齐，但是tuck的印象是绝对的impressive.

作者: raiy 时间: 2012-4-4 18:13
thank you all!

i am planning to visit both Tuck and Sloan.

I do agree that the strengths at Sloan actually match with my passion well. Another positive of Sloan is the opportunity to take classes @ HBS which enrich my learning experience. I will try to connect to some students and alumni to feel the real culture

to shumo, I started a business before to sell special gift idea. The one i shown is very girly ... something about underwear... haha.... so it's interesting that the interviewer (male) played with my gift.

作者: wbomb 时间: 2012-4-4 20:38
上次我跟sloan的一年级学生coffee chat，他们说他们跟hbs基本不来往，除了每年有两次机会可以去hbs查他们的job posting，他们反而跟Tuck经常搞活动, hoho。
