以下是引用cicilla在2005-9-23 22:59:00的发言:?
Ok, let me give some answers according to my experience. Now, I'm writting essays and for the first school, it took around 6 weeks. For the second school, it's around 2-3 weeks. For schools I have strong interest, I need at least 1 month to write essays before I feel ready to submit. I have to say you will find that you need much more time to write essays, at least 2 months, because essays are even more important than GMAT (if for top schools, you already got higher than 700 with a good background).Essay is the window that BS can know who you are and what you want.I heard that someone wrote for 8 schools in one week, but did not get any interview even if he has a very good background. Now, you see how important role the essay plays during your application. If you take GMAT at the beginning of this November, you still have a chance to catch R2 for some schools. Most people do not suggest to apply for R3 because it's much more difficult than R1 and R2. Good luck to all of you!
非常感谢cicilla 的回答,对我来说真是及时雨啊~~ 因为没有经历过整个申请过程,所以走这步的时候真是对下一步的强度和时间认识很少,非常需要前辈的提醒。要不是mm这样强调essay的重要性,我难免会顾此失彼啊。
我知道这么晚才来考这些考试真是很冒险的行为 但是既然已经这样了,除了尽力安排我也别无它法。
我没有太多选校的麻烦,只会关注老公所在的州,所以集中在4所+。现在已经down下了几所的申请表格。鉴于cicilla的建议,我会开始着手陆续准备材料。希望一切顺利~~ |
