【求助帖】雙低＋６－９個月的工作銜接ＧＡＰ準備考試該如何解釋？

高雄魯蛇 · 发表于 2016-11-5 13:55:56

各位申請ＭＢＡ路上的前輩好，

ＬＺ本身是個雙低（低ＧＰＡ：轉學前兩年平均接近60/100，轉學後三年平均70/100左右、低工作年資）

最近因為本身不喜歡該公司的內部風氣加上個人體質因素...所以在第一個工作八個月後就被迫失業了...

加上本身其實有打算申請2018Fall的MBA

但是ＬＺ過去英文跟數學底子差到抬不起頭（不乖乖唸書的下場）

目前有在補習ＧＭＡＴ、托福，剛好在這個華人轉職期之前被裁員，所以想說藉這個機會ＧＡＰ一段時間～

暫定到七月一戰ＧＭＡＴ跟托福，盡量讓其中一個第一次就分手，不然戰線拖很長，可能也會Handle不來...

然後開始工作繼續準備把分數拉到申請學校的標準線。（Ｇ：700+、Ｔ:100+）

（因為ＬＺ很不要臉的把目標定在ＴＯＰ30+）

按照ＬＺ假設：當兵１１個月、第１個工作８個月、考試後的工作到入學亦是接近３２個月（接近三年）的工作年資。

但是ＧＡＰ期似乎有點太長....

若是本身過去GPA的成績太差，我這段GAP期準備托福跟ＧＭＡＴ，該如何解釋才不顯得弱勢，並且具有合理性？

創業部分，一直跟朋友有構想跟目標物，但是大家不在同一個地區，討論也不夠積極....（嘆氣）

謝謝各位的建議！

其实有当兵的经历是比较能stand out的。我觉得这个可以作为亮点写啊
至于GAP,一般都是说去创业了。。。吧
另外，比较好奇台湾的同学们在申请mba的时候除了CD还有什么聚集的论坛么？或者fb/wechat/whatsapp group?

建議GAMT及托福有考兩次的心理準備，第一次距離申請截止提前幾個月考(全職準備的話應該可以比七月再早一點先考)，先有個底，再來慢慢衝分數，因為後面準備文件的時間很花時間(如果還要工作的話)

Hey there,
And good to hear from you!

Now, I'd LOVE to help you out and get down with your profile.

The thing is I am missing detail.

I need a LOT more info from you - school name, employer name, titles, promotions, greatest achievements, volunteer work, sports, community service, religious involvement, leadership.. etc. before I can give you a real evaluation.

It will also be very helpful if you can elaborate upon your goals.

Have a look at some of the other very detailed profile requests on this board and do something similar and I'll be happy to get back to you.

Best,
Jon Frank

Hey dude!
Good to hear back from you! And with so much detail. This will really help me help you.

So first of all, I will say what you already know: a lot regarding your chances will have to do with your test scores - so GMAT and TOEFL!! They are capitol!

Now I see two issues with your profile that need to be addressed:
1. Low GPA - the BEST way to address this is by getting an awesome GMAT. It doesn’t “Get rid” of the low GPA, but it DOES show you are smart.
2. Work experience - Your work experience is relatively choppy, and only when you get to the Dongguan Oasis and Taiwan Knowledge Bank does it really get “professional”. I think the main thing though is to figure out what we can present the AdCom for your goals.

Now the schools you can apply to will depend on your GMAT score… but let’s say anyhow that because of the two above issues, Top 10 and Top 15 schools will be out of range. Their average GPA of the incoming students is 3.6-3.7, plus everyone is coming from the best schools and fantastic jobs (MBB and so on), and I’m afraid your profile won’t be competitive there. Now, if you can get that GMAT score of 720/730 I think Top 30 schools will be in range though.

This is all very general, and will be easier to say once you have your GMAT score in hand.

Best,
Jon Frank
