请教：LSE的MSF+2年海外工作经验对美国牛校MBA申请有多大帮助？

现已有国内银行工作经验1年，若09fall入学，英国牛校来个MSF，金融行业再工作两年，再申请美国牛校的MBA有多大帮助？

工作是在海外的更好吗？如果不能在英国，香港和新加坡的也功效相近吗？还是和国内的区别不大？

美国的牛校MBA一定看重leadership的经验吗？

望前辈们指点~~

It seems to me that you are shaping your career for a MBA rather than shaping your career for your future career aspirations.  Take a good look at your skill sets and opportunities around you and see if you can accomplish your career goals without a MBA first.  As a rule of thumb, MBA should be your last resort.   

While leadership experience is a critical factor for the admission's committee, adcome also take into account leadership potential.  If you have been following the "In at ......schoool" posts by sucessful applicants this year, you will notice that many sucessful applicants to top 15 programs only have 2-4 years of work experience.  Take me for example, I will attend Darden this fall but a colleague/friend with 3 years less work exp is attending HBS.  However, it does take more work to convince adcom of something intangible such as "potential". 

Now what I don't understand is that why you would want to get a MBA after a MSF from LSE.  Do you have an offer from LSE already?  What kind of responsibilities do you have now?  With couple of years of solid quant/finance work/exp under your belt you can probably start as an associate or a 3rd year analyst after LSE.  You might want to get a CFA afterwards to complete your resume.

Good luck

MBA只是手段，希望可以在美国有满意的工作留下。自己觉得才一年retail banking的经验，本科学校不牛，很难拿到美国牛校的offer，即便是MSF。之所以考虑英国，是因为拿到lse的offer把握较大。不知道这样曲线救国值不值得？

朋友们说如果最终的归宿是美国，就应该直奔，不要浪费资源。

希望前辈们指点了~~

赞同楼上两位的说法。

小姑娘家还得考虑嫁人啊，虽然现在没有意中人。年底转去其他行当，做个3/4年，再出去怕年纪大了不好嫁啊~~
