择校、定位求建议

本人2010年于英国Top2本硕连读毕业（化学专业），现在上海就职于一家欧洲化学公司做工艺工程师，三年中有过总共10个月的海外外派经历（法国、泰国）。目标是2015年秋季入学，入学时年龄28，工龄5。

GMAT：正准备中（目标720~750）
GPA：这是我最纠结的地方，当时由于个人的原因成绩不是很理想，应该在3.0~3.2这个水平

现在的想法是在美国Top20里选择一间侧重industry的学校，毕业后还是准备待在化工、能源行业，做marketing/strategy/general management 这方面的工作。目前有很强的移民倾向，不准备短期内回国了。

我觉得自己最大的短板是GPA，工作经历上我觉得涉及商务的方面太少，优势是学校牌子，语言，海外经历。

请各位过来人帮我分析下，什么样子的学校比较适合我？申请成功率、留在美国的几率比较高？谢谢！

OXbridge加分应该不少，除了H/S有难度其他应该都有希望

GPA可能是整个申请里最不重要的部分

而且还拥有竞争不那么激烈的非传统背景~

Hey there,
You will have lots of options for you, especially if you do well in work and on the GMAT. Here is a starter list of strong energy programs or specializations or links to the Energy industry like Stanford, Haas, the Texas schools (Rice, McCombs), and Duke.
Stanford has the Precourt Institute for Energy:http://pie.stanford.edu/
Haas has an emphasis on Energy and Clean Technology:http://mba.haas.berkeley.edu/academics/energy.html
Duke has a concentration in Energy and Environment: http://www.fuqua.duke.edu/edge/education/mba_ee/

McCombs @ Austin has two energy research centers, and specialization in energy finance:

http://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/centers/emic
(and being in Texas don’t hurt none, neither)

Rice @ Houston has an energy concentration:

Also, being located in the city where the majority of the Energy supermajors have their main HQ will definitely be a plus when it comes to internship or job-seeking time.

I hope this helps!!!

Thanks a lot Jon, this really helped!

Texas is indeed one of my most interested place to go, career opportunities, lifestyles etc. If it doesn't consume a lot of your time, could you please share a bit more of the McCombs MBA program? The only concern for me about this school is ranking, will it bring a noticeable difference in comparison to those in the top 10s? Thanks very much for your time.

Hey,
McCombs is a very strong school, even if it is not int he top 10. They have been working very hard to get their name out in the energy industry, and have a lot of good connects. I'd say that Stanford and Haas are both better if you can get in. But think about it this way: If you can get into Stanford and/or Haas you might get a full tuition scholarship from McCombs. So it might be worth your while to apply.
