这些学校之间差得也太多了。比如University of Southern California,University of Toronto很难够得上。

而有些学校几乎没有什么reputation,不太值得申请。

Yes, I will apply for all these schools because my GMAT is very weak 690..... so I need some backups.

For the very strong schools, .. I just give it a try and hope that I have some lucks.

Actually, if I don't go to the worst two universities (not good to mention here) I think, I am ok with that because I don't think I can have placement with the very top universities.

Thank you. Well, my very targeted universities are georgia state, georgia institute, University of Florida .. FSU... some schools like that.

What do you think?

重考G然后申点好学校,你这个list中的学校有很大一部分学校一般,当然如果人家有很好的博士项目的话也是不错。

I think you should be able to get offers from schools that are better than those low ranked schools in your list. Don't be so conservative. Retake the GMAT and aim high. I remember there was a guy last year, undergraduate from an australian college, went to columbia eventually. I think your profile looks better than him. If you can get a good letter from tj wong and are as lucky as that guy, you should be able to have a very good offer.

牛津那个学位是ACCA送的吧
我觉得你申请香港大学比你LIST中的某些学校好

For the Oxford Brookes, yes, it is from ACCA. Actually, My "core bachelor" is BSc in Finance from BYU.

Well... In Hong Kong, it is so weird. They seldom hire people as an assistant professor from graduates of universities in Hong Kong. They like to hire people for this position from Australia, UK, Canada, or US although the schools have low ranking. (Maybe I am wrong)

For Ethylene, actually, My background is very weak if compared with that of all "big cows" in chasedream. I am scared to death.

As you can see, many people got rejected by schools although they have 700+ GMAT.

Thanks
