We are, Penn State!

Hi Chasedreamers,

Once a Chasedreamer, now I am a 2nd year MBA student in Penn State's Smeal College of Business. Seeing more and more Chinese students are interested in Smeal's MBA program, I sensed out a strong need of communicating information between Smeal and prospective students. For an ex-GMAT-taker and a beneficiary of Chasedream like me, this need creates a great opportunity to share my experience and mingle with Chasedreamers again. If you have questions about Smeal College, MBA life or anything else, please feel free to post it here. I will try my best to answer them or direct you to the right resources.

Below is the link to our school webpage, hopefully it will provide you with answers to some general questions.

Good luck in your future endeavor!

谢谢!

端个凳子，占个地方。

看到PSU网站上面说有新楼刚刚落成，偶估计是因为弄新楼，所有人都忙折腾了。

也不知道猜对没？
