为了Kellogg我觉得可以再等一年，但是为了Cornell就没有必要了吧？Cornell有比USC和GU好那么多么以至于需要明年reapply？

为了cornell就算了。

再等一年你的背景履历会发生很大变化吗？如果这一年内你工作上有了很大的成就可以再申，如果换汤不换药的话我觉得意义不大

Hi Charles,

I am also admitted by USC IBEAR but rejected by Kellogg 1Y with the interview and Cornell AMBA without interview. Moreover; still wait for LBS Mif.

For your question (assume you would like to apply 1 year MBA); I think you can try Kellogg 1Y if you had business education background in college. You can try Cornell AMBA if you had technical or enginnering education background in college.

Back to your profile, I think your G and T is good enough because my girl friend got Kellogg 1Y admission with 680G and 100+T.

So what you can do is to make your career have a big change or upgrade that can have a good story for you to write essays. Moreover; you can pay more efforts to know Kellogg and Cornell by joining fairs, browsing websites, campus visits, and associating alumni ( this is the most important key factor proved by my GF because she had been in touch with her interviewer in the fair)

Anyway, if you need more ideas from me, please feel free to send to me an email.

My profile:

G: 680, T: 100+

Education: BA in Econ, MBA in International Trade (all in Taiwan)

Work experience:
1.5 years in Military Services
1.5 years in Human Resources consulting firm
3 years in wealth management of some foreign bank

Best regards,

Ivan

thanks for the inputs.

but what i concern is more than ranking but future career opportunity and relative cost. ex: 2011 USC graduate with 2yrs experience VS 2013 top 15 graduate apply the same position in corporate strategy in 2013. which one has better chance to get the offer. more, i'm 30 this year. will my age be another concern on pursuing post MBA career ?

and how to decide between USC VS GTU?

to reply above LZs: i served in TW. And i intend to focus on improving my test score and essays if i reapply. cuz i think that's the major reason i wasn't admitted by top 15 this year.

thanks so much for your great help and valuable feedback....

USC IBEAR 这个项目是一年的，很多人是公司sponsor的，所以在美国找工作怎么样你得弄明白。
