Mr. State Legislature （州立法委员）
-740 GMAT
-2.89 GPA
-Undergraduate degree in physics/sociology from a nearIvy public university（非工程、会计等常见专业）
-Work experience in a state legislature（州立政府工作经验）
-Extracurricular involvement in political campaigns（州竞选中的志愿者）
Odds of Success
-Harvard Business School: 20%
-Michigan: 50%
-Duke: 60%
-Texas: 70%
-North Carolina: 65%
Sandy’s Analysis: “Harvard Business School takespols, but usually from the White House or the Treasury Department, and thosekids usually have stellar records at Ivies and superb schmoozing abilities.Your chances at other schools you note depend on what your actual role is inthe state legislature, what state (is it a state in which the school islocated?), and who can push buttons for you. If none of that, GMAT might neutralizeGPA and with sharp execution on your applications, you stand a chance atseveral of these schools.”
HBS录取有政府工作经验的人，不过一般是在白宫或财政部工作的人。一般能进白宫或财政部的人都有很出色的纪录。
申请成功的关键在于：
１、你的实际function
2、在哪个州工作？是否是申请学校所在的州？如果你在加州工作，然后去申请HBS，HBS会怀疑你对工作的热情吧？
3、谁帮你写推荐信。
Ms. Hospitality（公关性质的女白领）
-660 GMAT
-3.7 Grade Point Average
-Undergraduate degree in art and communication fromUC-San Diego（OK的公立大学的比较简单的专业）
-Work experience in marketing at a well-respectedinternational hospitality design firm（比较有名的公关firm的marketing）
-Strong extracurricular involvement in ethnic identityorganization and some involvement in other organizations（参加过少数族裔的活动组织）
Odds of Success
-Harvard Business School: 20% or less
-Columbia: 40% to 55%, if you apply early admission
-New York University: 55% to 70%
-Chicago Booth: 40% to 60%
-Michigan: 40% to 50%
Sandy’s Analysis: “A 3.7 is good, but your GMAT islow-ish and your current job does not sound selective. Having a hard-to-getjob—one where you can be compared to other rising hot shots—is another one ofthose dirty little secrets of the admissions game（有一个录取竞争力强的工作很重要！！！）. Your chances atHarvard are remote. Booth takes kids like you with solid execution. NYU iswary, but apply. Not Ross. A lot will depend on what schools think of yourcurrent job in terms of selectivity and as a platform for your goals.”
Ms. Hospitality和Ms. Sotheby’s很相像。区别在于，Ms. Sotheby’s的工作经验比较独特（艺术界），而Ms. Hospitality的是marketing。Conventionalvs. unconventional的差别还是挺大的。
Mr. Canada
-710 GMAT
-3.93 GPA Undergraduate degree from a Canadian university
-3.72 Graduate GPA from a very good Canadian university
-Work experience with a small analytics consultingcompany
-Extracurricular involvement in leadership positions onstudent council and student clubs; awards in business case competitions（大学时组织过很多活动；casestudy的冠军）
Odds of Success
-Harvard: 35% to 50%
-Stanford: Less than 35%
-Wharton: Less than 50%
-Kellogg: 50% to 60%
-Tuck: 50%
Sandy’s Analysis: “Your GMAT, GPA and schooling arefine, but I ask you to consider the dirty little secret mentioned above: ‘Howselective is your job?’ and what is the history of your firm sending kidsto business school? Harvard, Wharton and Stanford respect analytics firms,especially the big blue chip firms like Nera, CRA and Rand, but less so thesmaller firms. That might not be a deal breaker, but it will be a big hurdle.If your firm does not have a record of employee admission success, you willhave a real burden in explaining how selective it is, and who the owners are,and what projects the firm has done. Lack of interesting extras and no-namefirm might be too much to overcome at H/W/S but solid other stuff might do youfine at most other schools.”
个人认为这个profile和很多国内申请人接近。很有名的学校毕业，但是公司和单位并不outstanding，至少名气不大；尽管你的工作是typicalpre-MBA jobs: Engr, Acct, Consulting, IB。这是进H/W/S的最大障碍。
需要花很多精力解释工作：你的公司有多大的名气，你的工作有多难申请，你的职位有多种要，……
Mr. Science
-720 GMAT
-3.3 Grade Point Average
-Doctorate of Pharmacy from reputable program（医药学博士，不错的program）
-Work experience at a large pharmaceutical company（制药公司的工作）
-Extracurricular includes alumni involvement and veryactive participation in an ethnic identity organization（很多校友和少数族裔的活动）
Odds of Success
-Harvard Business School: Less than 40%
-Stanford: Less than 40%
-Wharton: 35% to 50%
-Columbia: 50% to 65%
-Kellogg: 50% to 65%
Sandy’s Analysis: “Hmmmm. There is a PhD cohort at Harvard,Wharton and Stanford, but it more often includes PhDs in biology, chemistry,computer science, etc. Given that you went to pharma, though, you might beconsidered in that cohort. A dirty secret here is where you got the PhD. Yousay ‘reputable program,’ but Harvard, Stanford and Wharton almost limit PhDadmits to top programs, so that is one issue. GPA is another. That combinedwith a degree in an off-track discipline like pharmacy could be a real cloud onyour application.
“I’d say chances at Harvard/Stanford are less than 50percent and at Wharton chances are 35% to 60% depending on execution and whatyou in fact do at that pharma company and how well you segue that into yourgoals. As for non-H/W/S schools, you are a maybe. They take guys like you,unless you’re just dishing out pills.”
H/W/S录取一定数量的博士，主要是生物、化学、编程、医药、等理科。
如果你的Pharm D is from很好的大学（Harvard, John Hopkins,UCSF），H/W/S可能不会录取你，因为你已经很强了。不过如果你在不错的学校读博（UCSD,Purdue），进H/W/S的可能性相比比较大。
先读PhD再读MBA有一个难点：如何解释为什么你要转行业、为什么你当初要读PhD。学校，还有你以后申请的公司，可能会以为你太喜欢大学环境了（书呆子）。
申请其它的学校，看运气。
Mr. Career Changer
-750 GMAT
-3.49 GPA
-Undergraduate degree in civil engineering from a goodstate school（不错的州立大学）
-3.70 Graduate GPA from same school (but did not finishthesis)（读硕，没有论文；或读博，没有写完论文）
-Recently launched a website on investing/economics and amath/physics educational channel on YouTube（有自己的网站和youku空间，做视频解说经济、投资、数、理）
-Extracurricular involvement includes significantleadership roles（很强的leadership）
-Speak three languages fluently（三语，熟练）
Odds of Success
-Harvard Business School: Less than 30%
-Stanford: Less than 30%
-CEIBS: 60% to 70%
-INSEAD: Better than 50%
-Brigham Young: 60% to 70%
Sandy’s Analysis: “This is a case where you havedone great things, but some things in the real world weigh much less on planetadcom. To wit, your YouTube lark, especially since you have zilch employmenthistory. Your website about “investing/economics” is another one of those ideasthat sound exciting but there are too many similar crackpot websites on bothinvesting and economics out there. And that is not a topic which screams out‘future leader,’ although it may scream out ‘future rich weird guy who owns asports team.’ Don’t get me wrong. I’m impressed, but schools may wonder if youare the type of guy who likes to do things alone in his room rather than withothers. I also am not seeing a clear need for an MBA here. What do you want todo? Do you really need an MBA?
“For those reasons, I am estimating your Harvard/Stanfordchances at less than 30%, unless you can put all this together in someconvincing and impactful way, which includes need for an MBA as part of thepicture. Other schools you mention might accept you based on the simple factthat you are probably smarter than their average student and might beinteresting to have around. Yes, dropping out of graduate school will be anegative. That confirms your ‘bad’ profile as a lone gunman. In your case,shooting stocks and YouTubes.”
没有工作经验：没有实际经验+not a team player
自己的网站和youku空间：不能取代工作经验
Ms. Peace Corps （和平组织）
-750 GMAT
-3.74 GPA
-Undergraduate degree from a near-Ivy public university
-Work experience as a Peace Corps business advisor inHonduras with two and one-half years as a strategy consultant with DeloitteConsulting（在洪多拉斯志愿实习过+Deloitte）
-Extracurricular involvement as a three-time All-Americanwomen’s rugby player and a one-time USA under-23 team member（英式橄榄: 国家队队员，somethinglike that）
-Minimal volunteering, but nothing too exciting.
Odds of Success
-Harvard Business School: Better than 50%
-Stanford: Better than 50%
-Wharton (Lauder program): 60%
-Chicago: 70% to 80%
-Kellogg: 60% to 80%
Sandy’s Analysis: “H/S/W could happen. You check allthe boxes, and everyone loves the Peace Corps. Also Deloitte is a known feederto the schools you’ve selected, especially the business analyst program. Andextraordinary athletic success is always a plus. Is Deloitte sponsoring you?”
GPA和GMAT很好。Under很有名。Peace Corps（HBS很喜欢）+DeloitteConsulting=很强的工作经验。Playing Sports = Hard working + Motivation +Competitiveness + Discipline 。女人。

差不多就这样。

1. Accomplishment
2. Competitiveness
3. Uniqueness
4. Diversity
