以下是引用liuruilaura在2007-4-25 23:04:00的发言:我当时申请UCSD, 主要是因为有三个考虑: 1、我不喜欢美国的中西部,不好找工作。UCSD在加州名声不错,第一届学生还没毕业,但是internship placement 是100%;而且San Diego有很多生物科技、制药公司,还有高通,可以找一个高科技公司的corporate finance的工作,没有投行、咨询那么累、那么竞争激烈。 2、San Diego很漂亮,气候好,可以学冲浪。 3、我以为UCSD是新开的program, 应该奖学金多多,觉得可以拿个奖学金去念,那么不去top school也罢了,没想到人家还没给我。 现在痛苦的不得了,这么多年一直跑来跑去,也没有男朋友,如果抱着出国的目的,很难有时间交往。我爸妈看着我都烦,没有自己的生活,没有男朋友,忙完工作忙申请。但是10万美金去UCSD, 是否有些不值呢?这个风险系数还是蛮大的。 1. Internship placement number could be misleading. The school could place the students in non-profit organizations (who are always looking for help) or research positions at the school. You'll also be competing with students from other well-known programs, Anderson for example. I personally believe that it'll take at least a few years for UCSD to establish their position in the business world. 2. Can you get feedback from any of the schools that rejected you? Get someone else to look over your entire application and see what is missing? It'll at least give you an idea of what to expect if you do reapply next year. 3. It may be time to think about why MBA, why now again. Can UCSD give you everything you're expecting out of the program? If no, would you be willing to compromise? The average ages for both Wharton and Kellogg MBA students are 28. 31 probably won't even get you out of 1 SD. I won't worry about it. As for your mentality (痛苦的不得了), that's for you to adjust after you make a decision. My parents don't always agree with my choices but I am living my own life. Good luck! |
