WL by Wharton,纠结篇

第一次在论坛主动发文,心里比较乱,想听听大家的意见。

我的背景:

G 690(考了2次,都是这个鸡肋分), T 107,国内二流本科; 国内TOP 2 计算机硕士,GPA都是88/100

W/E:到入学为4年多

行业:医药

申请了5所学校,都是R2:Wharton,Kellogg,MIT,Emory,Rotman(Toronto)。由于G分不高,子奚一开始就说top 10没戏,我那时还是相信G只是一个很小的部分,我还是相信自己的实力。W,K是我的dream school,自己觉得特别match。MIT是对语言没有要求,觉得sloan在这点上很open mind,其实现在想想和自己并不match。Emory本想用来保底(汗!),而且也看中人家奖学金给的爽快。Rotman是想实在不行移民加拿大了。

怪我自己,Emory是第一个面试,由于出差改成电话面,在电话里说特没感觉,结果只有WL

MIT直接被拒

Rotman给了offer,但没奖学金,4月13要答复

Wharton,真的是dream school 啊,而且有强烈的原因为什么要去,可是今天早上一刷邮箱,说状态已经update了,当时心里一沉,就怕是拒信。结果是WL

Kellogg,春节期间说我的面试被waive了,当时想完了。很久之后又邀请电话面试。现在还没消息。

让我纠结的是:我年龄快30了,还没生小孩。。。本想如果拿到W或者K的offer,那就义无反顾去读书,先生也很支持。但现在W的offer没来,大家说谁会把W的offer拒了空出一个位子来呢,除非同时拿到H的?K的offer也不知道在哪里呢。只有加拿大的。大家出出主意,我是今年就走,去加拿大呢,还是再申一年,顺便生个小孩呢?

如果今年被W给WL了,第二年申W录取的可能性有多大?

谢谢版上各位牛人了!

个人认为:工作经历的质量是关键。你最好多谈谈工作的核心内容(比如leadership,teamwork,creativity,accomplishment,etc),同时你的career goal和截止目前的career path。

如果有说错的地方,请别介意。我也只是一个申请者,也在学习阶段。

谢谢gaoj,你的id和我一个朋友的名字很像。

我的essay说实话没经过太多的polish,但写得很真实,都是我在工作上的成就和内心的真实想法。还有一点让我纠结的是工作:

我现在的公司曾在过去给过我很多机会,比如国外工作1年多,两次promotion,但我觉得在现在公司继续发展的空间不大了。有另一家公司,500强,要给offer,工资可能会不错。现在正纠结要不要去。

1,如果今年不走,明年再申W,那我可以跳槽,顺便继续攒点学费,生个小孩。但明年形式怎样真不好说,没准经济危机的影响,还有一大批牛人申请者。

2,如果今年去加拿大,到可以试着移民,一下解决身份问题。但跳槽去新公司就不厚道了。而且我这辈子基本是告别dream school了。之所以想去W、K,也不仅因为是dream school,也和我的长期职业发展有关,如果去Toronto,能实现我职业目标的可能性小了些

同被 WL ......patpat吧

G: 740, T: 100  如果到入学就有7年工作经验了。可能有点太老了:(

我是第二次申请了,第一次直接被拒,这次又是一步之遥.....也许不只一步吧。

espanol_chen,谢谢,我做出版的,对商学院来说可能也是比较边缘的行业吧。

1. GMAT on the low side
usually top school requires 80% math 80% verbal, which translates into
math 47 verbal 36, total ~690
I assume your math > 47 then your verbal is too low.
esp you did undergraduate in a tier 2 school in china, your GMAT became more important
suggestion: retake, try to get >=730

2. why you did not choose HSM of duke? or the healthcare program at owen, or WUSTL.

Now, it is generally believed that re-applicant to Wharton does not have any advantage any more.

Essay is very very important. LOR is very very important also.

Hi wharton2009, thanks for the suggestion.

1. You are right. I will definately retake if I am to re-apply. Maybe I was too confident with my working experience and accademic accomplishment in my graduate study, so even with a low GMAT I still felt comfortable with Wharton.

2. Duke and Owen simply are not my targeting schools. Return of Investment wise, I just applied M7 and those schools who are likely to give big scholarship yet still have a good reputation and ranking.

If you count a lot on your WE, make sure you can tell good stories in essays.

BTW, I am a little surprised that you did not pick Fuqua because of ROI. Seems that 医药 is paying very well.
