看到了，我拷贝过来：
Hi, for some reason I decided to search online and see what the potential applicant pool is next year. I am in the class that entered in 2010 full-time MBA. Some of the chatter on this forum is interesting and thought i'd add my 2 cents.
Regarding the general overall admissions thoughts and based on what i've read here, admissions is focused on having an extremely diverse school. Whether that be nationality, where you've lived/worked, the type of work you've done, etc. Therefore, if you are from Namibia or Uzbekistan, you're probably a shoe-in if you've had decent accomplishments so far. Additionally, you need to show a committment to Asia/China.
With regards to the focus on those students the school can place into jobs, I don't think that's much different than other schools, they're probably just more upfront about it here. HKUST is a finance school and will be for sometime. The consulting and remaining fields are mediocre at best, and HK is a finance city. So naturally the school is focused on those who they can help the most, generally in the finance field. Consultants usually don't get hired in Asia, due to the mentality of the local people growing up to follow others. Also Asian firms are more reluctant to hire consultants than in Western countries.
Lastly, the school is keen on promoting the name which is relatively little known outside of the chinese countries. So they are looking for people who will help be good promoters when they leave. Ranking is also important because of the lack of a brand name. Harvard, if it's ranked 10th will still be #1 for most people because the name is that good.
HKUST was just ranked 6th on the FT, and 9th last year, so I am hearing the applicant pool is very strong and much better than in recent years. Therefore, the application process is more waiting around, and strenuous than in years past because the school can be more selective. Good luck to all the applicants.
果真和我接到拒绝信后的感觉一致：拜错和尚了，他们是finance的。 |
