well guys, I'm really not sure what to share with you since the experience was quite the same with everyone else's. When I apply, I had only worked fulltime post graduate for about two years. My strong point is that I had a small business of my own. I came to US at the age of 16 as a student and supported myself though college, so you see I had lot's of interesting things to say about myself, but nothing truly exceptional. I took GMAT last year in the end of November,applied Round II, spent six sleepless nights wrote 20 some essays. ( I was applying to three MBA and three other PHD programs). Did't even bother to proof read or to get others to read my essays. Submitted my files about 30 mins before deadline. (Oh, I later found that there were several very funny, careless mistakes I made in the essays. So you see, it's your thought process that matters the most, not your grasp of English). Eventually interviewed by all schools, accepted by Wharton, waitlisted by Stanford, and very oddly rejected by MIT. I was also accepted by another PHD program. So there was a tough struggling stage between Wharton and PHD, but the moment I arrived at Wharton campus to see the complex and talked with program director, I was convinced that Wharton was for me. So you see, you never know. Give it try, it won't hurt except the $200 application fee. However, by going through the whole process you will likely learn more about yourself than in any other events in your life. I would love to help you 螺旋霉素, but my school already started and it's getting really hectic and out of control with all these activities going on. But I hope my above post will help. |
