放弃Master录取，想明年申MBA，求定位

51N10W · 发表于 2012-5-9 08:38:41

LZ本来一直混迹于Master版，今年申了8个美国学校的SCM，7个AD，1个WL。但思来想去觉得花50万去念一个master有点太贵，又正好有学姐问我为何不直接申MBA，我独自考虑也得不出个结果，所以来这里问问各路大神和过来人的意见。

我的背景：
本科上海211学校，GPA83.5，在校期间去美国做过5个月左右类似summer job的工作，但与专业无关，顶多在PS里面带过一两句丰富一下背景。

今年夏天会去新加坡念一个工科硕士，目的是补强知识范围，获取必要的工程和数理知识以求在供应链上更好的发展。

相关工作经验三年，一年在汽车行业世界500强，两年在全球知名电脑硬件行业。三年的经验比之很多动辄五六年，多则十余年的大牛来说，在申请上处于绝对的劣势。不过我个人觉得在PS里还是能写出点内容的。

GT方面。T104。GMAT没考，考的是新GRE，分数不高，154+169+4.5，不知道如何跟GMAT比较。

我目前的申请目标暂定MSU、PSU、UMD、Iowa、Baylor这五所，不知道有没有希望？或者大牛认为我应该从哪里加强背景？

顶一下，不知道谁能给点建议。

Well, whether you should go fro an SCM or an MBA depends upon your needs of course! And your goals. Are you focusing more on the technical side of things? Is this your strength? Is this what you love? Or would you prefer to move on over to the business side of things? Or start your own firm?
You need to make the decision based on what type of professional career fits you and your skills best.
If your intention is to apply to an MBA, the schools you have chosen can be good for you, but I can't say entirely until you have gotten your GMAT. But let's say that if you can score 20 points over their average of more, you will likely be in pretty good shape.Hope this helps

申八上七相当牛阿！
到入学前再多两年就达平均了
211 gpa又高
若还有硕士就超平均了

敢问本科念的是什么专业？ summer job做的是什么？
为什么想走scm?
三年经验分别在这些产业里是做scm吗
为何不念scm master却要去拿新加坡个工硕？
是跟本科不合吗？还是学程短？

Mba要写的是essay
强校还有MIT, ASU, Purdue
Iowa跟Baylor都看似没有scm资源

Hi Jon, thanks a lot for your reply. After working in the SCM field for 3 yrs, I find the technical skills are of great importance. However, my undergraduate study was very abstract. So, I want to acquire useful quantitative methods and knowledge of risk management/decision models. These skills will definitely diversify my background and fit with my strengths. That's why I decide to attend an engineering programme in a prestigious university in Singapore this fall. But in the long-run, I want to be a supply chain leader. So, I am considering the application to an MBA program featured in SCM field upon graduation from the Master program.

我GPA不高，折算下来才3.32而已。本科就是物流的，学得很泛，工作经历也全是供应链相关的，concentration在计划这块，所以想先读一个价钱不贵的工科硕士拓展一下数量背景，以后发展选择面可能会更广一点。essay的话，今年申master也写过不少，我觉得我思路还算是比较清楚的，所以不会没东西可写。相中baylor是因为它的MBA很便宜，而且是和engineering joint的。

Lz已具备丰富scm经验
若需要量化决策、供应链，与领导管理
有间量化决策超强的MBA叫CMU Tepper
供应链与作业管理、甚至前端市场营销
只要牵得上量化分析的它都行
可同时取得量化训练、供应链管理决策、组织领导
两年就可以直接取代原本计划的工硕+MBA共三年
立马省一年，这样工作年资跟收入一正一负就差了两年
可以看一看

嗯，CMU是挺厉害的，不过我也觉得我现在这个背景是很难申上的，更不用说奖学金了。

Leadership is definitely along thelines of an MBA. IF you feel you have mastered the technical side of things, orthat it excites you less than leading people within SCM, then an MBA isdefinitely more appropriate for you, as you are likely to already have most ofthe technical knowledge you will need along the line, but the leadership andgeneral management skills and knowledge, are what you can pick up through anMBA. Good luck my friend
