名校讀不讀,超難選擇題

betty145cyt

本人很幸運的在一星期前收到Cornell MBA的admission.

雖然Cornell是我的dream school.但心中一直有很大的障礙

深怕自己的能力根本沒辦法駕馭Cornell的MBA program

情況是: 我分別被幾間排名20~40不等的學校拒絕了

這讓我更懷疑自己.到底Cornell為什麼錄取我.

加上我還有幾間排名約30~40的學校未放榜.例如U of Iowa. Vanderbilt U

我一直在思考.如果這幾間學校我也上了.我是不是應該退一步選擇比較適合我程度的學校

請問大家如果面臨到和我一樣的問題.大家會如何選擇?

1.不管再辛苦.學校已經給我admission了.在累也要去唸

2. 割捨名校迷思.還是去念適合自己的學校會比較快樂.畢竟MBA出來後還是看自己有學到什麼東西.而不是靠名校就可以找到好工作

以上兩個選擇.請大家給我一點意見...非常感謝!!

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your response! You're right! I should at least give it a try. I shouldn't be afraid of failure since I could perceive some valuable experience from it.

Hey,

Whether you choose to go to Cornell or any other school is no guarantee of success. You're right, you may just as easily fail if you go to Cornell. But especially since you're going to fail anyway, you might as well do it, relax, enjoy the ride, and don't worry too much

I went to Wharton with a pretty poor resume. Didn't get even first-round interviews for any of my targeted jobs (consulting). But then sometimes failure is a blessing.. I was able to start focusing on and enjoying doing other things- classes, socialising, looking beyond the business school (UPenn and Cornell have great schools outside of Wharton and Johnson!), joining more clubs, and so on, and it's been a blast!

You may find that failures in certain respects, can be the blessing you need, to get a lot out of the business school experience that others may not be able to do. Now I'm not doing consulting, but I'm doing something even better- I'm doing the exact thing that I wrote I'll do in my business school essays. Life works in mysterious ways

Good luck,
Jason

好学校的定义也在于教授的水平更高，这也包括更加贴合学生的水平，更加生动易懂，更加能让你觉得学的容易，课余更加容易找到教授讨论。。。所以往往名校MBA比较容易学到东西。

MBA没什么难念的，LZ无须犹豫。

这个学校的酒店管理很好的。。学校会很冷所在的地方，不过很温馨的一个小镇，距离水牛城很近，里面的农学也不错。呵呵

努力去读吧, 千辛万苦拿了个AD, 还用想吗?
Cornell 可真是 top school 呀

我觉得lz应该对自己有自信,说白了,都是fit的问题,Cornell发现了你可贵的潜力，他的判断是不会有错的～
至于‘驾驭’，我觉得机会既然给了你，那就更应该好好珍惜，上学校的网站，找同学，校友分别了解他家的MBA有什么要求，需要做什么前期准备，你都做到了，就自然可以搞定了～还有充足的时间，you can work this out!

謝謝逸水...你說的對.這個機會我該好好珍惜.並且做自己最大的努力

我之前自己在想的時候總是往壞方向鑽.走不出自己思想的死胡同

你的提點真的有幫助到我!

betty145cyt

感謝抬舉...但實話說

我的面試很差...面試官問了很多我沒準備的問題

例如問我說你畢業後想去xx公司上班.請問你有沒有先對xx公司進行了解的動作

我實話實說的跟他說...沒有

還有很多題都答的不好.所以看到結果的那天.我真的有驚訝到

不過在此也算是鼓勵面試表現不好的人.只要結果還沒出來都有機會

畢竟我自己為面試表現不錯的學校都沒有上...

LZ很强啊，而且估计essay和面试也很强。别瞎琢磨了。you belong to cornell.

lz能不能分享一下背景啊

我正在想申R3    THANKS!
