加入外国国籍对申请MBA有影响吗?

iChaseMyDream

大家觉得如果加入外国国籍, 比如欧盟, 对申请美国名校的MBA是有利还是有弊. 会因此对申请产生影响吗?

看到这个讨论和回帖，我禁不住在想，我们是不是把商学院申请看得太重了？为了申请商学院换国籍，真的应该是这样的priority么？

是不是应该换个角度，我们的职业发展打算做什么？在这条路上为什么需要MBA？换国籍除了申请MBA，还为了什么？

太纠结就不要换国籍了。
至少我没有看出来，换国籍对你有什么明显的帮助。
MBB的背景，加上用心的准备，加上这么多年的海外经历，我认为有很多故事可以讲。

Honestly, I think the only advantage with a foreign Passport would be the more favorable statistical quoate assign to the region versu the one assigned to China. Obviously the latter is way much more competitive. However, do keep in mind that most of B Schools or any Graduate Schools do look at your overall Education background, such as where you complete you Undergraduate Studies. Therefore, if you graduated from a average Chinese College with EU Passport, the Foreign Passport itself won't offer too much of edge for your application.

u mean that b-schools favor candidates from european countries?
may be true, because there are much fewer european applicants than chinese ones
btw, i finished both my undergraduate and graduate study in eu
and don't think, my academic backgrounds would be a matter, otherwise i wouldn't have joined mbb (pls don't understand me cocky)


i'm just indecisive, whether maintaining the chinese citizenship could have a beneficial impact on my application, because my working and studying experiences abroad in the last years are points, which could let me stick out of the masses, and i'm afraid of losing this plus by changing nationality...

我理解的是，对lz而言，无论中国的pool多么竞争激烈，像他这种毕业后就在欧洲的顶级咨询公司工作的中国人，几乎没有。所以保留中国国籍，对他申请可能还真是有利的。
而转国籍的话，直接跟该国MBB的申请者竞争，未必占最大的优势。

你说出我的心声啊
其实欧洲这边Top Consulting想去美国读MBA的并不多。本身是经济出身的一般都有欧洲的Master所以升值不大，工科出身的一般都去读博或者INSEAD速成１年的MBA了。美国除了 H和S，就连W在欧洲的名气都不是特别大
另外在欧洲MBB的中国人还是有一些的，大家比较低调，呵呵

每个学校allocate给外国的人数都不一样， 要看你加入的国籍是哪个国家的 并且那个国家的竞争是不是激烈。 一般来说还是美国国籍的竞争少些。。。

请问不入籍有绿卡算哪个pool啊？
