请教前辈们，只有两年的工作经验是否是不能逾越的硬伤？

蒙其D石头

今年24岁，毕业两年工作两年。

是否无论GT多高，都有硬伤。

已经决定无论如何要申请了，请问可以大概申到怎样的学校呢？


非常感谢！！

Well, if you have been working for two years, then you will have three years at the time of matriculation, which is a bit on the low side, but still not too bad, especially if you had some good work experience. The important thing to be aware is that you are willingly giving yourself a slight disadvantage, but if your time is now, then your time is now! Can you overstate your job content? or lie? No. Never. You gotta tell the truth. You can use methods to make the truth seem a bit more impressive than it is, but every word you write has got to be true.

Jon - 一个问题想问你。我准备13年fall，不过因为工作年限短，还不能完全负担学费。想申请奖学金，不过如果申请不到。想到问一下美国的学校给国际学生申请loan吗？如果有的话，我们要怎么担保呢？是要找一个当地的cosigner吗？谢谢！

HEY good question! Well you have a few options, but mostly its a combination of scholarships and loans. Depending on the school, you may or may not need a co-signer depending on the loan, the program, etc. Take a look at the Wharton page on Loans which gives you a good start: http://www.wharton.upenn.edu/mba/admissions/loan-programs.cfm

Otherwise for scholarships, you will get a scholarship basically if the school REALLY wants you to attend and is afraid that maybe you will go somewhere else. What does that mean? That you will likely get scholarships if either your profile is VERY strong or if you apply to schools which are a bit less ranked than the best schools you can get into. So for example, someone who might juuuuust get into Duke, might get a scholarship to Olin. So you need to take this into consideration when building your strategy about which schools to apply to.

看到LZ的那句无论如何今年都要申请了，看起来决心还挺大，想问一句LZ想读MBA的动机是什么，现在从事的是什么行业，涉及一些什么样的工作，毕业后想从事什么样的行业，这些问题有没有思考成熟？

其实没人能够绝对化的说LZ的短工作经验能或者不能申请，就算完全没有工作经验的本科毕业生也能申也有能拿到offer的，只是相比一般有4-6年工作经验的申请人来说，短工作经验的申请人在这方面就有了一定的劣势，或者说需要通过其他方面的突出优势来弥补这部分的缺失

更重要的问题还在于是否想明白为什么要读这个书，是不是真的需要去读，读了以后去做些什么，过早的投入这个过程可能会让原本良好的职业发展轨迹受到影响，错过更深入更全面了解自己所在行业和工作的知识、技能和感悟，这也会影响到是否能从之后的MBA学习当中最大化收获的问题

T105相对是件容易的事情，但G750就不一定是了，LZ可以趁时间早把考试考了，同时想想这些问题

到入学你就应该3年了，理论上ok。不过还是要看你所在行业。一般投行，咨询的3年比较容易录取

pigman007

2L的例子可不是一般人能够模仿的，一个应该很好的美本加上在美国工作。还有之后所做的努力

bigjoe

到入学为止3年比较好。你如果现在申请的话，那你明年入学就正好3年了，可以。

我觉得太早了，你还没搞明白职场需要什么，你有什么，能做到什么，做不到什么的时候，读MBA太早了。进了名校到公司一样从头干起，那时候你的压力比你大学生毕业时候的压力要大的多，可你还不知道怎么应付。

申请，录取不是很难的事，我觉得难的是毕业之后的事~

蒙其D石头

其实目前还在考

目标是G750，T105

还有我想问一下，现在工作的一些情况，在材料中如果有一些夸大或者不完全是真实情况的内容，是否可以呢？
