Hi,
I'm a senior majoring in logistics management, and will graduate in June 2013.
GMAT 710+4.5;  TOEFL 101;  GPA 3.69/5.0
no full time working experience, but a 3-month full time internship in logistics department
I'll appreciate it if you can answer my following questions:
1. Is there any weakness do you suggest I explain in the optional essay?
2. how much does working experience matter for this program?
3. what kind of student is this program looking for?
4. how many students do you plan to accept in 2013 fall?

I'm now in a 2-year graduate trainee program of the company, as I mentioned before, a U.S motor company. For applying the 2014 program with 2 years experience like this. Would I choose MBA or Master?

Hello,
I have a B.A degree from one of the top 10 university in mainland China,  majored in logistics management.
1. My GPA is 3.3, and very active when in the shool yard.
2. Now I am working in an U.S F500 motor company located in China in the department of logistics.
3. Yet the work is not so related to the supply chain management.  It's more like ERP system analyst.  
4. Positive thing is that I'm doing programs and I can rotate in the department next year.
  I want to apply 2014 fall. Will the backgrond help me to apply to the SCM master program?

to Alison :why did you choose MS rather than MBA?

Dear Mr. Cohen,

I'm an undergraduate student who will gradua

hahawina

Hello,
I graduated this May in United States and now taking a full-time job at one Top500 enterprise in China, also I am an intern reporter work for CFLP(China Federation of Logistics & Purchasing).
I majored in Electrical Engineering, having GRE 640+800, GPA 3.67/4, and several intermittent economic internships.
I got some confusions wish you could clarify:
1. Does the GRE have the same effectiveness as GMAT?
2. Does every current student has the free access to the Supply Chain Lab?
3. Is there any part-time job for SCM students?
4. What should I do for preparation or improvement?
Thanks for your understanding, concern and help.
