【求助】中介帮选的几所学校，请大家帮分析下

joanna3434

本人GPA2.5  托福80 G620

因为成绩和能力有限 所以从来没有想过争取什么名校top前50之类的

忘记和大家说 我是要申MBA   本科是学商的~~

我就想追求实际，既然不能上名气学校，那就花这些钱上一些质量好的学校 所以不太重排名

中介之后帮我选了几所，当面谈的时候 他怎么说我都觉得挺好
但回到家自己查，发现一点实际资料都没有 所以心里很没底啊

所以请大家帮我参考参考

路易斯安娜理工 194
俄勒冈州立  138（这所中介让我读预科）
西密歇根 181

剩下的没排名了

老道明大学（中介说质量很好，但我查不到很多资料）
德大阿灵顿分校

威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校

请大家帮我参考一下！ 谢谢

还有 100左右和之后的学校 有质量好的学校给我推荐的吗？？谢谢大家了

我本人注重地理位置和之后工作机会，当然最重要的是 这个学校是不是所谓的“野鸡”大学  中国学生给钱就去


还有一个迷思：是不是一个学校跟中国有很多合作，就不是很好?

Hey there!

Actually you are asking a lot of questions all bunched up in one. And I will happily share with you my thoughts. but first of all, I should mention that I don't yet have enough information to give you all the information you need. First of all, I don't know what sort of program you are aiming (this is very important), and I also don't know what your goals are! Just as important, is to think about what you REALLY want out of your university studies - what sort of program you want, what location preferences you have, what industry you want to work in afterwards, etc. etc.

You know, some schools, even if they aren't ranked very high, can have very strong departments in one one subject or a another, or perhaps because of location, can be advantageous to your goals, or disadvantageous, but it's hard to say exactly what is good regarding your school list above without knowing all of these items (and I should say, and this is VERY important - don't just believe your agent with no reason - they want you to get in because it's good for business, sometimes they don't care where you go. Only YOU can guide them where you want to go, and for what you want to do. And ultimately YOU need to do some basic research about these and other programs to decide if it fits you (and we can help of course! )

Now, regarding your specific profile, one thing I would suggest (esp. since you have time) is to study hard and retake the TOEFL - An 80 is quite low, and it might bring up big doubts about your ability to work in English (and limit the schools you can apply to). And I think the TOEFL is easier than the GMAT. Which if you have time, you should also consider retaking (The GMAT, I mean). I do understand that you want a good employment afterwards, but the problem is that everything is linked. To get a better employment it's better if you go to a higher-ranked school (in general, although there are many other factors), and to go to a better school, you need to have better grades!!!

Sooo, you do have time. And NOW is the time for you to work hard, harder than you have ever worked in your entire life, because this moment can change things for you a lot!

If you have any follow-up questions, just let me know, and I will be happy to answer.

我也是低GPA考生啊，G和T也和楼主差不多水平
现在申的学校里面有商排的就UT-Dallas和Corolado Boulder，
其他都是只有综排没有商排的，有Stony Brook, SIT, WPI, Clemson, IIT, UI-Chicago 和JHU

你是学什么的啊？ 我是要申MBA 你说的这些学校我也有看过 但中介说 有发邮件给他们 他们都委婉的拒绝我的GPA了。。。 ==  要不就是建议我读他们的双录取

别太担心gpa的问题， 我GPA 2.7几  拿到两个前五十的面试，最后去了个六十多名的学校。
