2014商学院申请记录

lema2012

来美国快7年了，读完法学院，当了三年多的律师，我决定申请商学院。开贴记录一下自己的申请过程，同时和正在申请中的xdjm们相互鼓励。最想去的学校是Stanford Business School，两年前去过一次stanford，红顶黄墙的美丽校园，学生骑着自行车在校园里穿梭，觉得那是一个充满活力和各种可能性的学校。

目前全职，考完GMAT，开始准备申请材料。今天是结婚两周年纪念日，和老公吃完晚饭，一个人来到咖啡店研究学校。

Stanford is also my dream school, and I'm planning to submit my application in round 1. But I couldn't go study in libraries as I have two kids.... hopefully being a mother would help rather than hurt my chances.

我想知道中国人在美国当律师 现在的情况是如何的  是不是还是主要服务于华人社区？ 移民第一代进入TOP FIRM的可能性有多大？

The law school is pretty tough, long hours and stressful. The legal practice varies. I am working as an in-house attorney so it's not that bad. However, I think if you love your job, you won't complain even for long hours. If you don't like your job, even sitting there for a few hours a day is a waste of time.

周末给一个在斯坦福的朋友打电话了解商学院的情况，我这种背景申商学院的还是很少，大部分都是国内顶级投行 ...

I think you have a strong background for mba application. I have a question, how hard is the law school in US and a life of a lawyer? Worse than banker?

有一阵子没有上来跟新了，最近忙着看学校的信息，联系人了解情况。有时候会问自己是不是要多申请几所，如果申请不上怎么办，难道就一定要申请商学院？
论坛上有人推荐Ray Dalio写的《Principles》，读完后最大的收获就是问自己“what is my goal?” ，自认为是个执行力很强的人，但有时要回过头看看当初设定的方向。还在反思中。。。
