以下是引用天香国猪在2006-7-5 18:48:00的发言：I would say this does apply to the candidate with extroadinary background. Chinese with very good work experience and educational background should not worry about the GMAT score, as long as it is over 700. But how to make yourself Extroadinary is very important. I came to the states as international student, got my scholarship first, so the school asked me to pass the minimum requirement of GRE, which was 1100 (math+verbal). So what? Foe Science and Engineering majors, a lot of people do not need any exams to get the scholarships or assistanships. As long long as the professors need to find some people who can do research and work for them, they never care about T or G. I have seens a lot of examples that CHinese students directly went to US without any exams cause their domestic advisors recommended them to US profs. However, for MBA, story is different. If you take a look at the resumes of those admitted by top b-schools, you can easily find out that Chinese students profiles are just so so compared with their US counterpoaties. Why? Because in US, MBA degrees are the key to promotion while in CHina, probably not. As a result, a lot of US talents will treat MBA a necessary step in their career path while a lot of young CHinese may not think so. In my opinion, I do not think you can find many so-called extraordinary young people in CHinese applicants. Most of the applicants will just have similar so-so backgrounds. Then, how to distinguish yourself from this similar pool? first, essays; second, recommendations; third, GMAT. Of course you may still have chances to go to good schools without a decent G score, but a low G will make your application more tough. As far as I know, G is the easiest part in applicaiton. For any person with 2 months' training, he./she can easily hit 750. So why not spend more time in G to get a decent score? |
