以下是引用jinshi628在2005-7-5 11:25:00的发言: 首先感谢各位前辈如此关心小弟的前途.坛子里的本科,硕士,有超强工作背景的,能上哈佛是不少,但象我这样的经历,坛子里恐怕只有我一个,我很有信心的,昨天,有朋友建议我应该通过介绍自己先联系导师,说如果我的工作经验够吸引那里得导师。让他觉得我的经历与众不同,在MBA研究方面有发展潜力,只要他决定接受我。让我再决定考试,这样把握更大。所以与其先考试不如先确定导师和信息。才更有效.但是,我现在的英文表达能力不足以清晰的将自己与众不同的经历表达出来,着急啊. 另外,我大概查了一下资料全世界申请hbs的人去年将近9000人,录取比例12:1,是很残酷.但是这其中有多少是开过网站,但他们有多少是在第三世界国家,有多少在25岁以下,又有多少的网站有相当规模呢,这是年初芝加哥的一位教授告诉我的,宗上所述,我还是很有信心的,各位前辈对小弟还有什么建议,请多多指教,小弟不胜感激,谢谢
sorry, i think you really know very little about MBA. MBA is nothing to do with research. and nothing to do with specific professors. you don't need to get personal contact with professors....
furthermore, i don't think to launch a dot com company in a third world could be respected as highly in adcom's view as what you expect, even if your company is quite successful. there is handful persons out there who are doing their starup pretty successful. you just don't know them, not representing they do not exist. I myself am an entreprenuer....a schoolmate once ran a dot come company during internet boom and sold it out right before dot com crash. she cashed in 10 million RMB. At that time, she was 24. ...
I am in no way discouraging you. on the other hand, i really admire your ambition. But ambition only works when it could be implemented with realistic plans. do you have such plans? do you know who needs an MBA? MBA, even harvard MBA, is never for those people who truely stand out. They just don't need that brandname to impress others, they are already there. to believe or not, at least in my circle, people going harvard are never those da niu. Da Niu upon whom we all agree never need an MBA. By saying that, I have no offend to those MBA aspirants. I myself one of them...
there are possiblity for you to get into harvard (the popular saying, impossible is nothing). given you could prove how successful your startup is, how smarter you are than your peers, and your will definitedly be a successful man, with or without MBA, etc, etc, harvard may like you. but before doing that, i still suggest you to check out the admission guideline on their website, at least you have to fulfill their bottom requirement, do you? |
