[选校求助]新人MBA 选校求助

fadeday

大家好， 楼主翻了很多学校网页，收集了很多信息，选择学校的时候仍然手足无措，请大家帮忙~ 感激不尽

背景
本科：国内普通二本大学英语专业毕业 非211非985   GPA:3.4
工作：毕业即在加拿大公司Manulife运营后台支持部门工作了4.6年 辞职时职位是运营主管
（辞职后就已经有申请MBA想法，但那时候是申请小白，不知轻重，留下了一段employment gap)
GMAT:700   TOEFL: 105

职业规划：
其实我的想法很简单，Finance行业或者Consulting行业都不Matter，我只是想做一名职业经理人，和更多牛人一起共事很多著名的Project或者开发出很多很棒的产品，制造行业都可以的啊。累积更多的资金和人脉networking后，到一定程度我想试试创业。目前创业的大概模式只是停留在一个点子上。


学校方面：
现在只考虑加拿大和美国，我特别喜欢团队氛围很强的学校，有很多很好的商业Project可以试水。当然毕业后能够在加拿大或美国工作个三四年最好，最终我肯定会回国的。只是更多地看看跨国企业总部的运作。其他课业方面啊，地点方面完全没关系。

谢谢大家！祝大家圣诞快乐~

个人感觉LZ的career goal不够明确，不够细化。。。

不过要是创业的话，以目前的BG，Babson应该是木有问题的

谢谢你啊 请问BG是哪所学校啊？ 细化是指要细化到哪个行业吗？

BG是background的abbreviation。

要具体哪个industry, 什么function, 你的career goal是要说服AO来录取你的，太泛会让人觉得申请哪所学校都行

Hey there,
So your profile is pretty good. You come however from a  very competitive pool of candidates where there are likely to be candidates with better test scores, schools, or jobs. If you are applying to Canadian B-schools, you will be at a distinct advantage, since they are easier to get into than US B-schools, and for the most part you could apply to top schools. For the US anything in the Top10 is out of range, and likely your sweet spot will be in the 10-30 range.

The first thing though at this point is to think about WHEN to apply. If you haven’t yet started applying this year, it might be a bit late, and you should think about an application next year.

Keep in mind though, that being unemployed at the time of application is a relatively big disadvantage, and you should be filling your time now with other activities.

Best,
Jon Frank

楼主我和你一样
想通过更高阶的学历实现变得优秀
但是具体要干什么，追求什么，这方面还是没想得很清楚
MBA的申请过程，包括很多面试问题，好像就是要逼着自己想清楚，WHY/HOW

Hey there,
Well keep two things in mind here:
1. The higher ranked programs, generally have higher prestige
2. Consulting jobs you can get everywhere, but finance tends to recruit only in specific schools and is often location-based (north east and North Carolina for credit card firms)

I think the best thing for you to do is to look which companies recruit at which schools and to target those, and also to think about location - which schools and regions appeal to you PERSONALLY.

I hope this helps!
Best,
Jon Frank
