[公告]大江东去，浪涛尽，千古MBA applicants...

写在前面的话：

望本贴可以帮助VISA失败的朋友走出“I am sorry" 的阴影，满怀热情的加入re-applicantion 的洪流（不是盲流）；

望本贴可以帮助 first-time applicant 在此得到 re-applicant 的经验与帮助（这也是Thursday Club 的宗旨之一)。


To those who failed in American VISA application in 2003:


经过了2003 年不眠的夏夜，许多人的VISA application 不幸最终以denial 收场。GMAT 冲刺时的辛苦，选校时茫然，essay-revision 时的枯燥，得到Admission letter 时的狂喜以及被一拒再局后的悲哀，都随这瑟瑟的秋风及时光默默地转移而悄然融化。

转眼冬天就要来了，这个冬天你做些什么？冬眠么？面对明年的签证，我们是否真的只有无奈与等待？



My dear friends:

I sincerely feel sorry for your experience at  American embassy, especially at秀水。一个动听的名字，宛如美女一般，却承载了太多的悲哀与无奈！

But we never say die, don’t we?  As another year of application is coming, what is your plan for this year？Apply for better schools?  Change jobs? Move to another city?  We must have some preparation for next year’s VISA!  

We cannot simply wait but rather knock the opportunity’s door, because she never knocks yours.

To more effectively utilize this year and prevent some from feeling lonely (sure! It is a long and one-way road!), I propose to set up a Thursday Club (Actually, some people have already put forward such an idea well before me).

The purpose of T Club:
1. to help people failed in VO to collect ideas and brainstorm
2. Collect positive information for VO well before the application next year
3. Provide ideas for first time MBA applicants

Requirement to join the Club (Almost same with BJ AND, I admire Jeremy’s plan):
1. confidentiality:
to successfully help one another, the personal information will be shared among members and should not be released to non-members.
For example, I bet at least a dozen people know who is Valentine. But they all dutifully keep this secret for me. Here, I sincerely thank them!  Otherwise, I have lost my job.
2. commitment:
do not let VISA application crash yourself. regard the application as a game, but play it seriously. we will have fun, we have clearer thinking about application, and we will sharp presentation skills….
3. contribution:
mutual help will bind us together. we will act roles both as interviewers and interviews. (to understand the mentality of interviews will definitely help to your to communicate freely with your real interviewer.)
Want to join T Club? just let me know by either writing to me valentiney2002[在] yahoo.com or replying to this message.
Frankly speaking, I have no detailed ideas about how to increase the possibility of next year’s VISA application.  I do warmly welcome any suggestion and ideas!
Best luck to you all!  God bless us, for we DESERVE God’s blessings!

I plan to build T-Club into a national one.  I need your help.  We all need help from one another, don't we?

Join T-Club, you lose nothing, but win your dream!

Yours truly
Valentine

Lanlan,

Just let you know that I've communicated with Valentine and we agreed that we may form one group. But we need to talk about it in details when she/he come back to BJ.

lanlan:

We can set up a new team.  Jeremy has told me that his team is big enough.  He would add too many people there.

If we need, we can create one.  I will call Kimberley this night and have a discussion.
