Hi,PSU:

        Do you know whether it is difficult to find a job in the USA and stay there after graduation from smeal?

By the way, the ranking of Smeal is not in the Top50, does it disadvantage the future career? And is it worthing to study? By the way, I know it is strong in supply chain management. is this subject worthing to study?

Hi,

1, As far as I know, almost all Chinese graduates from SMEAL got jobs in US if they determined to do so. The job market in US this year is better than that of previous years, so I believe it will be even easier to secure a  job. An important trend in most recent years for MBA's from China was to go back China. Many feel that they would develop themselves faster in fast growing China. Another point of doing so was to avoid glass ceilings of career development.

2, SMEAL remains in Top 50 according to most of important rankings. Disadvantage? I don't think so. Yes, SMEAL's strength in supply chain is well-known. However, that is not the only shining point. SMEAL's finance and marketing are strong too.

3, Supply chain is comparatively new to China's industries, so knowing more in SCM will provide you with more competitive advantage. Is supply chain a good portfolio to devote to? I believe the answer will be based on your own choice. Do you want a career in SCM or not?

I hope this response answered your questions. If you have further questions, please post them here. I will try my best to answer them. Good luck!

Which school is better if i want to go to finance: michigan state U, ohio state U or penn state U,

another question is in the second year do u pay in state tuition or out state tuition

thx

Penn State!

To be honest with you, SMEAL's finance is really strong, although it may not match those big name top schools. The faculties are very knowledgable and have strong experience in both academics and businesses. You can find alumni and employers in almost every parts of U.S., especially in Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. I feel what we learnt here in finance is really really solid and that will surely prepare SMEAL graduates well enough to start new careers. If you are looking for big names, SMEAL may not be a right place for you. (I believe one day it will be one of the big names too.)As wise finance people, we should comapre ROIs. And SMEAL is the place that offers great ROI.

As for the second year tuition, if you are paying out state tuition in first year, you will pay out state tuition in second year too. Good luck!

Dear PSU,

I intend to apply for MBA of your school this year. When I review application materials I have some questions, could you help clarify:

• Per Financial statement, I have bought a house in China, can the copy of real estate ownership certificate be a finanicial statement proof?
  
• I am preparing for on line submission, I want to know if some off -line documents like financial statement or official GMAT/TOEFL score sheet are nesessary before deadline. I am now asking bank and ETS to prepare the documents to send SMEAL, I cannot promise if they can arrive just before Dec 1st. If they are late for the deadline, will SMEAL still accept my application as round 1?   
  

Your answer will be highly apprecaited.

Orangekitty,

这两天有点忙，现在才回答你的问题，不好意思。

我是两年前面试的，但据我对学校的了解，面试问的问题应该变化不大。以下是我认为很有可能问到的问题。

1,  Why MBA?

2,  Why Penn State?

3, 用实例来说明你在以前工作学习中展示的领导能力。

4，你是怎么认识团队精神的。举一个你在团队中成功工作的例子。

5，你取得的最大成就是什么。

6，你认为自己最大的弱点是什么。

7，你的职业发展规划是怎样的. 5年以后／10年以后

大概就是这类的问题，很BEHAVIOR BASED，如果你在中国的话，多半是电话面试，半个小时到45分钟，气氛应该不紧张，面试前把自己的简历和ESSAYS多看几遍，不要让面试官觉得他/她比你还熟就行了。嘿嘿。。。

hi,

1, I believe real estate ownship certificate will not be considered as a financial statement by the shool. But it's helpful to show your bond to home country when you interview with visa officers.

2, I think as long as the online application package is done by Dec.1, you will be considered as Round 1. I will ask our admissions managers and come back to you.By the way, I didn't see you mention your transcript and recommendations. When you send out the package, don't forget them please.

PSU,

Thanks a lot for your clarification. I will complete all necessary information on line except off line financial statement. Hope it will not impact my application process.

BTW:  When I requested my TOEFL/GMAT score report through ETS, I filled in department code 00 for undergraduate program not 02 for management school. Is it a big problem?

Thanks again for your help on this.
