International backgound is always a plus. And graduate GPA weighs much less than undergraduate GPA in your application. So if you manage to write a good story about your career and give appropriate explaination about your graduate GPA,providing you have a decent GMAT score, you should have a fairly good chance to get into top 10.

your college gpa is so high, .......don't worry, the adcom said they look more closely at undergraduate school gpa. just make sure you have some grounds to justify your low graduate school gpa, as what you said, new language hurdles, new environment, etc.

Thanks a lot for sharing your ideas.

Anyway, I feel better now. After reading the CD's interviews of the successful applicants, I find out that all respects including your academic background, your G/T scores and your working experiences are very important in the applying process, any one of them can be the key factor.

But personally, the self-confidence should be the first thing in your heart, if you can conquer yourself, how can you convince others?

So, I won't have any fears about this kind of stuff.

The French like to say 'C'est la vie'. It means ‘that's life’. Somebody thinks of if as the symbol of helplessness when facing to the difficult situation. In my opinion, this phrase shows human being's open-minded. Life is going on. Pre-MBA or post-MBA, it's only one period in your life. The point is that we have chosen this way, so just go through it with your brave heart.

I appreciate this phrase and like to share it with you - Life is tough, but I am tougher.

So good luck to everybody, and enjoy your reborn process.

还有一样可能会有些帮助,既然LZ不是急着申请,可以考虑在工作之余在附近的COMMUNITY COLLEGE读个一门课/一学期,这样2-3个学期也就是一年以后,你等于为自己建立了一个比硕士更UPDATE的ALTERNATIVE TRANSCRIPT. 估计LZ也是N人,如果目标锁定TOP 10的话,就不要冒任何的风险,象学校解释一个POOR MASTER GPA,还不如证明你是如何挑战困难,在同样的环境里面取得进步,最后还能象学校显示你对读MBA的诚意.

ok, if someone like to learn french, no problem, just i can try my best to tell funny things.

Let's go,lesson one : BONJOUR whose similar chinese prononciation is 笨猪. It means hello or good morning, a little official or polite to show respect.

Lesson tw Salut whose chinese prononciation is 傻驴, means hi, often used between friends.

另外,多谢斑竹的建议,至少在essay里面应该是有内容可以发挥的，其实就我个人的经历来说的话，我的体会是 be yourself,毕竟没有人的经历是一样的，所以每个人的特点必定会反映到他的人生经历当中，而个人的经历恰恰是别人没有办法复制的，所以能够到这个论坛上来的人必定不是井底之蛙，就像CD的名字含义一样。有时候回想在法国的两年留学时间，除了了解了法国文化，学习了法语，在专业方面进展很小，相比较毕业以后在国内工作或者去美国学习，肯定在工作和学习方面的进步要小很多，但是这就是个人的经历，只是对于我个人来说有一点地different,但是哪一个人的经历不是特殊的呢。法国人的思想里面散漫的比较多，可能相对于国人来说要更人性化一些，我学得最多的一点就是善待自己，善待生活，这里也希望和大家分享。

紧张的求学过程中，时刻提醒自己,自己的任务是让自己和自己周围的亲人朋友开心，所以Enjoy your life.

这个GPA在清华已经很牛了，尤其是工科的。好几门课考70多分，全年级还要排第二第三呢。唉。

还有想问问LZ，听说去德国和法国读公立大学，针对发展中国家的学生，都是免学费的，对吗？只要负担生活费和出去前过语言关，比学校录取了就是。。。是这样的吗？大家探讨一下

royix

这个问题很有趣，据我所知，德国和法国都没有免费的午餐，但是公立大学的学费也不贵，法国大学一年也就三四百欧元，好的大学校需要七八百欧元，所以是可以承受的。我没有上过语言学校，但据说语言学校相当贵，当然是索邦这种比较正规的学校了，短短一个暑假两个月就可能需要两千到三千欧元，所以除非你在国内就联系好学校，要不然就要做好心理准备了，另外，巴黎的生活费不便宜，当然你也可以省吃俭用，但是这就意味着吃苦。

还有什么问题，我会尽力给你满意的答案。
