全脱产准备GMAT, 申请时应如何解释?

phpsky

我于今年4月辞职, 全脱产式准备GMAT, 终于8月征服GMAT. 请问申请MBA时该如何解释这几个月的工作经验? 我应该说真话? 还是虚构一个工作经验?

我的GMAT考了730+, 但AWE 直有4分. 会影响我的申请吗?

还有, 我现在应全力准备MBA申请, 还是找工作呢?

谢了!

You'd better find a good reason for that period. It will definitely affect your application without a good excuse.

In my opinion AWA 4.0 can hurt your chance a little bit, though not much, since adcom can actually look at what you wrote during the GMAT test.

what could be good excuse? taking a break? looking after sick parents? convincing enough? or If I make up a work record, namely get a company to sign a certification for me to prove I am actually working for it, would there be any risk? I am facing the same problem too, please help.

不要着急，大胆创新，能编就编！

关键是自圆其说. 最后都能归结到你的目标中.

虚构一个公司, 需要解释为什么你选择这家公司, 它对你职业发展有什么帮助.

说一个Break, 要解释原因和未来打算. 这里有个很好的例子在feifeifeifei的case分析里. 参考: 逐梦共赴精彩!—2003年MBA成功申请人访谈2

照顾生病的家人 这是个很私人的理由,老外大概不会多问吧.

人在跑步之前总要做一个热身，想一想如果无法自圆其说的后果，也许summerize yourself is also a good reason.

我也有同样的经历,没那么长而已,我已经决定在简历中将我的辞职时间向后推一推,不知行不行.

in my opinion, if the period of time is not long(2-3months), any excuse can be ok. but if it is more than 3 months, that will be a problem. in my case, i came to us last year and studyed almost 18 months, maybe summerizing myself is also not good enough. sigh!
