[注意]申请Chicago的兄弟姐妹看过来

Doublejade,

刚刚电话查询到8月23日的TOEFL成绩610+，Listiong 58.

请问这个成绩申请GSB还有戏吗？是否一定要重考？

BTW，GMAT\GPA条件足够好。

I would say it's not good, especially the listening section, sorry. If your goal is defintely top 10 schools, why not take it again?



谢谢！准备重考！！

Doublejade,
请教一个具体问题，今年GSB的essay中有这样一个问题：If you could be present at any event in time, what would it be and why? 请问如何理解这个问题，写的时候侧重点是什么。Thanks in advance.

Hi Doblejade,

It is interesting to hear (from you and other sources) that GSB is trying very hard to improve its marketing leg. As I have a brand management background, can you share with us some of the insider information regarding the progress? Specifically, could you describe:

1. percentage of current FT student with a marketing background?
2. GSB's attitudes towards applicants with marketing ground?
3. Any good marketing professors and courses? can you name some?
4. Job perspective for students with a marketing background or concentrated in marketing.
5. Since most of the people went to GSB are aspired for Finance, is GSB a good school for marketing type people? i.e. open communication, team work, strategic thinking and lots innovative ideas?


Thanks in advance for your help. I know you probably can't answer all of them, but any information is appreciated!

Firstly, say sorry to all people waiting for my answer. I had a very long week. Demanding courses, never finished assignments, and we have 5-6 recruiter presentations every day!

Petalfly,I can not see any difference between the first round and the second round. People at admissions office can always estimate applicant numbers for every round precisely! But you'd better not to apply in 3rd round.:-) I don't think there is any problems with your career goal but it's a bit strange that you plan to apply for another master degree just after you have gotten one. You might need to explain to people on this clearly.

Imcrazy, Chicago have a creative essay every year. And it changes! So, be creative! In my understanding, in this essay, you can show your passion, your personalities, or even your former experiences! It's cool! Stick to one thing that you die to do it or one thing that you want to bring some changes and the result would be different.

Greattaste1, I am trying to answer all your questions:
1. Shoule be about 15-20%.
2. Marketing guys do have advantages. Every business school trys to improve diversity as Chicago does. You know, all Finance people want to apply for GSB or Wharton, or Columbia. Marketing people always put Kellogg on the top of their lists, not GSB. But, GSB still needs Marketing people.
3. I don't know much about those professors. But we have an associate dean who is a famous marketing professor. Marketing courses? Most popular one is new product development lab. Students can get first hand experience in marketing research and new product development with a real company.
4. See answer 2. Almost the same. 80% GSB students want to do Finance. But there are still some companies coming here to recruit marketing people.
5. Don't know much about that. Maybe I will know when I take some marketing courses next quarter.

doublejade realy did a great job. thank you so much.

petalfly

thank you so much

shallwe

doublejade, Do you know how many students are with engineering background in GSB? Specifically IT background?

Since GSB focuses on finance, how do the adcom think of engineers? In your mind, what would be a reasonable career plan? How about setting up one's own company?

Thanks a bunch!

could you provide some information about entrepreneurship about GSB, I don't know how to answer them if they ask me why apply for GSB.
I also want to know their altitude to the applicant who want to atudy entrepreneurship, Do they normally accept people who want to study that, very few?
Thanks a lot
