以下是引用lecool在2006-6-24 12:59:00的发言:布什这家伙恐怕也很少人以他为荣。 但举他因为他的例子最符合我说得情况。 布什当年在耶鲁的成绩单被揭露出来过, 四个字, 惨不忍睹。 但他是学生领袖, 更重要的是, 他有家庭的NETWORK, 所以哈佛收他了。 GPA高么? 不高。 台湾那坛子上今年HBS收的那个台湾学生, GMAT680, 但是有领导才能。 成绩高么? 也不高。 HBS是就出这么一个总统, STANFORD毕竟还没出过呢。 还有, 说HBS最重视LEADERSHIP也是跟他家教学方式有关, 纯CASE STUDY不就这样么。 STANFORD的GMAT平均分只在TOP10里中游? 这个我绝对无法认同。 举USNEWS 2005数据说话, 会更明确:05 GMAT Average: 1. HBS 707 ; 2. Stanford 712; 3. Wharton 714; 4. MIT 700; 5. Kellogg 700; 6. Chicago 700; 7. Columbia 706; 8. HAAS 702; 9. Tuck 699; 10. Anderson 700 STANFORD只低于WHARTON, 请问您的中游在哪儿?
OK. data tells. i m not sure, so i said, "maybe". pls find more data to support your point: data in different yrs (after 2001, pls) if u r interested... 最好能看到 录取的人的平均分 instead of 入学的人的平均分. maybe it will make big differences. but maybe u r still right that stanford's score is in the high side. my point is that stanford doesn't put much attention to your GMAT score (HBS neither). stanford's higher score doesn't come from its love to high score, but simply from its high selectivity. HBS's love to GPA is obvious. look, HBS 3.64, stanford 3.56, wharton 3.52, MIT, 3.5, Kellogg 3.45, chicago 3.5, columbia 3.4, tuck 3.3 if u really loves data, let me show u: GPA: (3.64-3.56)/4.0=2% while GMAT (712-707)/800=0.625% -- you can see the gap, but also consider that stanford's admission rate is only 2/3 of hbs's. bush那个例子没啥好说的, bw forum上很多人争论这个, 有些人觉得好, 有些人觉得可笑. it's up to u. |
