Thanks, Phxmu. I appreciated your quick answers. Here's something in my mind. Hope you could continue to giving me your insights when you have time.

1. Language barrier is always a topic for Chinese students in the job hunting. I don't quite understand how "good" in English will be considered non- (seems impossible) or less language barrier?  My experience in the U.S. MNC is that most of my Chinese peers don't speak very good English, but they are doing very well in the company. One of them is a senior marketing manager, who graduated from a 200+ ranked MBA program. Personally, I think your English is not bad. (You hosted the Austin Ad. Q-A session last time on CD). Do you think your English will be a barrier for you in the job hunting? How's your English level compared to other students in the class (including American students)?

In consulting and marketing, it is language intensive. A lot of American idioms and cultural things that are really difficult to understand. If you can understand 90% of the American commercials, then you are good for any job. For me, I concentrate in Finance, and there is no problem, but I can not handle the consulting and marketing jobs in US.

For your marketing manager  case, is he/she in China? In China, you can say everybody speaks good English, but if it is in a Company in US, you will understand there is a huge difference. Not everybody is speaking like the MBA assistant Dean...

 

2. To clarify the meaning of "International students", do you mean those students who need a H1B sponsor or all the International students, including those with GC? Do you hint that the chance of getting a job in MKT area is really slim? It's really bad news for me, as I want to work in MKT area.

If you have a green card, then you are not considered a international student.There is no restriction for your employement. I am talking about H1B here. As I said, in Marketing, culture is a barrier. Another reason is that marketing positions are less than finance jobs. Companies like Frito-lay, Coca-cola, or P&G usually recruite one person for marketing, and there are many Americans waiting for that. But there are more chance in Consulting companies concentrating on marketing.

Thanks again for your information!

请教楼主关于GMAT送分的问题：我一直是通过网上www.mba.com向学校送分的，其他学校都没问题，但不知何故在选择接受学校时就是搜索不到Universtiy of Texas at Austin-Mccombs。McCombs网站上说要ETS送分，但GMAT已经换东家了，ETS网站上没有GMAT一栏，不知如何送分给McCombs。请指教。急。多谢。

不会吧，这么大学校会没有？

1. 问问别的申请Austin的同学。

2. 搜索论坛上关于送分的帖子。

3. 打电话给学校GIAC。

刚刚打电话给www.mba.com，要求电话送分。但他们的系统上也查不到University of Texas at Austin，他们说可能学校没有在他们的送分名单上更新，要求我与学校直接联系。McCombs网站上给的GMAT Code 396-44-45与他们没关系。我打了McCombs上三个电话，都是留言状态。学校网站上只说要求官方送分，GMAT Code 396-44-45，没说更多细节。我已经发电邮给学校问了。有哪位知情的xdjm指点一下。不胜感激。

申请交了５个星期了，还一点消息都没有。不知道楼主去年申请的时候，多长时间才收到学校的面试邀请啊？
另外我刚刚进UT的系统查application status. 好像今天才显示“Your file
has been forwarded to the Graduate Committee for review.”
不知道adcom什么时候开始看材料的

在online application website

UT austin 要求 summary of educational experience

这个是不是要从小学开始?

我刚申了MPA,现在申请是不是晚了?似乎好多牛人早就申请了,还有希望吗

财产担保还没办,会影响录取吗?

请教phxmu,再过多久能得到offer或是拒信?

忘了是否有要求了。反正从高到低，至少要填到高中。

你是申请了MPA还打算申请MBA吗？最好问问学校这样可不可以。

我估计要到一月份或者二月份才会有消息。现在还没有任何的决定，耐心等待吧。
