Hi,

 

I have a question concerning about the 11 additional elective courses which I can select from the curriculum.

 

My career perspective focuses on Finance & analytical elements.

 

Beside these, I would like to choose another focus area, I am wondering among these areas: Econometrics and Statistics, Economics, Entrepreneurship, General Management, Human Resource Management, International Business, Managerial and Organizational Behavior, Marketing Management, Operations Management, Strategic Management.

 

Do you all have any ideas of which alternatives worth to pick from the list? Thank you!

Just share some personal perspectives and hope will help:

1) Don't feel obliged to label yourself with concentrations, although it's easy to get 2 majors here.

2) If you want to run after concentrations, try to figure out your driver--is it purely out of your personal interest, or it's driven by the need of "marketing my resumee"

3) If it's your personal interest, congratulations, you can literarily go after any class you want...you can even skip foundamental requirements if you feel comfortable.  Flexibility is the biggest bless of Chciago as I find out, which does not mean a lot before I join here.  My strategy is to choose really good professors.  If you r a really quant guy, trying out Eugene Fama or Kevin Murphy... 

4) If it's career driven, then you might not want to pursue banking life with 6 electives on Organizational Behavior science (having said that, the leadership class and the class on social networks are excellent!).  Rather you may find concentrations on Accounting and Finance very helpful.

5) Try to talk to more people after get in--might be the best way to figure out your strategy.

6) My favorite is accounting, which unfortunately is not on your list...

Good luck!

Hi,

I am very interested in the MBA program at GSB.

My background is:

BS + MS in a top university in China, majored in Biology

MS in a top university in US, majored in Bioengineering

4 year R&D working experiences in biotech industry in US

I took the GMAT test today and my score is only 700. Do I need to retake the GMAT exam? I am afraid that it may be too late to retake the exam since the deadline of admission is 1/10/2007. 

I heard that the requirement of GMAT score is different between international students and US based students. Is that real? My current status is permanent resident in US.

Thank you very much!

Shiqqq was right. Background check is conducted after the admission. There is no need to notify your past employers if they are of decent size 'cause their HRs know how to handle this inquiry professionally. If you worked for small firms, you might want to give them a heads-up though.

我想请问背景调查除了查工作时间, title, salary 还会问HR什么东西呢?

急问！

我的成绩单是以前在学校教务处开的。有学校章，有骑缝章，但是没有签名，是我以前申请学校就做的，以前没有签名这一说。但是Chicago的网页说明是要签名的，那么没有签名是不是要紧？我知道可以先交电子的，但是如果最后录取的时候，我这个成绩单可以用吗？难道非要有签名不成？我人在美国，这个不容易呀。

万分感谢！

不用签名，中英文成绩单盖章直接封上给学校。

请问一下那个GSB Winter Gathering的帖子找不到了，可以给个链接吗？谢谢！

Dear Chicago GSB current students and alumni,

Last night, I received a waitlist decision for my R1 application.

1) Can you give me some advice on what and how I can do to improve my cadidacy and increase the possibility of being admitted? Do you think retake a GMAT will help? (My current score is 710)

2)What is the statistics of waitlisted applicants being admitted in past years? What is the rate especially for Chinese applicants?

Thanks very much in advance.

disclaimer, no GSB current student or alumni. So take my words with a grain of salt.

1) you do not need to retake the GMAT.

2) AFAIK, chicago wailist tons of applicants and your chance of getting promoted to the admission list is slim. sorry to say this, but advise you to prepare for other schools.

I am really interested in the school culture.  Can any one tells me what's the culture of Chicago GSB?  If you are a current student, do you enjoy your study and life at GSB?  Thanks a lot!!

那样的话，如果我被录取，那不是全公司的人都知道我要走了？那时候visa还没有到手呢。。。。到时候不辞职都不行了。。。。

是不是一定会做background check啊。。。偶都是秘密进行申请的
