帮你在York里扫了一下，漂亮的faculty不是很多。

学生里漂亮的有一些。拉美的妹妹比较漂亮一些。

提醒的有道理。

上次去Rotman到处是人，怕有肖像权的麻烦就没拍。

加国东边的几个学校的风景都平常得很，多大的还可以。下次帖几张风景的。

Rotman的楼3千万加币盖的，远远谈不上气派。

根据Schulich的官方网站Gmat是550-790。不过除非有非常过人之处，最好还是平均线上吧，哈？schulich 官方的平均分好象是660，670的样子，估计是让华人考生给拉上来了，去年好象还只有640，650的样子。平均分提升了20呀，突飞猛进！

Rotman不太清楚，成绩应该和SCHULICH不相上下。照着美国Top10-15准备吧。Rotman比Schulich更学术一点，各种分数越高越好吧。

申请的时候有一点模糊的地方，都及时问校方吧，别耽搁了。

Schulich 的大楼在外面看其貌不扬，但是一进楼里立刻有了进入发达国家的感觉了。

迎面扑来的是各种各样的肤色人种。耳朵了灌进了各种口音的英语，最自信的是非洲，拉美口音，其次是印巴口音，当然经常也会听到十足的本地口音。

多大的校园应该比York的校园漂亮至少3倍，但是York的设施非常实用，一年一度的Rogers Canada网球公开赛一定会选择York的网球场。Schulich 投资了一个亿的教学楼当然也就要比Rotman 的3千万的小楼豪华至少3倍了。此外，Schulich里有不少知名顾问公司捐赠的教室。好像没有一家Wall street的投行，倒是Bay street的银行一个不少都来捐了门槛。当然还有很多全球知名的美国大公司了。

Schulich 的图书馆作为一个学院的图书馆占地面积不小了，虽然陈列的书不多，但是电脑不少，而且配置还不错。Schulich 任何地方的椅子都很舒适，尤其是图书馆里的。

待我参观的是一个二年级的亚裔女同学（根据姓氏推断应该是各香港华裔CBC），个子不高，但身上有一股我很熟悉的精明劲儿。果然，途中非常适度地介绍了自己是Waterloo大学(加国的MIT，加国最好的理工科学校，以前工作的同事多是此校的本科或硕士)的本科会计专业毕业。然后就我感兴趣的问题非常得体地进行了介绍，而且话里话外都非常巧妙地与我现在的工作行业和以前的公司联系了起来。看样我虽然还没提交申请，但是我的情况她都已经事前研究过了。是呀，不了解你的客户在想什么，怎么去向你的客户推销你的产品呢？我比较关心的当然还是学生毕业后的就业情况，妹妹介绍到Schulich的就业委员会成员都是在各行各业久经沙场的，平均行业工作经验17年。不过问到比较个人的问题，妹妹脸上稍稍掠过一丝阴云。毕竟还不到你死我活的就业竞争高峰呢。

而且这个妹妹看样在学校里很受欢迎，在短短的20分钟里，我们以每5分钟的频率和不同族裔的学生打着招呼。最后一站是把我带到我的旁听课堂里。我衷心地感谢了妹妹的精心讲解和恰到好处的对Rotman和Schulich的比较，然后告了别。

旁听的是我比较熟悉的IT的入门课，比较容易判断出好坏。

待续...

3000万我觉得也不少了，BS就是有钱啊！

Schulich 旁听.

课堂的教授是Waterloo 大学毕业的老头,这堂课的主题是计算机犯罪，是从管理的角度看IT行业，而不是从技术的角度。在课堂上引用了微软的将于2007年问世的vista中在几天前刚刚公布的安全机制。课堂上的知识显然与IT行业保持较好的同步。接着，又讲解了计算机在美洲，欧洲，和亚洲的ethnic.最后又讲了计算机犯罪和反方罪的方法。当然了，其中非常必要地提到了盗版问题。在各地的盗版软件在市场上的占有率大致如下：

北美洲 28%

西欧 35%

亚洲 51%

非洲 53%

拉美55%

东欧58%

呵呵，挺有意思的一组数字。

差不多40人的课堂上亚裔（华裔或印巴面孔）占1/2，拉美，非洲面孔占  ¼， 北美白人，欧洲面孔占1/4。比较积极参与课堂的3个华人男生，从口音上挺，两个是香港的，一个是大陆的（比较腼腆），1个欧洲妹妹，2个本地白人男生（其中一人年纪和教授相仿），2个印度口音的男生（IT背景），和一个拉美的男生。不管这些人说得到不到位，但是根据个人的工作经验和背景确实帮助教授丰富的课堂知识，更感性。难以想象，如果一屋子坐的都是没有工作经验的新毕业生，课堂得没意思极了，自己白花钱不说，连累的同学也不能受益，呵呵。

总而言之，教授还不错，授课也还幽默，生动，进度控制不错，不快不慢，但是重点不够突出，不够寓教于乐（MBA应该能够自娱自乐了吧）。评个85吧.

学生的课堂参与温和，无趣，评个75 吧.

课堂的授课设施是双屏的投影，教授可遥控屏幕，与科技大会的设施差不多，很少现场板书，效率比较高，整个教室能够非常清楚地看到屏幕；没有mic，不过教室里的同学应该能比较清楚地听到授课。椅子非常舒服，桌子也不错，评个90吧.

快要到申请限期的时候，Rotman 会催你的，下面是Rotman给的官方审题。聊胜于无吧。

Here are some tips to help you write your essays:

1. Discuss your personal and professional development over the past
five years and describe how these changes have led you to choose to do
your MBA at this time. What are your career goals and how will a Rotman
MBA help you to achieve them?

We want to know:  Why do you want an MBA?  Why now?  What do you expect
to do after your MBA?  Why have you chosen Rotman?  I know that you
have the answers to these questions.  Just write it down and you'll have
your first draft.  Don't worry about what you think we want to hear. 

2. One of the Rotman School's underlying principles is the value of
one; this value reflects the belief that each member of the Rotman
community has unique needs and talents. What are your greatest talents and/or
abilities and how would each enhance the experience of your classmates?

How do expect to contribute to the school?  What do you like to do and
are willing to share with your classmates?  Would you like to
participate in an existing activity or start a new one? 

3. Imagine that ten years from now a colleague is describing you to a
new employee. What will s/he say about you that you are not known for
now? How will you achieve these new skills?

What do you need to do to get to where you what to be in 10 years?  And
it's not just doing a Rotman MBA!

4. Describe a professional experience when you did not live up to your
full potential. What would you do differently if you had to do it over
again?

Have you ever made a mistake?  And what have you learned from it? 
Choose an example that you can write about in a meaningful way. Note,
however, that the question is asking for a professional experience, so no
need to divulge any embarrassing personal information!

Rotman 官方的推荐人的选择因素：

We have had a number of requests for tips on reference letters and I'm 

happy to include the following to help you select your referees.

The source of your reference is an important factor which the 

Admissions Committee will review carefully in order to determine your candidacy 

for Rotman's M.B.A. program.  This portion of your application carries 

considerable weight - your references are our most reliable resource in 

terms of assessing your professional accomplishments, your 

interpersonal skills and your leadership potential.  Therefore, choose your 

referees carefully and be sure to consider the following:

1. Two professional references are required.  I do not recommend that 

you include academic references as they will not be weighed equally.  The 

committee will be looking to see whether your referees can attest to 

your performance in a professional setting.  

2. It is not advisable to choose:  subordinate employees, colleagues, 

=93mentors?or family friends - regardless of the relevancy of their 

professional background.  The committee seeks references which are both 

accurate and un-biased, as well as those from individuals who occupy a 

senior position in relation to the applicant.  For these reasons, it is 

recommended that you choose current and/or previous supervisors who you 

have reported to directly.

3. Do not pick referees based solely on their title, or their senior 

position within your workplace.  Be sure to select a supervisor who knows 

you and who can attest to your skills and abilities firsthand.  

4. Avoid referees from part-time positions or internships.

5. Don't assume because someone has agreed to be your referee, that 

he/she will be positive.  Take the time to meet with your referees and 

state why you have chosen them and what they can add to your MBA 

application.

6. Remember to state your 'Reason for Choosing Referee'.  Clearly 

indicate your professional relationship to the referee.  If your referee is a 

former supervisor who has moved to a new company, state this fact as 

well as the title the individual held at the time that you reported to 

him or her.  Fill in all of the fields on the Referee Information form 

including your referee's current title, employer and contact information.  

7. Encourage your referees to cite specific examples regarding your 

performance.  Don't hesitate to remind them of your accomplishments and the 

impact you have had on the organization! A good reference is explicit 

and detailed, highlighting situations which exemplify both your 

interpersonal skills and leadership abilities.

8. If you have been self-employed since your undergraduate degree, or 

have been employed in a family-owned business; your references should be 

from individuals who have worked with you in a professional capacity, 

and should not come from an employee. 

I hope you find it helpful!
