I think you have a very interesting background. Although I don't know any Chinese student who has the same experience, I do know a few foreigners who do. Non-profit/public sector are pretty big here. So if you ask me, I’d say Stanford is a good place for you.
Like Lancome130 said, make your package as personal as possible, and show your true passion.
Tuxiaoyang,glad to see your post again , from all the posts in this forum I gained most from that of Stanford, and among the Stanford posts I learnt most from your indepth.Here seems the impression that you wrote more than four pages for the essay of question 1? Doesn't it matter? Sorry if I got the wrong memory.
Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad I could be of some help.
The rules were different back then - there was no word limit. The rule of thumb was 7 pages for “what matters most”. Mine was 10 pages (double spaced), three thousand some odd words. It was a longwinded essay indeed =)
So sorry here comes up another question to Mr.Tu,and please forgive my possible impoliteness or abruptness.
That is, do you think your minority's identity contributive to your success?I ask so because I read an essay about experience of applying for HBS by another minority applicant(not Mongolian,maybe 彝族 I guess), who emphasized it and made good winning.
今年卷土重来,其间帮助本公司做了一个voluntary stratagy suggestion,完全属于我份外的事情,但深受好评。但是公司财政紧张,我并未获得大的提升。My title sucks, but that's because I cannot excel on things I don't have passion about. That's a double-bladed sword.
未来目标,ultimate societal goal希望成立自己的慈善机构,但是这需要金钱和名望来吸引注意力,那么ultimate professional goal是希望加入并带领一家中国企业树立国际声望,,比如说把Haier做成IBM的名望。短期目标就是management consulting,所以才有在中国还是在美国做的问题。
我首先认为自己是个非常aggresive的leader,有大局观,做事情 有idea,有passion,也有执行力,但是对高人非常虚心, 性格上适合做CEO。缺点不少,比如engineer title too low, 对职业规划不太清晰,不够mature,缺乏耐心,与人交往有时候显得高傲,还有就是对细节不是很耐心,对数字不喜欢。还有在中国人看来做事情high profile。同时也意识到自己的性格缺点,在着意完善。
