Personally i feel the competition among those without w/e will be much more fierce. The goal of MBA is to educate business leaders for either exsiting corporation or potential startup. The calibre of would-be leadership for either way, however, goes beyond mere academic relevance and expands far away into one's creativity, passion, personality, interests, etc, a wide array of potential qualities that is not well scrutinized by trational exams. So, possibly, adcom will pay more attention on one's essays and extracurricullum activities in order to set real good candidates for business leaders apart from a large number of guys with similar background. In this way, i feel Chinese students will not have any advantage in this competition since the flawed education system in China only churns out good test-machines, but not full human being who is cultivated in creative thinking and good communication skill, simply leaving alone their lousy English. Concerning the IOR, I also don't believe Chinese student, even if being admitted, will find it a short-cut for financial prosperity after graduation. The reason why US employers hire Chinese is that those guys understand Chinese culture, society and market. But for those who simply walk through doors of different school, they are particularly weak in this respect. In addition, the untimate reason for the new admission policy is a lack of mba applicants, not the actual market demand for young managers, which means the market acceptability of these new strian of mba product still hang in the air. Then, how many students can afford such kind of prohibitively expensive academic experiment?
