Hi LZ,

Thanks a lot for your gracious help to us! I took GMAT last week and got only 710. I'm planning to apply for the "MPhil in Innovation, Stratergy and Organization" because this program is very much related to my current job. Unfortunaly, I majored in English and got an BA degree while this program requires an undergraduate degree in social science area. Is it possible that my work experience and my GMAT make up for my degree? Or do you think it's necessary for me to take GMAT again to get a >750 score? Thanks a lot in expecation of your reply. All your advice will be highly appreciated.

I think 710 is a pretty good score. However, because I am not familiar with this programme, I cannot give any advice to you. You may ask the graduate office directly about the requirement (Only MBA has mba office, others need to contact with graduate office).

If you are confident that you may get 750, maybe it is better for you to re-examine. however, 710 is enough even for MBA.

Good luck!

Recently I am pretty busy due to many deadlines of reports. However, I would love to share some feelings about Judge.

The first thing I would like to mention is its practical projects, which allow us to apply the knowledge into the real world. This term, we had Cambridge Venture Project, which collaborated with local start-up companies, helping them address certain strategy, marketing or sales issues. We had a long list to choose, but some teams had to bid for hot topic. Next term, we will have global consulting project, which collobrates with global big companies in many industries, e.g. consulting, ib, hi-tech, energy. Even though the final list has not been revealed, I believe it should be great,especially for whom wants to land a job in UK or change industry or functions. After the third term, we still have individual project, which is chosen by yourself.

The second thing is that, backed-up by Cambridge, it offeres a lot of opportunities for us to learn outside MBA. All kinds of lectures, activities and business competitions are in front of us. The only thing needed to do is to manage the time effectively. As you may know, cambridge has the largest hi-tech Sillion Fan in Europe. In order to help us understand how to start up the business and build the networking, "Cambridge University Entrepreneur" holds "Enterprise tuesday" workshop every week with related business topics. Therefore, if you want to be entrepreneur or start up your business later, Judge is a decent place to study.

Good luck to all applicants!

I bet she never gonna expose her MSN or frequently-used email address to public forums because of the junk flooding on internet.

If your questions are not so private, why not share with us?

I think your background is pretty strong. In your case, gmat is not so important as you may think. Besides that, 680 is not a bad score, at least above average. therefore, do not feel frastrated. Putting your effort on the essays is more critical. Personally, I think essays and interview weight more than gmat if you got an average score.

Good luck and wait for your good news!

Liu Sha ,

Thanks for your reply and it's really encouraging. I will go ahead, but I still plan to re-take the gamt. Just one question, don't you think it will be later when I got the second round GMAT score in Jan next year? and also I still haven't take the ILETS,it won't be an obstacle i think.

Could pls share with us when you start your application and make some description on the process ? sorry , second queston now.

Thanks!

I also checked on the information about JBS. But I do not have any work experience. It means I can only apply other programme in the school. Does any of you have idea about the Mphil in Finance

Dear, can you share with us whether you choose campus interview or telephone interview? I understand that the Campus interview will much help, but most of cases it is not easy for a domestic chinese student to do the interview abroad.

Good luck for your gmat test then. Jan is not so late to apply. At least, the mba office told me that they will not conduct any interview before christmas, which is actually not true because till now there have had two coming to judge for interview. But what is true is that, most of us start to apply from Jan.

I submitted my application form on 11th Jan, and got informing about interview about 1~2 weeks later. I had a campus interview on March. The next day after interview I got the decision. Everything was very efficient and the staff was so nice and informative. It was really impressive if you ever went through the long-period waiting of other schools.

Regarding the essays, I didn't discuss with any classmates yet. But my feeling is that, different person has different strengths. The key point is to sell yourself, show your true thinking about your career, and demostrate your collabrative spirit. Judge is a relatively small community so that collabration is very important to us. Till now, I haven't found any  really tough guy in our class. If you like such kind of atmosphere, definitely it is the right place.
