以下是引用gobeyond在2006-12-20 11:04:00的发言:Hi Leopon, It seems to me that if you want to switch to HSM, your background is not that strong. I'm not sure about Duke's HSM, but for Wharton HSM, all applicants have very strong background in this area. Most of them are directors and senior managers in small to medium health care related companies. Although you've been working in biotech company for 7+ years, however, your major role is biostatistics or clinical DBA (my guess ). You really need to polish your essay to show your good understanding of business operation. And I don't think your age is your major problem. Try to find out the answer from Duke, I believe you'll be fine next year. 呵呵,偶觉得这个比较有道理,除了“有质量的工作经验”之外。我觉得所谓“优势”和“主流申请人”是相对的,就在近几年,W招过高尔夫球背景的,K招过一个护士。我觉得楼主的背景在DUKE的TYPICAL BACKGROUND里真不一定算强的,但如果在MICHIGAN,CHICAGO,也许他们正想招几个DIVERSE 背景的人,可能更有竞争优势,如果来年再战,不妨考虑一下申请策略——在加强ESSAY之外 好运! |
