Hi XDJM,

I was dinged by HBS, Stanford, and UCLA in the last 3 days.  Got in Yale earlier.  Wharton R2, pending.  I can't believe that UCLA turned me down.  It was my backup school.  I have 760/4.5 GMAT, 3.7GPA, 25 years old, work for a very well-known financial institute, 3 year w.e. at 3 different positions(climbed up the corporate ladder), good title, management experience, entrepreneur experience, made $220k off full time job and $300 k from my side investment last year.  What else are they looking for?  Well, good luck to you all.

i dont mean to offend you. i wouldnt accept you if i were the admision officer. You've got a lot of experience in different areas, you are on the fast track of your company,  more inportantly, you are already making $220,000, let alone $300,000 you made aside. MBA is not going to bring you this kind of salary upon graduation. On the other hand, MBA is kinda hurdle your current career. UCLA/H/S did a kind job to you. They want you to ignore MBA and move on your career.

Yale is being unreasonalbe to accept applicant like you who has such strong backgraound and salary. MBA is gonna hurt you. You wanna build up your network, go get an EMBA in few years.

Seriously, dont go to yale, and congrats to all your dings.

我觉得$220,000是人民币220,000吧

是美金那也太夸张了.22万美金年薪去读MBA?

GIVE ME A BREAK....

Whatever happened is no longer important now.  Buffet got dinged by HBS as well.  Wish you get into Penn...

我觉得可能是还有人和你的background一样,但有一些方面比你更强.在一样的条件下.只能ding你了.

这就叫强中自有强中手.

B不要灰心.还可以申别的学校.

Such comment makes sense. I do not mean to offend stock_usc either, just here expressing my appreciation for those replys after careful reflection.

Does UCLA give you any feedback? I am also curious about its criterion.
