Hi Hedge,

Stern对创业背景的申请人是非常欢迎的，学校专门有Berkley Center for Entrepreneurial Studies (http://w4.stern.nyu.edu/ei/),每年举办Business Plan Competition。学校还组织各种conference,提供与风险投资的networking机会，另外，Entrepreneurship 也是Stern的主要专业方向之一，有名的教授包括okun等等，课堂教学也会邀请外来的speaker，包括前两年创业成功的校友、律师、风险投资商等等，给学生提供非常贴近现实世界的创业指导。

你的背景很适合申请Stern,不过，别小看了gmat分数的重要性！祝你成功！

hi Coffemug：
      想知道申请Stern需要TOEFL的成绩么？需要的话，大概多少对申请比较有利呢？

      谢谢阿

TOEFL 应该不用吧。 我申请的时候我的TOEFL已经过期好久了。 而且如果学校没在申请要求里说明的话应该就不用了。  不用花时间考试应该感觉很好吧， 哈哈

irjj, 喜欢你的头像！ 欢迎申请Stern!  我当时在Stern 和 CBS之间也有选择, 虽然有入学时间和学制的因素在里面，但是我从来没有后悔来Stern. 这里的学习和求职的份围和资源，以及活泼有生机的社区，都让我感到很满意。 建议申请的时候范围大一些，然后再慢慢选择。

Hi friends,

Thanks a lot for the information/experience sharing. They are informative and helpful.

I would like to apply for the 2008 fall MBA. I would like to focus on the top mba in finance. Stern is my dream school.

However, my background is not very fit for MBA, compared to those with IB/big4 experiences. I got my BS in a top 10 engineering univ. in China and a M.S. in a top 20 engineering univ. in U.S. So far I am working in a top Semiconductor company in U.S., as a product development engineer. I have only 1 year w/e now.

I would like to pursuit career in a boarder IB field, especially IM. I am trying to think of a reasonable explanation of why to pursuit IB as my career in future. The followings are my background which I think might help.

1. Have taken 2 under-grad level and 1 grad-level finance courses from the business school in my university in U.S. (top25 mba), and got A in all of them. ---> It may indicate that I have made up my mind for the MBA before entering career.

2. Trade stocks heavily. And prepare for CFA. (schedule to take the level1 on December this year)  ---> Get involve in finance.

3. Get leadership/comunication skills improved during my work. My work is not that technical, and lots of peer managment are involved. Similar to project manager, but more technical than that.  ---> I gave up a technical position and took this one to aim at non-techinal career in future. 

I know the background listed above is not convincing, but I really wanna apply and head for finance field.

Could you guys please give me and advice and ideas on how could I make them more convincing? Any comments are welcomed and appreciated.

Thanks a lot, my msn is tylergu(A) hotmail.com and my another ID in CD is tylergu

Sounds like you are heading the right direction in terms of prepping for finance.  Finance is a very broad area, so make sure you are specific in essays regarding which function you are interested in as a career goal (e.g. investment banking, sales& trading, investment management, etc) and why.

Career switch may not necessarily be a disadvantage, as that's what most of people go to business school for.  At Stern, it's not unusual to see career switchers got offers from top financial firms.  Make sure to mention why and how Stern can help you regarding your specific goals.
