不用问了, 肯定不通融. 会被waitlist 让你重考或者第二年申请的.

1. 看你偏好咯. 当然是各有各的好处. 住的近可以多睡一会觉. 住的远的地方比较有田园风情, 住一个大房子还可以和housemates建立一下network.

二手车质量良莠不齐, 买的时候要注意鉴别, 别刚买就问题多多, 修车的钱比买车的钱都多.

2. 租房可以, 车子最好还是亲自看一下吧. 除非你租新车.

多谢

容我多罗嗦一句

我很像试试住田园小木屋（在网上看到一些，也不算太贵），就是害怕一个女孩子是不是不安全，不知道有没有人帮我参谋一下？

有很多4-5个bedroom的小屋, 你可以和人合租呀. 又可以享受田园风情, 也不会不安全. 还可以时不时开个party什么的.

Need some advice for INSEAD application...

My GPA from university is unfortunately very low (~70%, I studied in Canada with a degree in mechanical engineering, they don't use GPA there).  Will this really weaken my application? Do you think I should write something about it in the optional essay?  Or will a 700+ Gmat score help?

Thanks.

optional essay is optional.

higher GMAT definitely works

good luck

Hi all INSEADers,

Thanks for all the informative answers. I'm a
new comer to ChaseDream and noticed this thread yesterday. From what
I've read here, it seems INSEAD is the right B-school for, but am I
right for INSEAD? Please can you share your thoughts about my questions
below?

1. My background: female, born in Fujian, moved to
Shanghai at the age of 14, received bachelor degree (BSc in
Biochemistry) from a top U in HK with a full scholarship, BSc in Biochemistry, GPA not very
high - around 3.2, around 5 years working experience in Shanghai in
market research (previously a global top 10 research firm, now a
smaller French firm), English working environment, daily work involves
dealing with international clients and help them understand Chinese
consumers. With this background, do you think I stand a chance if I
apply for INSEAD, based on your knowledge of INSEAD values and the
applicant competition?

2. I want to switch to MC after
graduation if I can get in, preferablly in US or Europe. I do not plan
to stay in Europe/US for many years but I would love to spend 2-3 years
there. It seems most Chinese INSEAD graduates finally come back to Asia
and work in MC. Is it because they choose to or is it because it's
generally difficult for Chinese people to get MC offer in Europe/US due
to the culture difference? And if in 2-3 years I want to come back to
China, would my MC experience in Europe/US be an advantage or
disadvantage in your opinion?

3. About the 3rd language requirement, does Cantonese count?

4.
I plan to apply for the September 2009 intake, how much time would you
advise me to spend on the GMAT/TOEFL and the application? I just made
my mind to pursue an MBA degree last week, so it's a long way to go for
me.

Thanks
a lot! And I appologize if some of the above questions have already
been asked by someone else. This is a long thread, so I may have
overlooked certain posts.

touchstone

公司来校园招聘的话，INSEAD 的Jan Intake和Sep Intake有什么不同吗？哪个Intake来的公司更多一点？

Jan Intake除了有一个Summer Intern机会外，和Sep Intake相比在找工作方面哪个更有优势呢？

多谢啊！
