[校友答疑]Oxford MBA 07-08 student Q&A

avy1201

W/E: e.g. from head office of a large Chinese insurance company; from head office of a state-owned bank; from a top Chinese telecome company; jounalist based abroad from a famous broadcaster; senior manager from KPMG. etc 

It is not very realistic to ask everyone's gmat. People might not want to tell and it is wierd if I start to ask everyone the score. But, as far as I know, Gmat is not so important, higher than 650 is ok as long as you are strong with your background. If other aspects are weak, a high Gmat score would not guarantee you an offer.

Cheers

终于听到有人在英国读MBA! 很高兴 - 因为我不懂法语, 呵呵.

其实我也是工程的,在英国工作四年多啦,想读个MBA,正准备GMAT,要先看考得怎样再申请学校. 希望08/09入学.

ANYWAY 祝顺利!

还有瑞典的朋友, 有志气!

Thanks, I fully understand "total packege" is critical to get offer.

Hi.
Which colleges would you recommend?  To be honest I don't really care about the "culture/spirit" of the college, my concerns are mainly cost, living condition and food.

终于看到insurance了!!!

我在ING的中国合资公司总部做了4年,然后目前在另一家内资(但AIG欲战略投资)insurance已1年. GMAT 740. T没考.

请问如果想申请牛津或剑桥需要如何完善package一下? 急...目前正郁闷申请材料和选校中...

另外,问LZ.你在NL工作3年,那么你的master是在国内工作3年后去那拿的还是读完了回国工作,然后申请移民,又去那工作了3年? 我觉得你的EU citizen比较有分量...

I haven't got chance to compare so many colleges. From what I heard from fellow classmates, Kebel, Wadham, Pembroke are nice, good location, rents are not so expensive. As a MBA student, you woundn't have too much time to spend in your college, so you might want to choose one close to the school. Templeton is a little far(they have accomodation right next to school, but expensive, other colleges are all not so far.

Good luck!

申请材料我很难给你意见，因为至少从你的背景来看收到面试申请并不难，真正的决定因素是你面试的表现，也许到时我可以再给你意见，特别很有可能给你面试的老师我认识(只是牛津这边），可以告诉你面试需要注意什么。

我是在中国工作了3年后去荷兰读得Master,然后继续在荷兰工作了三年。国籍我觉得不重要，但是有国际背景会很有利。

祝一切顺利！

Hi Avy...

Has Oxford released the admissions for MBA 2008~2009?

I conducted the interview more than 2 weeks ago, but haven't got any response till now...

Hi wil1213, I know Oxford has started to release the offer. Do you get the username and password to log into School network? I waw interviewed on 11/26, but till now, no news from the schools. It seems the chance is slim..
