I would say HBS is sort of difficult, but you have a chance at MIT.

It's all about how you put your stories together.

haha,
I didn't pay attention to my spellings.
Seems that a kind of joke written HSB( HSBC is 香港汇丰银行) instead of HBS.
BTW, I do not like HSBC's service.

Thanks Prescott.
Pretty sure, that's really impossible.
Anyway, everyone, enjoy this joke.

Seems lack of leadership experience, which would lock you out of HBS and Sloan...

Just my .02. Best of wishes anyway.

是的，hbs招的人关键是看有没有当领袖的潜质，这是从过去的工作中看出来的。。据有类似公司经验的人非常多，而且工作经验可能更相关的申请人非常多，所以关键看essay里面你过去都有哪些领袖潜质。。

sloan招的人普遍比较年轻。。不过这两年hbs招的人也最多31-32岁，所以年龄（还真认识有哈佛毕业的硕士向申请hbs但是因为年龄偏大居然被拒掉），工作背景以及成绩非常看重。其中工作经验在不在大的公司不是最重要的，是看你在这样的组织里做过什么，是不是只是干junior的工作。。

hi guys
That's right. Leadership is
the key.
But what's your definition of leadership?
Leading a
big project affects the whole company's future is called
leadership.
On another hand, small case with only two people isn't
leadership?
Be honest, if you already in that high position in
North American and do not plan go back China, I will suggest that
think carefully before you quit your current job and join in the full
time MBA school.
That's a huge risk.
As an immigration, I know how hard
to find a high position job here. A lot limitations.

    

That's why I am sure I didn't lose my
mind.
The truth is, not Top B-School, you have a 'fat' chance to
find a job in Canada. (America has higher probability).
But also, I agree everyone here. I will postpone till a better time.

To
Scaring:
Few years to go 31/32. But as a woman, at that time, I
probably will focus on my family and kids.

Thanks everyone.

I think there are a lot types of leadership defintions depending on how you inteperate and how the schools evaluate...

Yes, opportunity cost is high if you already have a decent job. In Canada, I would say if you already make around CAD$90K+. Remember the exchange rate now ;-)

Most importantly, make sure what you want to do post-MBA, then go for it :-) However, in some cases, as far as I know a few people quit US$200k+ IB jobs, and went for HBS just beause of the school...
