joyoni

from MSU, U of Iowa and U of maryland.

I don't know what to do? I never think about the top 30 or higher. my target is top 50 to 70. I think that is reasonable in terms of my background and the money available.

Me too. Notre Dame.
So I wonder whether it is a good school.

the reason why US schools love to ask Chinese and Indian students to apply for the school

1. foreign students usually have higher GMAT, in that way, the average GMAT from pool of applicants rises.

2. with an email, usually they can increase the applicant number significantly. many people was not considering a school, but now suspect he/she may have a good chance getting in there.

3. if no application fee waiver is attached, that could increase the profit from application fee


In ETS system, the school does not know much of your information. you should view this type of email as a marketing promotion and nothing else.

There are a lot of marketing scheme in US, when you get here, you will be facinated by how many ways they can get your money out of your pocket

Could you please confirm whether the on-line application website for Priority Candidate of Notre Dame is https://apply.embark.com/mbaedge/ndexpress ?



Kathy72, Maer, I also got such letter last year after I took GMAT. But I learned from BW forum that even many US applicants got this kind letters. So, it means a world-wide promotional letter. And it seems there will be lots of people apply Notre Dame. So, don't count on it too much.

这条线上的帖子加上下面的一条线，总共两条线，曾经给了偶巨大的打击。

偶一直很不平，比九斤老太还不平，为什么偶已经填了几页纸的表了，Notre Dame对偶却不屑一顾，而各位对Notre Dame 不屑一顾的，却得到了青睐。

自信心狂受打击啊狂受打击，一直到今天偶也收到了一个劳什子说什么Whirlpool奖学金和福特基金会有钱给Notre Dame,鼓励偶在12月20日之前申请。

破碎的心终于被缝了几针，打了个补丁，可是偶已经对Notre Dame没有热情了。

确实其中有NOTRE DAME, 还说如果在12月20日前申请会免我申请费. 楼上的也收到了吗?怎么看? 还有一间是UNC.

Can anyone share more information of the letter content? Why Dec 20? I heard that this year's Deadlines of ND are: Nov, 15; Jan 15; March 15...
BTW, doesn't it provide a special website for your application this year? what is that?

And for UNC, does it also waive application fee?

kathy72

可能因为他们20号以后要放假了, 鼓励我们在假期前申请. UNC 没提到免申请费的问题. 其实我原来也打算申请UNC的,后来查了一下DEADLINE, 发现只赶得上第三轮了. 据说第三轮希望较渺茫, 所以才打消了念头.
