Waitlisted by Stanford

   我在美国大学，但不是在商学院，但知道少在我们系，曾经有这样的先例，一个北大学生拒绝我们学校的同时推荐了他的同系同学，结果他的同学就来了。我相信在商学院，也会有类似的情况，因为美国学校（社会其他很多部门也如此）很重视推荐。我建议你采取多方面的尝试：首先请tigercsh尽快推荐你，他的推荐一定要很impressive。如果你认识stanford的校友，请他们努力把tigercsh的推荐让招生委员会知道。我相信事在人为，版大千万不要轻易放弃。

  另外，你属于中国申请者这个pool，所以中国申请者拒绝STANFORD，也是由中国申请者来补上的。这也是为什么我发贴请tigercsh尽快拒绝其他学校。这是为我们中国申请者整体利益考虑的，所以请拿到多个录取的CDer尽快决定，帮助同胞。

——说清楚什么大学什么专业，，，推荐劳动力给老板干活和这个很难等同的。。。。。横向比较错误。

努力是没错的。但是不要过于主观。。

How come Yale has better alumni network than Stanford does? You are talking about the alumni of Yale Uni. , not just Yale SOM, right?

Not really. Besides the alumni of the whole Yale Univ., many people from big corporation, rich or famous family choose Yale because of its history and culture.

当年钱永强在Yale MBA, 据说不经意间选了一门类似Gloabal Strategy的课, 去了以后发现上课的不是石油大亨的继承人, 就是一些显赫家族的后代, 听了两堂课就drop掉了, 因为跟不上他们讨论的话题.... 相比之下, stanford 更重视新人, 创业者, 你认为这些石油大亨的后代还会去自己创业么?

不过估计有水分在里面了, 但是也说明了Yale MBA的独特之处. (欢迎拍砖)

石油大亨一般可以生出3个以上子女，皇太子继承人会继续做石油，而更多的未来的王爷们会研究另辟奇径创业。

75人被waitlisted in round 1, 也意味着round 2的申请会非常tough....

Not really.

The waitlisted applications will be reviewed after R2, so waitlist doesn't affect R2, R2 affects waitlist.

__i 斑只工作了一年？75个挂号的，，，，，，，，，，那要中真是难的。。。。deposit我认为就是保险费，解释为如果不去的赔偿费，既然是给了赔偿，应该不算ethical problem。

Yes, I had exactly one year W/E by the time of application, now is almost 1.5... My most obvious weakness....

It is tough to get off the waitlist, so I will prepare to go to Yale first.

You are right.

Should not compare the admission of Phd to that of MBA...

I decide not to use recommendation.

Hard to socialize with those guys, don't you think?

So even those guys are in Yale's alumni network, it doesn't mean Yale's alumni network is better than Stanford's...

However, thank you very much for your consolation. I really appreciate it.

stanford has a reputation being a little isolated village in No Cal, yes it is ranked high up by various standards, but in corporate world it is a different story pending on your intended fields...

//it is not hard to socialize with "those guys" because they actually can accept chinese thinking better than average folks, it is harder to socialize with the bay area liberals.
