WE ARE HBS CLASS OF 2010 CDERS!

xxz5838

以下是引用HBS_2010在2008-7-9 17:52:00的发言：

（1）你能不能把原文发给我看看。我特地去HBS网站上看了一下，没找到哪里写one pae discouraged啊，我那时申请的时候没有碰到这个要求

（2）最好不要同一个风格的，   admission officer一看就看出来的，非要你自己起草的话，可以再让你的recommender用他习惯的语言修改一下

 （3）相对来说，GPA不那么重要，只要不要太差就可以了。学校通过GPA, G,T看你的学习能力，GPA万一低一点的话，就靠G/T来补一下吧

i.e.

(1) GPA 2.9, GMAT 720, should I retake the GMAT (I will generate a distinguished essay regardless)?

(2) I have a relative strong and outstanding leadership experience through work, but have almost zero community activity/service. Can my work experience compensate the lack of community activity/service?

Thanks

Sorry, no comments on individual application package.

由于申请的准备工作耗时耗力，本人想辞职全身心准备申请。但这样会不会在简历上留下污点，进而影响申请结果？

烦请高人指点！谢谢

这是我的履历背景，请问我这样的背景申请你们学校有希望吗？？非常感谢！！

GMAT 750

TOEFL 105

2001-2005—— 上海财大本科毕业,金融专业 GPA：3.5左右

2005-2007 —— 在一家大型制造生产业公司从金融助理跳到金融主管，主管银行融资这一块儿。因为自己年纪还小，所以跟公司申请想继续深造，考读研究生，公司给与充分支持，并强烈邀请毕业后重返公司。

2007年9月——  考入贵州大学入读金融系研究生（我的家乡和公司厂房都在贵州）

在校读书一年至2008年7月——重返这家公司，边工作边写论文。感谢公司非常支持，现在的工作岗位提升到经理级别。年薪20w-30w。现在论文完成的差不多了，并且还是不能满足现学到的东西，想要去美国商学院入读MBA。

加起来到2010年。工作经历为4年。

请问，这样子断断续续的工作经历，对申请会不利吗？？学校接受吗？？

春逸盎然

应届毕业生是不是HBS一点机会都没有？2+2program是不是专为应届开放的？

"TOEFL and IELTS
The HBS MBA Program is built upon an immersive learning experience that encourages public speaking, group discussions, and active class participation. To succeed, students must possess a highly developed proficiency in written and oral English.

• Candidates who received their bachelor's degree from an English-speaking university are not required to take the TOEFL or IELTS (i.e., they are exempt).
• Candidates who received their bachelor's degree from a non-English-speaking university are required to take either the Internet-based version of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL IBT) and/or the International English Languge Testing System (IELTS).
• Candidates who received a master's or Ph.D. degree from an English-speaking university are strongly encouraged to submit the TOEFL IBT and/or IELTS.
              
• Scores from tests taken before January 1, 2008 will not be accepted.
• The MBA Admissions Board discourages any candidate with a TOEFL score lower than 109 on the IBT from applying.

Those candidates required to take the TOEFL IBT or IELTS must have received at least their unofficial scores prior to submitting their application. Both overall and component test scores must be reported on the application form.
All applicants must request that ETS (for the TOEFL) and/or IELTS send official copies of their scores to HBS. The Harvard Business School ETS code number for the TOEFL IBT is 3444.
To obtain information about these tests, visit: www.toefl.org or www.ielts.org.

Hi,

Above is the response I received from HBS MBA Admissions. I am in a case of the highlighted bullet and wonder whether I could waive TOEFL. "Strongly encouraged" is a somehow vague expression. So far as I know, Stanfort and MIT do not require TOEFL for my case. Therefore I don't want to take it. What do you perceive? Any negative impact on my appication if I don't follow this "strong recommendation"? Hope I can get some insights from you guys.

Thanks in advance!

Hi HBS 2010! I am really excited to see you here sharing your valuable experieces, and I appreciate it from bottome of my heart. I received the HBS 2+2 interview invitation recently, and I saw someone else asking about this in the replies earlier; You said they are looking for quite different people here compared with regular MBAs. Could you explain further on this? Since I am only an undergrad and have no experience at all, I am wondering why they would want someone like me?

And if you don't mind, could you please talk more about their teaching(since people generally have a high expectation about it)? What do you hate most there, anything from life to academic? (I am sorry for being so intrusive..)

Thank you very much!

Thanks HBS 2010!

有两个问题：

1. 学校对于re-applicant有什么相对区别的对待么？录取时会不会有相应的考虑？

2. 如果在英语为母语的国家的世界知名公司工作1年以上有没有IBT waive的政策呢？

谢谢！
