英国读的硕士如果是1年,所以不能免Toefl或者IELTS。“If English is not your native language or you have not graduated with a degree from an English speaking university or worked in an English speaking country for at least two years, you MUST take an English language test.”我是因为在英国工作的时间够了,就免了。我和几个MBA的Admission Officer都聊过,在他们考虑的因素里G和T的比重并不是非常重要,如果其它方面都很突出的话,G和T过了一定的线就行了,具体参考可以参考学校公布的平均分。我的经验是Essay,Resume,Reference和填申请表(申请表也需要申请人提供很多信息,也要写不少东西)更花费时间和精力,也对申请的影响更大。
I heard that one of the major pitfalls with LBS is the funding isssue.Could you maybe shed some light on the HSBC loan program? According to some sources, the loan program is almost inaccessible for Chinese students. As the bank puts a cap on the total amount one can borrow based on his pre-mba earning ability. Is that true? Could you share with us your experience?
