We are Simon (2010)

grant1

我收到SIMON的资料,(他们可能是通过GMAT考试机构知道我的分数和地址的,我出来没有和他们联系过,也没有送过任何成绩),说我被他们选为priority candidate,并免了申请费.我想问一下SIMOM的CDER这种信是发给很多人的还是仔细挑选的,如果申请录取率一般和其他申请人比能高多少?SIMON是个好学校,但是如果录取率不高,我也不想再写申请信了,实在精力有限.

谢谢!

Thank you, skydra. i have a same question as mapleking.

i have received simon's offer. but there is still a lot of money even though simon offer me a scholarship.

Q: would you mind sharing some info'bout its MSF,too?
As the placement rate this year, internship oppotunities in Kodak or Xerox HQ?

A: Simon opened its one-year MSF program to international students who have no working experience. In 2008, its MSF program has about 40 students, 25 out of which came from China. 
I don't quite understand your second question. I could help you to contact with some current MSF student here if you need more detailed information.

Q: 我想问一下每年有多少大陆去的，都是学finance的么？工作机会怎么样，尤其今年？国内校友都是在哪些行业或公司？谢谢！

A: 2010'MBA 一共有7个从中国大陆来的学生，其中可能有少一半有Finance的背景。
今天的就业形势并不太好。美国经济不景气是一个很大的原因。Simon以Finance方向为最强，而今天Finance是重灾区。
Simon在国内的校友并不多（据我所知）。他们有在金融证券业的，也有在传统产业或制造业的。

Q: How big is the chance to get admitted from waiting list? Will the waiting-listed one get any scholarships if admitted eventually?

A: Sorry, crazystupid, I have no answer to this question. I'm not the admission office.

A: 我当年和你的情况差不多，在收到Simon application fee waive之前，我都没听说过这个学校。对于国际学生，Simon的录取在GMAT上的权重较高，所以既然你所要付出的只是半天时间和一个邮寄费，为什么不试试呢？

Q: Is there any other financial aid for international students? or can i get a loan?

A: I'm afraid that the only financial aid for international students are the one from Simon (Disregard this answer if you do know some other resource).

About the loan, you need American citizen to be your co-signer to get a loan.
