Hi, Drifty snail,just call me kevin,may i have the honor to your name? fully understand fisherrui's busy schedule...and many thanks for your prompt reply,

1)i attended IVEY's case study trial class and get the impression that case pedegogy is not so applicable and practical in teaching operation courses, like accounting or Finance... could you pls share with us some of your own experience? rumor says chinese guys only sleep 4 hours per day to prepare the tons of reading materials, is it that difficult to follow? and how is your class situation? including the number of chinese students admitted last year...

2) how is the job placement this year? do most of the chinese students get summer intership? usually in what fileds? last but not least, any of your retrospection (心得和体会)after being there a while?

many thanks for being the beacon light to our followers,wish i can sail safe to the harbor without meeting shipwreck

我没觉得啊。虽然学校是很偏爱“成熟”申请人,但我感觉这种成熟更多是personality上面的。而且我也有看到2-3年工作经验的同学。

不过的确,入学时候的平均年工作年限应该差不多4年。

(上述统计数据仅限中国大陆申请人)

Hi Kevin,

I just arrived in Darden for a few days and the new semester will start from Aug 24. Sorry that I don't have my personal experience regarding the case method life here. However, it is rumor that Chinese students just sleep 4 hours each day. Second year student will give you more insights here. Of course the life in Darden is not easy and Darden is not for everyone, as my interviewer said. For example, during the company briefing season, students still need to complete the 3 case study in the afternoon, whilst there are two company briefing at the same time.

The job placement is very good - as compared of most of other top schools from my observation. All the Chinese students who looked for internship (I heard that one 2y student didnt look for intern for personal reasons but I dont know details) successfully got their  intern. Based on my understanding, there are 4 in mainland now and the rest are in the states. For the 4 in mainland China, 2 in PE/VC, 1 in J&J, I am not sure about the other one. We will try to faciliate the details for both Y1 intern and Y2 full time job (so far I know 2 in Bain Shanghai) placements and let you know later.

We have 8 ppl from mainland this year plus a few overseas Chinese students.

Being here for a while, we are firm it's a definitely fantastic school derserves each of you talent. Darden is kinda low key in mainland China and but we see that the Alumni is making something different. The school has organized several gatherings before we came to US. The univerisity ( ranked No.1 or No.2 in public schools keeping abreast with UC-Berkley) is also paying more attention to market herself in China.

Please give us a sometime as we havent settle down here. Later on we will take more time to answer your questions.

Good Luck.

Sonia is talking about second year students and I know several sis & bro have around 2-3 years working experience.

Share with you the background for the 1 year students from mainland:

2 from top banks
1 from consulting
2 from sales and marketing
1 from HR service
1 from operation
1 from engineering

the group is very difersified and the average working experience is 5 years this time, for Chinese students.

Question 1:

In my class, 8 from main land China,  and 8? or 9? for year 2009.   4 hours, hehe, could be.  But it really depends (on your own).  Plus, I guess the average sleeping hour for a decent US B-Shool student should be less than 7.  As long as you pass GMAT and IBT with "solid" score, you should be fine.  As for the comment on Finance and Accounting, yes, you are right.  Case methord is for sure not the best for this kind of classes, thus you better have some Finance knowledge.  In my class, all 7 people have finance related background.   

Question 2:

All class 2009 Chinese students got decent jobs:

2 to Bain, China, consultent, with more than 100K package.

2 to  Danaher, GM trainee,with 120K+ package. (first 1-2 years in the US)

1 got several offers (not sure which one she/he took), Nike Corp Finance and a better one. US.

One Amazon Japan, she/he didnot take it.

Other 2, they do have offers, in China, but as long as I know, they are still hurting for better options.  Guess they are trying to stay in the US.

Class 2010 Summer:

1. Amway, Corp Finance, Audit. US.

2. Corp Finance and GM trainee, the biggest seed company in the world, US.

3. Internal Audit, F500 Tech company, US

4. Corp M&A, F500 company, US

5. Corp Finance, planning, J&J, US offer, base in SH.

6. Bank of China International,  PE department, Beijing.

7,8: Summer associate, local funds, SH.

(Class 2010 summer, all above are mainland China students.)

Two ABCs:

Citi, IBD, NYC

MMC, Corp Fin, NYC

Hope I answered your questions.  Personally, I believe, given the current situation, our job placement is quite good.
