Goizueta (Emory) MBA Class 2011 Taking Questions

wuyc

请教一下,上面提到今年还有NO-COSIGNER的贷款,那么是不是还是像以前一样,有个限额呢?

You may check the above website for details (See Option 2). But to give you some general clue, here is info extracted from there: An applicant must be an international student attending Goizueta and become a member of the Emory Alliance Credit Union to receive funding. You may borrow up to $84,000 for your MBA program with a limit of $50,000 for each academic year (or the cost of attendance less any other aid received).

So you mean your undergraduate is majored in law but you did not practice? I don't know people with the same background. But it should not keep you from applying. 2-year MBA program doesn't require a business academic background or work experience. Just make sure that your story is consistent and persuasive.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Let me give you some more details. My undergradute major was computer science. I moved to U.S after getting the degree,. I have been working in a law firm untill now (3 years), which has nothing to do with computer science.. I have been considering going to law school or business school. And I have decided to apply for MBA in Emory for next academic year now. My background is a bit complicated.and non traditional. So my concern is whether it is tough for such a person to secure a job in a new position and industry. I would like to know whether there are some people with the same situation that landed a job after MBA graduation.

Thank you again.

To be frankly, it's not easy to find anybody here of similar background. Maybe there is, but I don't know.

Goizueta does have a JD/MBA dual degree. And we do have several students pursuing this dual degree. Typically you will spend 2.5 years in law school and 1.5 years in Goizueta. Here is relevant info on our website if you are interested: http://www.goizueta.emory.edu/degree/fulltimemba/JD-MBA.html 

Besides, this year we have a student from Venezuela whose works for a law firm for his entire career life up to now. And he is not in JD/MBA dual degree program.

Considering current economy, everybody faces challenges to "secure" a job. Maybe you could think this way: You studied computer science and worked for a law firm --- what's in common and what's the difference? How the two industries benefit you from different angles? What's your drive to enter a law firm instead of computer-related industry? What's your drive to apply for b-school now? Try to sort out the gap between now and future, and try to prove that a combination of your past and Goizueta can bridge that gap. Try to rationalize it.

你好!

是不是面试没通过的话,后面的package就不用再提交了,emory的申请就可以结束了.

另外,下面的这两个deadline前提交的package,是不是都是在2月份集中面试? 还是中间会有校友面试?

November 1, 2009 - Early Deadline

December 1, 2009* - Recommended International Deadline

请问lz，刚拿到面试通知，信中说要穿professional business attire，请问是不是一定要穿西装上衣呢？
天气这么热，我想只穿一件衬衫+领带可以吗？

还有，西装必须是深色的吗？
此外，皮鞋必须100%乌黑澄亮的那种吗？

谢谢！

Personally I don't think it will shut the door if you did not get interview invitation this time. There is still plenty of time.

And if you check our world tour website (link shared already), you will find Goizueta will be in China in Jan 2010 to do interviews. I don't think we do any alumni interview.

I am checking with Admission office for more details, but please be patient as they are traveling currently.

Congratulations.

Here is Goizueta's definitiion of professional business attire, and the standard is universal actually.

Men:

• Dark suit (navy blue, black, charcoal)
• White collared shirt (white undershirt)
• Tie
• Dark Socks (knee-length), dark shoes, dark belt

Women:
    

• Dark pants or skirt suit (navy blue, black, charcoal, brown)
• Long sleeved collared shirt - solid color
• Very minimual jewelry
• Hosiery, dark, low heeled closed-toe shoes.

Please follow strictly. Don't give the interviewer any excuse to fail you.

(BTW, you are interviewed in a hotel...there is air-con! And you can take a cab to the venue, if you are worried about the temperature. Or you can get earlier to get yourself cooler...)
