请问lz, 我看到08就业报告上面有不少同学land a job in consulting的。请问中国同学有这种机会吗？特别是那些入学前背景不是咨询业的。另外，在07-08 top recruiting firm里面有不少consulting firm,不知道他们是否都有招人？还有如果可能的话，能否简单透露一下前几届中国学生毕业后的职业/职位都是些什么？

I like Emory for its small size and one-on-one coaching method. And now I've got several questions that hope you could give some advice:

- I learned that we will have concentrations with flexibility. how many concentrations can one take?

- Actually I will head for 2 kinds of jobs after MBA. One is strategic marketing positions in corporate and the other is consulting. And my long term is to go back to China to open my own marketing consulting firm. For the option of marketing in corporate, I can see that Goizueta's location does help. But what exactly job content one can have after graduation?

- I'm bit confused about the mid-semester module. What is it like?

Thanks a lot!

Thank you for posting your question here as advised.

Everyone will have a chance, but please also be prepared for the fierce competition. Actually, whether you can land a job in consulting depends on your own fitness, not home country.

We had Deloitte consulting presentation just yesterday. BCG & Bain will come next week. Accenture is also coming. Some other consulting firms are coming but not open to international students. And some are not coming but they will post positions to our career center later.

Most of the Chinese students are in finance, operation and marketing track. To be frankly speaking, if your intention is to land a job in big strategic or management consulting firm, you may need to consider whether Goizueta is the "right" school for you. I am not saying that you cannot make it in Goizueta, but just that it's not easy, esp for people with no consulting background.

Thank you for posting the question here as advised. I am glad that you are interested in Goizueta.

- Currently we have concentrations in finance, marketing, organization&management, accounting, global management and decision & info analysis. But in Goizueta, concentration is not required or limited. So you can customize it based on your own needs. And you will have core course in the first semester, after which all electives.

- We've met some Chinese alumni recently and some of them are in marketing track. But most of them are in the quantitative side. I'll say if you plan to stay in US for a couple of years after graduation, you may face a lot of competition from native students, as they are more familiar with local market and local customers. Marketing sometimes is really culture related. But if you don't mind to start from market analysis, I think it's not unattainable.

- Mid-semester module is a 1.5 week project in Spring semster. You can either stay in Atlanta to take some mini-courses or travel to other countries. It's kind of project based. In Spring 2009, Atlanta-based projects include healthcare, finance/valuation, syndicated data analysis for brand managers, communicating with your boss and economics & finance of sports. Global travel includes China, brazil and Dubai/Cairo.

学校的要求是相关的elective修满3-5门可以claim这方面的concentration（elective最少选13门，上不封顶）。但一般最多2个concentration，太多忙不过来。

I formerly worked in a whorld leading accounting firm in China as an auditor for 4 years, and now work as a project manager in a NGO organization founded in the US by Chinese people. I know that Goizueta provides a good opportunity for concentration on finance, consulting and marketing, etc. While my long-term goal is going back to China and establishing my own NGO. So here I want to get some information about the non-profit concentration in Goizueta. Thanks for sharing!
