多谢楼主的帖子，解答的真详细。

上周面试了Emory，可是一直没收到任何邮件。不知道是什么意思？是不是面试没通过，不要申请的意思？

Have you submitted your package? Interview is part of your application, I don't think you will receive any separated feedback before your package being submitted.

请Insider帮我Evaluate一下我的背景申请Emory吧，最近对定位很折磨……

1.GMAT 740，IELTS 8 （ibt过期了，还没再考）

2.Big 4，2 years

3.GPA 3.96，Top Univ

4.推荐信有大牛Partner，不过他不怎么熟悉我……Essay在努力中。想赶第一轮。

我知道我的硬件还行，但是致命缺点是工作时间太短。本来想试一下，但是越写越心虚，这两天开始怀疑自己应不应该申请了。请过来人客观的给一点建议，是属于努力还是有希望的，还是可以努力但你们一般没有2年工作经验的applicant。

另外，从insider的角度，lz觉得我如何explain 只有两年就申请学校会觉得比较合理。真实的原因是，女孩子想趁年轻出去感受一下，四大到后面只是在财务报表的细节上扣，觉得收获边际效应递减。

真的很感谢！

这个背景不止emory

你再工作1～2年可以申columbia/NYU，更适合

To aliciazu, 你这个背景应该申请任何学校都可以的，当然每个学校都是看各人综合的情况来决定。2年工作经验比平均值是短一些，但是基本没有关系的。Emory这里有不少同学的工作经验短于3年。

申请emroy有IELTS就不用考Toefl了。我去年就是用IELTS的。

欢迎申请，有问题再随时贴上来。

Definitely you are very competitive. Just as somebody mentioned already, you are strong enough for any b-school based on these numbers. And when you are enrolled next year, you will have 3-year work experience, that's not a "fatal" issue.

However, you need to dig out "why now". What brought you to the application? What's your future career plan? What's the gap between your current condition and your plan? And how the b-school (Goizueta, or anyone else) will help you to bridge that gap? Ask yourself and listen to your heart. Yes, you may have some other "true" reasons, but that's not what you can speak to the adcom. If you cannot answer these questions, then you are not well prepared. You should be passionate about your own decision first.

And you are from a typical candidate pool, so you will need to prove that you have more potential than those who are more experienced do. How about your promotion progress in your company compared with your peers? Or is there any other personal achievement? Try to think from different angles, find your own shiny points and build up your story in a holistic way.

You may also check on the website or with the adcom to see whether IELTS score works. Good Luck.

Thx for the tips. They're really useful! Keep posted!

Since you are physically in US, I will advise you to visit our campus in a Super Saturday Event. the first event is coming next Sat. Many prospective students come, and if you don't make the trip without a strong reason...then you may have a problem.

Yes, the interview is formal. You may need to wrap up your stories consistent and prepare for detailed questions to follow. Tie your experience with our core value...the school really takes it seriously. Also pay attention to your future career plan, as we are in such an economy.

请教一个问题：Emory的成绩单要求：Official transcripts should be sent directly from ALL undergraduate and graduate schools attended，就是要从学校直接寄出来是吗？ 可是我现在人已经在北美，很不方便让国内学校寄，已经带了成绩单密封件出来，那么，如果我自己寄的，学校能否接受呢？

It should be OK if your transcript has a sealed chop from the school.

请问emory是如何审材料呢

如果托福成绩晚于deadline寄到学校，是不是要打入下一轮？

现在只能赶第2轮，赶不上的话第3轮还有机会么，奖学金第3轮应该没了吧？

谢谢

Would you please check Goizueta's website or refer to the content posted on 15F first? Goizueta's admission is on rolling basis, the deadline is for reference only.

The application package review process should be of no major difference from other schools'. If you have got the on-line TOEFL score, I will advise you to check with the admission office directly. But they will not make any decision until your official TOEFL transcript arrives.
