Hello folks,
Below is the conversation between one of the candidates of CUHK and me. I post it here without his permission (sorry) for I think it might be helpful to you guys in some respects.
Sorry to those who had inquired of me here, for I was tooo busy to answer your questions one by one promptly. Again, I suggest you call me directly on weekend and I can respond to your concerns throught a direct way.
Or you may have a gathering to share views among yourselves like your counterparts did in Beijing and I could try to invite 2 or 3 alumni to answer your questions on the spot.
Wish you all luck!
Robert
Below are my comments on your questions: 1)Frankly speaking, CUHK (and also HKUST) is not in a very strong position of considerable prestige in mainland, especially compared with CEIBS. However, the recent years have witnessed the progress CUHK has made. Since 2002, CUHK has started to realize that she has to explore the mainland job market for her graduates. The intense CUHK alumni networking both in mainland and HK are extremely high-valued by MBA office and graduates theirselves. With the closer economic relationship and business transactions between HK and mainland, CUHK is trying to transplant her deep-rooted connection with regional industrial and commercial society, in which HKUST obviously is weak,to mainland. Taking myself as example, I had got several referrals from MBA office, professors and also alumni when I came back from HK for job hunting, and had got interviews from most of the recruiters. Believe or not, it only took me 3 weeks to get my first offer after my return.
2)Age could not be a problem as long as you are still energetic in and enthusiastic about learning new stuff. Actually, the average age of students for recent years are about 28 and 29. I myself was 34 years old, the second senior one in my class at that time. In my mind, over half of the mainlanders are between 27 to 35 of current candidates. They are all very mature mentally and experienced in their professional lives. I am sure you will enjoy the atmosphere of CUHK.
It is hard to convey all my thoughts about CUHK in a few sentences. So may I suggest you to log in forum.chasedream.com for there are lots of candidates like you sharing simillar concerns about CUHK. It might also help you to ponder over the alternative from different points of view.
