[迷茫～求助]:这样的背景申Chicago有希望吗?

zytnichole

GMAT 730+5

四大三年，其间没有很outstanding的经历，做in charge的机会很少

本科毕业于上海外贸，GPA 3.7

心仪的学校就是Chicago 的Booth 和Darmouth的Tuck

想请各位大牛帮我看看,这样的背景现在如果想申Chicago的Booth是否需要重新考GMAT呢？

因为感觉自己的综合实力很一般，GMAT又考了这么个分数，真的好纠结要不要再去尝试考个再高点的分数呢？

thks a lot ～

GMAT没必要了，关键看Essay啦~

730 is plenty for 4-10 schools.  MBA programs generally like people with accounting backgrounds.  You have a reasonable shot at Booth.  Just write strong essays.

谢谢你们的鼓励。

不过想到今年N多四大人申请，大家background的都七上八下的。我这GMAT又只是刚好够用。感觉申请Chicago之路肯定会很艰辛～～～

今年不光是4大的，很多美国本土的都来凑热闹，比如我，每个人都有自己的实力和有点，要对自己有信心。。。我也在申tuck round2的，不过你如果是单身来美国读书，不是之大和疙瘩更适合你吗。tuck太偏了啊。

I agree with Shengxuf.  Location matters MORE for students who are coming straight from China.  It is just easier to network and adapt to a larger city than a remote town in New Hampshire.  You should put more emphasize on Chicago, NW, CBS, NYU, Berkeley than Tuck. 

Tuck is a great school, but it might be more suitable for someone who is already in the US.

EVERY YEAR there are many big 4, banking, consulting, IT, etc people applying to b-school.  Accounting background is not weak.  Also, you can't change who you are and what you did... So at  this time you should focus on what you can do- write good essays to highlight your vision and and your accomplishments at your big4 company.

ls说得很有道理呢～

我钟情tuck是因为我认识的一个很牛的JJ就是那个学校毕业的，不过她是在那里读本科，后来MBA就去Stanford念了。我一直好崇拜她的，所以一直对tuck念念不忘的～而且它还是在Hanover,貌似是个很宁静的小镇～应该和苏州的感觉差不多吧

感觉哥大的档次好像跟芝加哥差不多的吧～申两个水平不相上下的学校会不会风险稍大啊？

这句话很中肯，不过是在是觉得自己在big4里没什么accomplishments唉～信心严重不足～

楼主背景很不错了！

如果有把握把GMAT考到770+，还是可以重考一次的。否则，就没必要了。

谢谢鼓励，不过考到730我都觉得很lucky了～上770的话，真要RP大爆发了！
