GMAT成绩单的问题

或者辞职去做了一年志愿者, 去乡下支教什么的,都非常有意义

或者你说辞职去爬了次珠峰也成, 这绝对让你从众多申请者里脱颖而出.

这个还确实没干过，我也不好无中生有吧？我还是找个现实点的理由吧。。。哈哈

被裁员不可怕，可怕的是过去这几个月都荒废了。美国学校对这种因为经济原因而产生的裁员潮都很熟悉，所以不需要过于回避或撒谎去掩盖，当然了如果这个慌能撒的很圆的话就撒吧。我的建议是，照实说，一定要强调是第三波被裁掉的，起码证明不是performance issue。还有就是要把这几个月‘应该’做的事情写出来，比如说做义工帮助社区啦，去做了次对自己人生观和价值观有重大冲击的旅行啦。。。等等，深度挖掘一下吧。

其实最大的忌讳就是让adcom感觉你是因为被裁了所以才申请MBA。当然了也不能像你说的那样，因为想出国就放弃考CPA。这些是借口。我也是四大出来的，身边考下CPA又出了国的也有的是。其实想出国也不是不能写进essay里，但一定要写的深入些。比如说你想出国是为了扩展视野，增强适应力等等。听上去冠冕堂皇很多。

恩，说的的确是，想出国的理由我可以编的冠冕堂皇一点。所以重点是想想怎么样把这几个月做的事情梳理好。

我觉得不必烦恼,你可以说,你在工作几年之中,一直对某件事情很有兴趣(可以是任何和你Long term goal)有关的事情,然后一直在做准备,碰巧经济危机了,你觉得公司的业务能给你的learning也有限了,所以你索性辞职,全心全意的投入这个你感兴趣的long term goal里面,并且在过去这段时间属于self employed, 有了很多achievement, 稍有成就以后,你便开始想做的更多,但是之间有很多gap,你需要MBA来填补这些gap

帮顶...生孩子那个就算了...其他的可以考虑

面试官会问的，因为他们看到你填的资料就知道你几月份停止了工作，还是好好想想理由吧

其实，有的时候未必能避开不说吧。貌似某个学校申请系统上明确说出，本科毕业后大于2个月的gap都需要解释。当然，这个还是看学校的。

Never hide the truth. If you go and take a look at Rose Report (chicago), the admissions blog, you will see Booth actually admit many ppl who are laid off or even fired.

Don't view this setback as a negative thing. Think about what you learned thru this experience.

You understood that a narrow-scope career at such B4 is risky, as it limited your capacity or put you at risk in downturing periods.

Or you view this setback as an opportunity. During the break you took exams and demonstrated academic excellence again.

In the process, you also reflected career progress, and determined to pursue an MBA program, as you anticipate a greater role to play after MBA, after the crisis.

Don't hide. Just be yourself.
