对于我们这些凡夫俗子而言，这样的好事是不可能轮到我们的。

看了这个帖子我除了恭喜你外，没有别的想法了。唉

congratulation and wish Renzhen can improve himself greatly in pursuing the PHD degree, being able to reach your top goal!!

I do not think the achievement made by Renzhen can not be obtained by us. As some friends said above: Renzhen deserves what he got because he work hard and stick to his goals! And the most important is that he does not regret what he did( that is what I need to learn

So I will set Renzhen as the model and strive hard to fulfill my ideals!!

do envy you! Sorry I mis-typed "envy" as "ency"

Suddenly, I remember someone once told me that if you were not able to pursue the Ph.D. abroad four years after your graduation, it was not worth continuing and the possibility in succeeding is small. But after I learned about the experience and background of Renzhen, I profoundly realize that as long as you keep your belief all the way in your mind, time is not question, age is not question too and you will succeed in the end.

Thank you! Renzhen. Congratulations! May you a brighter future( Although your future is bright enough!)!

Your words are indeed moving and stimulating!

就算永远上不了哈佛我也不会放弃自己的理想，相信同样也能成功。这个一年前的老牛贴能让我体会到的就是这句话。

I would like to share some of background and thoughts for your reference and hope it is helpful to at least some of Ph D applicants.
Chinese ancestors said: "To plan and execute is up to you, but to succeed is up to god (or heaven)".  My interpretation is that I do my best and then have no regret no matter what the consequence is.
GMAT: all sections >90th percentile, TOEFL 650
M.Sc. (nothing relevant to business) + MBA (finance)
Some publications in the major of M.Sc. (irrelevant to business but can be used to prove research ability)
Strong recommendation letters from professors and one person who knows me really well.
Strong work experiences: around 10 years + mgmt position in the world No. 1 company in one industry.
Rich international experiences: visited, worked, and studied in more than 15 countries.
Strong spoken English: English as work language. Teach in English in some B-schools.
Excellent statement of purpose: very logic and with expression of my true research interest, checked by native well-educated English speaker.
Campus visit: contact professors already in last Sep. and visited them at the end of last year.
If I ask myself: "Have you done your best?" My answer surely: "Yes!"
If I ask myself: "Have you reached your top goal?" I may say: "No!"
If I ask myself: "Do you have regret?" Surely: "No!"
In sum, I am not a very bright person, I mean, very smart or clever. However, I work very hard. I admire those people who have achieved remarkable accomplishment when they were still young. I have achieved something remarkable as well but it takes longer than some true talent and hard-working people. I will keep going ahead to pursue the excellence I may never reach. That is the beauty of Confucianism - No one is perfect and that is the reason one can take perfection as a life-long goal even though no one can truely reach that goal. It is a concept. It is a glory.
Wish we all the best!

interested in your age...//sorry for offence if age is a secret
