没有community service经验，实在是不知道自己应该申请学校

chichipucca

我打算申请2011 Fall的MBA.
GMAT上个月刚考完：750/6.0。
北美某排名60多名学校的econ master.毕业以后在direct marketing 行业的一个公司作了整3年，算是北美的direct marketing比较大的公司。学习了不少CRM, merge purge 和segmentation知识。
今年四月份跳槽到政府部门。是州政府教育部的contracted的职位。学习用数据仓库，并且终于可以用到我一直想用却没有机会用的SAS。contract明年8月份结束。希望可以赶上趟。。。就是不知道我这点经验能申请些啥档次的学校？

没有community service经验是不是很杯具。。。

挺好的成绩挺好的背景。好好准备材料，冲击一流商学院吧。

一流的商学院是指排名前多少的？能给我钱吗？谢谢！

翡翠

一流商学院一般每个人心目中也许不太一样，比如M7，top15之类，应该都算一流的。

是否能够给钱很难说，要看你这一年的其他申请人怎么样。

排名这么靠前的？我没打算申请前20的学校。

pumpkin

一定要试试顶尖的学校，从TOP10里面选2所吧

没有金融投行背景申请那些名校是不是肉包子打狗阿？

自己顶一下，大侠们指点一下迷津。。

Hey there!  No it is not very bad—it will just be something that you need to somehow address in your application.  But you will need to do it subtly.  We work with many international clients especially who don’t have a ton of community service experience, and there is always a way around it.    You have a great GMAT score, and a good background.  You should be able to apply to schools this year.  Are there any organizations that you worked with during college?  If so, you could perhaps call them up and do a little work for them now.  That way, you would be able to say in your apps that you “have been working with this group on and off since college.”  That would make it sound like you have been doing a TON of community work.  If not college, then what about high school?  Is there a group that you worked with when you were much younger?  If so, call them up—and start to do a bit of work with them!  That way, you can say that for the past 20 years, you have been working with this group!    That would be the best way to handle it...
Hope this helps!
