请教，工程师是不是最不待见的申请者？

一个老工程师含泪飘过……

我也有强烈的同感。他们说有diversity,但有一个另类的算有，有十个也是有，除非非常非常出众，否则被top20录取的工程师，尤其补是IT业地工程师，很难。这是我的感受。

同意LS，纯工程师的同学建议要跳出编程的套路，多写一些在工作中管理相关的事例。我想起斯坦佛毕业的雷鸣进MBA之前是百度的架构师，我想他的Essay不会只是写编程的事情。

百度的构架师...  构架师... 这个可不是什么工程师了，构架师至少和group manager一级的..

再一看 “2003年7月，雷鸣辞去百度首席架构师一职，远赴美国斯坦福大学攻读MBA”。。。 这个是VP级别的了

MBA里面，工科背景的挺多，
工程师有一些，但大部分是entry level。
纯技术背景>5年的就真不多了。

建议工程师们，想要申请就尽快，最好读书的时候就做准备。

It's true there are tons of engineers want to get mba. However, mba also recruit tons of engineers. Actually mba recruits more engineers than any other profession(business included) engineers hav some core qualities such as analitical skill which is desired by top business firm(IB!!). If u r an engineer, be happy that u r mba's target group. Now it's time for u to differentiate uself among engineers. Comparing uself with ur closest colleagues is a good start(background+future goal)!  

Pls be warned: many engineers who tried to switch into IB this year failed making their career change and ended up with less salary than they had prior mba.

ls请仔细看完整个thread再发言吧,你说的那个论调早被反驳过了
应该是tons of engineering background but a few engineers才对

为什么

I'm a software engineer for 4+ years in American company.
I only get promoted in rank, becoming a "senior" engineer.
I receive admission from Rady, UCSD.
Maybe it is not a top b-school but it is good for me.
I would join high-tech post MBA, Rady gives me $$ and CA has high-tech opportunities.
I interviewed with CMU and still wait for their decision by 3/14.

My suggestion is that if you could clearly state a career goal fit for you, admission is not really a big problem.
However, if you want to switch to banker, you have to ask one thing to yourself: Can your "why MBA" convince yourself?
If yes, I think you could convince AdCom as well.
Making money doesn't work.
What have you done in order to become a banker?

My two cents.

唉，选校的时候应该再仔细斟酌一下了。Rady还不错，恭喜LS。
