求择校建议，High tech & GM方向

JonFrank

Hello my friend, happy to offer up some basic thoughts here.  Your TOEFL is a bit low as you know, and the GMAT isn’t a stand out.  But both scores are solid—while you wont have a great shot at top ten schools (without a stronger TOEFL especially) the idea of top 20 is certainly possible for you.  USC, Emory, Darden, Ross…these places will be within striking distance for you.  I would also consider UT Austin and Carnegie Mellon, since both have great focuses on IT.  Carnegie Mellon’s specialty is actually converting IT guys into managers.  Hopefully this helps—and good luck!

多谢大侠！不知道你是在哪所学校？难道之前也是IT同行?

哈哈，感谢感谢！
我是在三星～
这个数据学校网站有吗？还是写 E-mail去要？
我看了一些学校网站好像没有的说。只有class profile

UTA 要 cosigner

LZ是在samsung？
建议去各学校找employment repot，看里面technology的placement rate
我这里有些数据：
Technology
Kellogg: 9%
Tuck: 8%
Ross: 11.8%(加州的placement很好)
Darden: 4%
Duke:9% (加州的placement也不错)
Haas: 26.3%(这个当然没的说了)
UCLA: 16.2%
另外UTA 身在科技中心，这个比例也有20%，建议考虑

学校的career report里面都有详细数据的。不过有的进入这些tech公司做operation或者finance啊什么的，所以只能做个参考吧

Hi Frank, thanks a lot for your comments!

Here is one more question.
For the "fit" issue around b-school selection , would you plz share any opinion?

From my point, I can only select the school by my career goal, by the chat with alumni and by the info from web/bbs.
But, these info are overwhelming and even inconsistent sometimes.

As a fresh MBA applicant , how could I identify the fit efficiently?
Many thanks ^_^

Hey there!  You don’t need to worry about this—all schools need ALL kinds of people.  So for example, Kellogg is known for marketing.  CBS is known for finance.  But Kellogg needs finance people!  CBS needs marketing people!  And the woman who heads up marketing at CBS is pretty important, I assure you.  Kellogg’s finance department is among the best in the country!  It is of course a top school, one of the best in the world.  So yes, you do need to explain that you would fit in well with the people at Kellogg (they all do team projects, love each other, teamwork etc.) and you do need to explain why you wanna be in NYC—fit IS important.  rove to the school that you DO want to go there.  But ultimately, there is no need to change your career goals—you are who you are—your best application will be very similar for ALL schools.  Hope this helps…

Hi Frank, are you still here^_^?

I have a question about short term goal.
Could I set SG as rotation leadership program in high-tech corporations?
Is it too late for a 34yrs old guy(when I graduate from b-school) to join this kind of programs?

Or what's the typical age of the guys who join this kind of leadership program?

Thank you so much~~

韩哥，我悄悄的插一句，high-tech这种项目比较少哦，我印象中只有AMD有，其他的比如Google, M$, Dell, Tencent等都不是rotation program。
这种program在化工，医药，重型机械等行业比较多。

LS is not correct.

High tech companies have such program too. But they will give only a few seats to selected schools. For example, Qualcomm, which I believe to be a dream company for LZ, recruits 1-2 people at Haas.

LZ's background is mainly with CT other than IT. CT players such as Ericsson, Cisco and Nokia have such programs too.

And your age will never be a disadvantage. Those companies I mentioned DO care your industry expertise MUCH MORE than your MBA degree.

感谢 tianya君的指正
