求定位保底校。。

Stellaxue

非常无聊的看了楼上的讨论。。楼主的确很优秀，这不可否认，申请到名校希望也非常大，但我也想说楼主如果只申名校名项目的话也要做好一个不中的准备，比如找一个保底的工作之类的。。毕竟我身边也有一些条件和楼主相当的candidate...And , who knows, sometimes外国学校选择学生的criteria也会和我们想象的有一些不同~~

表达一下个人看法，如错勿怪：P

Actually I'm quite interested in how many PKU/THUers are gonna apply for MIT this yr?Heard quite a few...
I guess for Chinese,our competitors are mainly within China...SO....
And学长once said our school is competitve enough,but still not sure how it compares to top 2 in msf application.

弱弱说一句， 我的学校今年在全球表现可以，姑且算全球TOP40之前了， 我的教授，美国人，在没有我任何附加信息的情况下，得知我想申罗村，他让我多选一些后面的学校。 楼主确实很挺优秀，比我也优秀很多。但是楼主这般优秀的学生，真的在我周围太多了……

我第一次申，不知道什么才算好背景，但是我从教授们那里得来的信息基本都是， DIVERSIFY……

I guess you are in US?Thanks for the info,for now,Im mainly considering competitors in China.The application record overall is quite good in our dept,thats why I choose less.Afterall diversifying still comes with cost,whether effort or money...

Well sure it is. but as a finance person, I would say diversiity reduce risk. lol.  I am concerned with candidates from CHN too. they have crazy GPA and G. but anyway, ppl have their own theories, so I would diversify my list far far behind those TOPS. lol. good luck

Last year 9 PKUers got offer in MIT. 7 with corporate finance background and 2 with quantitive. Both 2 with quant background reject MIT at last.

At last we are in  "target school" list. And be well prepared for the interview...

Do not apply for 2nd tier school.
If you are rejected, just 延毕 and travel around the world. The degree in Rochester or BU is totally worthless for you. This will only make people curious about your performance in FDU--- That you go to these school proves that you have weak point.

That's what I have on my mind.If I'm really unlucky this yr, l'll gap and travel to EU,be it volunteer work or overseas internship.Dont mind such detour.
That's why I chose COLUMBIA as保底校 in the first place... Thanks for making me determined on this.Afterall,life is not just about “goin to US-stay" whatever.
I guess my final list now would berinceton,MIT,Columbia,Ox,Cam,LSE,NYU. Any suggestion in adding any?not sure abt WUSTL or Vandy yet...
