Illinois (UIUC) MBA 伊利诺伊大学香槟分校Class of 2013答疑(R2 deadline Jan 15th,last round fo

illinoisMBA13

我们是Illinois MBA 2013届的同学，‘12有2名大陆生，’13有4名，今年size of class成长到了123个 人，比去年的多了将近20个，但已经达至上限，估计明年也不会有太多的增长，维持小班的宽松风格，上课分成2 个section，小班授课好处多，不像HBS那些个名校弄不弄就是1000+名，good news是，commitee有感于去年中国申请人的热情，今年准备录取6到8名来自中国的学生，算上可能回绝offer的情况，发出的offer可能会上2位数。今年illinois MBA的US News名次从42涨到了37，维持近几年的上升势头。项目Dean要将MBA推入top20的激情继续燃烧中。MBA ROI（投入回报率）历年均位列全美3甲。奖学金出的也不难，即使申请的时候没有，2年内还有无数scholarship competition的机会。毕业生80%都留在了Mid-West工作，个人认为是美国最适合生活的区域。历年大陆生毕业留美的比例约为50%。具体班级组成，请看http://www.mba.illinois.edu/admissions/。
班级组成比较diversified，banking,Corporate, IT, Engineering,市场，operation，consulting都有。行业也几乎涵盖所有，甚至连MD都有，天天给我们灌输医院道德悖论。
今年平均GMAT650，也接受GRE，T只要别太低就可以，不过貌似低于104的要ESL。工作经验平均4年出头一点儿。 concentration主要是市场和金融，不过项目灵活度很大，第二年可以自定制课程。一般同学都有多于1个的concentration。
特色兴趣小组，IBC（illinois business consulting）有志consulting的同学们可以参与一下。
上课位于商学院BIF楼 （business instruction facility），2008年落成，全校唯一一栋不受大学管制的教学楼，历年商学院校友集资捐建，牛逼的不行，LEED platinum 建筑，（懂的同学可以给解释一下）。MBA和其他商科MS占领三楼，BIF美景一览无遗。
申请人有问必答，欢迎提问！


committee对于国际学生的问候原文如下：
“As to our policy on Chinese students,I don’t think there is anything in particular we have laid out that would bedifferent than applicants from other countries. As far as a target of number ofChinese students, we would like to be in the range of 6-8 Chinese students forthe Class of 2014.




You can always show ouradmissions profile as a guide for what we look for as far as a statisticalprofile is concerned: http://www.mba.illinois.edu/admissions/.
As to the more subjective aspectsof the application, we are looking for the following qualities:
1.Career-driven: Wewant all of our candidates to have a strong understanding of where they arecurrently at in their career, what their post-MBA career goals, and how theIllinois MBA’s curriculum and program offerings will help them to reach theirgoals. We evaluate this through the essays as well as the admissions interview.We generally want candidates to have at least two years of work experience andfive to six years is an ideal amount of work experience for a competitiveapplicant.
2.Team player: So muchof the MBA program is completed as part of a team, so we are looking forcandidates who have experience working in teams. Showing us that they can workthrough challenges presented by team dynamics is also valuable. We want to seehow candidates approach conflict to reach a mutual understanding.
3.Enthusiastic: On topof being qualified to succeed as an MBA student in the classroom, we also wantcandidates who are enthusiastic about joining the Illinois MBA. There are a lotof opportunities to get involved outside of the classroom, whether for socialevents or for experiential learning opportunities or for club activities.Showing involvement in volunteer organizations is a good way to show that theyare going to be engaged with their classmates at Illinois. When we see atalented professional who is also excited to experience everything our programhas to offer, it can take that application up to the next level.


Feel free to share Brian’s videowhere he talks about what we look for in applicants to the Illinois MBA: http://vimeo.com/29373953.”

Over the past few years, approximately 25%-33% of Chinese citizens found work in the U.S. Of the remaining 67%-75%, some of them do not try to work in the U.S., so this average may appear lower than it actually is. One way we are addressing our placement of internationals is through our admissions policies. Fluent English skills is the most important aspect for job placement in the U.S., so we have become tougher on our admissions decisions when it comes to English ability. Post-MBA job placement is at its most competitive right now, and we know that to have a chance of placement in the U.S., we have to get talented professionals with fluent English skills.

四大老来学校招，但是重点招本科，跟国内一样，他们要白纸。MBA主攻consulting，这个可以有。

根据以往经验，奖学金主要取决与哪个硬件标准？gpa还是gmat或者工作年限？
