背景，美本top 50 liberal arts college. double major in Economics & Spanish. multiple exchange experiences. accounting & PE fof internships GMAT, took it in sophomore year, 740 GRE, JJ in one day, 1490. lol
申请学校：duke mms round 2, columbia mfe, mit msf round 2, cmc msf round 1, princeton msf, lse f & pe
结果：duke ad with interview, mit ad with interview, princeton rej w/o interview cmc got interview invitation last saturday, lse completed on Feb 2 (a long way to go) columbia w/o interview (so i guess that's a rej)
建议：
duke mms: package yourself as employable. at the same time, be passionate and show strong involvements in extracurricular activities.
a must: a rec letter from EMPLOYER! this helps a lot!
columbia mfe: first i took it as a safety school because i saw SO MANY chinese students in the engineering school. well, columbia didn't even offer me an interview opportunity. my suggestion would be - apply only if you really have a quantitative background and want to do quant stuff.
princeton msf: similar to columbia. i only applied due to some coaxing from a friend. but it turned out to be a bad decision (my app fee!!) my observations: they care about the brand names of your school and internships as much as your academic achievements. my liberal arts college fellows, please look at their resumes online. i remember i only saw one student from swarthmore. so i won't suggest any with lac background to apply if you are not from a top 5. i didn't ask my employer to write the rec letter for princeton, which might be the reason for no interview.
mit: similar to duke mms. maybe more focus on being employable. employer rec letter would help a lot.
cmc: a great great school. rewinding 4 years back, i applied to cmc under early decision and got rej, prolly due to my financial need. lol. i didn't ask my employer to send rec letter to them but still got the interview invitation. but haven't heard back since then. they have strong placements and generous scholarships' offerings.
