密歇根商学院中国同学会客厅 - Michigan Chinese students taking questions

four days passed without any new question... let me bring you some newest info. from a resourceful and students-organized E-journal--- The Monroe Street Journal

Recruitment Status
As always, be sure not to read more than is warranted into the following figures. The data do show improvement when comparing the students who have reported this year as of November 4 to those who had reported as of November 4, 2003. Bottom line: a larger percentage of those reporting indicate that they have received and accepted offers this year.

Of the 87 BBAs who had reported, 55 (or 63.2%) reported having received an offer. At this point last year, 16 of the 36 BBAs reporting (44.4%) indicated an offer in hand, an increase of 19 points on small numbers.

Of the 173 MBAs who had reported, 104 (or 60%) reported having received an offer. At this point last year, 61 of the 134 MBAs reporting (45.5%) indicated an offer in hand, an increase of 14 points.

As alluded to above, among those students who have not reported, many probably do not have offers in hand. Additionally, several others in each class are actually not seeking positions as they continue their education, return to sponsoring employers or start their own businesses, so it is difficult to conclude too much from these figures at this point. Finally, as long as the reporting numbers remain small, we must be cautious with interpreting too much from the figures. We always urge you to visit iMpact and report your current status for the benefit of your classmates.

(I would like to suggest people who have interest in UM to subscribe this journal. It will help you update with the school. What's more, it is free and will be sent to your mailbox every two weeks.) the URL is: WWW.THEMSJ.COM

Michigan do offer scholarship to MBA students but it is very difficult to get. Good news is no matter you have scholarship or not, you can borrow guaranted Student Loan from Citi-Bank. It's a low interest loan program that need no co-signer for international student.

BTW, as far as I know, Michigan's student loan might be one of the lowest interest among all the other top schools.

Good luck,

I would like to ask a question about an optional Essay this year:

Describe an experience or experiences you have had that highlights the value of diversity in a business setting.

Is the objective to emphasize the importance of diversity in business? Or what's the exact meaning?

Thanks!

FYI...

Q1: Most Michigan interview questions are typical. You can refer to CD's collection of Interview tips.

Q2: Go to http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/mbainsider/mockinterviews2.html. There is a fresh info about preparing Michigan's interview.

What you said is just part of it. Moreover, you'd better emphasize what you have done in such setting with your understanding on diversity.

For DIVERSITY, there are some useful info I collected last year:

What does the “diversity” mean and what factors or contents does it include?

I do not think it only means international working or living experience or multi-culture background. Is it right to demonstrate in this essay that----

a)     My work has made me travel nearly twenty cities all over China and communicate or cooperate with different people of various backgrounds.

b)       My work has made me get to many different industries and bring me knowledge from lots of fields.

c)     Demonstrating that I am a well-around person, having lots of hobbies, easy-communicating with different people, participating extracurricular activities actively besides the heavy work-load.

you should deliver two messages:
1) you really understand how diversity can leverage your business team work;
2) yourself have the unique part to contribute the team.  

Additionally, if you happened to be the leader of that team, that's an extra point to show your leadership

it is not the same as "what can you bring to UMICH?" question. You need to rely on a personal experience to highlight the value of diversity. Don't waste time bragging your own diversity, spend more time delving into "What diversity really means and how it can bring value to the table?" You may talk about cross-cultural stuff, female and minority coworkers, people from different background etc. Choose the one that can differentiate yourself from others.

Don't write an ode to diversity. Many people spend half the essay writing about how much they value diversity, or about how important diversity is to enriching one's learning experience. Your readers know this, and you are wasting words by stating the obvious.

The other schools may ask about your experience in diverse situations. Again, this should not be an invitation to deliver a paean to diversity. If you're going to discuss the positive influence that diversity had on a situation, be sure to cite specific examples. Also, focus on your role even if the question just asks about your experience. You might emphasize such qualities as your ability to communicate, to cooperate, to bridge differences, and so on, but always with specific examples to back them up.

Your case is a little special. What you should think hard is not whether you can apply Michigan right now but whether it is right time for your bschool application currently.
