Carlson Student taking question

mickyma

前两天考完ＧＭＡＴ Ｖ　３２，　Ｍ５１　Ｔotal: 690, 考了个鸡肋分数６９０，申请CHARLSON要重考吗？
因为准备了4个月,感觉很有信心上700,但是考试没有发挥好,感到非常郁闷.
我的GPA非常低,只有2.5不到点: (
两年多工作经验:
在3大咨询公司之一做了一年多Business assistant.
然后在一家LOCAL的品牌咨询公司做品牌管理咨询工作,负责的客户是某一国际奢侈品品牌.
现在是F2身份来美陪读,目标是申请20左右的B-school,比如KELLY, CHARLSON.
我的目标不算高,但是因为自己的GPA拖后腿,所以想考GMAT来拉,可是这么个鸡肋分数,没有任何优势了.想再考一次,但是还没考TOEFL, ESSAY什么的也还没有什么头绪,本来想一次搞定GMAT以后,集中精力准备好后面的工作,申请EARLY的一轮.
现在我很忧郁要不要重新再考一次GMAT? 如果再考一次,怕敢不上第一轮的.好苦恼: (
以前曾经看到有人说,申请的学校如果觉得你的GMAT分数不够有竞争力会鼓励你再考一次. 是不是可以等资料交上去,看学校有没有这个要求?
请在CARLSON的XDJM分析一下呢?

I know one guy got into Carlson with GMAT 630 in 2003. What he did was to visit campus and show his enthusiasm to adcoms. So, if you're in the U.S now, you should take that advantage for sure..

really, It's a good news.

But the ranking of Carlson in 2003 is much lower than it is now. Do you know how about the admission criteria in 2004

Anyway, I live near Minniapolis, I plan to go to Carlson for the campus visit. How can I prepare for the visit. Is that similar with the interview?

Hi, mickyma

It is not so difficult for you to apply Carlson. I am now in Carlson, class of 2006, if you have any question, contact me. If I cannot explain it, I can ask some other Chinese students in Carlson. my personal email address is tonyuibe(A) hotmail.com

这个学校是21位的，好象也不错。我也打算申请，正看材料呢。一起交流吧。也请上面这位兄弟给分析分析，我这种情况有没有戏。

我的背景是在华为公司干了三年开发，其中一年在华为印度研究所。考了几个月试，才680。小公司干了2个月。现在去UT斯达康做质量和流程管理。不知道Carlson对做技术和质量管理的人有没有兴趣，只怕我是眼高手低，能力有限。抱着鬼佬偶尔看走眼的想法，我决定试试。大不了给鬼子送点钱算了。

carlson is good for its marketing program. 3 years of working experience is ok. I also had only 3 years when I applied for Carlson last year. But when I am here, I find most of my classmates have more experience. 680 is ok for application. Your background of quality management is quite special and helpful to your application.

可是我看Carlson的Essay对字数要求好严格啊. 三篇文章加起来才1200字.这能体现一个人的基本素质吗?

tonyuibe

所以才考验你能不能sell yourself. 想想看，那些人每天都看这些东西，长篇大论不见得真得有作用，所以精炼是很重要的。

我已经预约了18号去CARLSON CAMPUS VISIT,包括Admission Interview，这几天正在积极准备中。

我对Brand Enterprise Program很感兴趣。这是我选择CARLSON的理由之一。TONY能介绍一下Enterprise Program吗？

as the first year student I don't have chances to join enterprise program till now. If you are interested in it, you can consult Jack Guo, the second year student.
