求MBA申请定位

104的分数，我知道是不会给我的Profil加分的，但是在很多学校看来，比如说Wharton, Stanford,…会不会减我profi第一l印象分 ?

你的其他东西作在整体pacakge里比托福重要的多。
你如果有空当然可以再考一次，但你要考虑这个时间的trade off：你现在花时间考试VS花时间想Essay赶R1，哪个效果更好？

恩，
我打算两手抓了， 我发现Essay很费时间的，不能等到9月份才开始准备，搞几篇高质量的essay出来，不是一两天就能搞定的。
我另外8月底再考一次T。如果能提高一点也好，否则就用104申请了。。。

如果是我definitely选round1,宁可多点时间把essay polish下，interview 多mock下

支持下校友。

真心觉得对你来说托福没有大的影响。本身就是国际背景，然后英文水平如何一面试就知道了。对你来说写出惊天地泣鬼神的essay更重要。

好运！

本科SJTU，
GPA3.5+, 本科年级排名4。
GMAT 740, T 104

Graduated in France (Engineer Degree Grande école,相当于 Engineering Master Degree),
7 years WE in France,
Current Position: International Supply Chain Manager
Foreign Language Ability: French/English.

请问各位前辈，申请Worldwide Top10 Business Schools 有戏吗？ 我感觉自己的托福成绩差了一点(正在犹豫要不要再考).
有没有其他比较贴切申请定位建议？

Hey there my friend very nice profile indeed! If you are already fluent in French and English and have a lot of work experience abroad, even with a 104 TOEFL you can get into great schools. You are right that for really top programs like HBS, Wharton, Stanford, the TOEFL score is a bit low, and I would definitely suggest retaking. But still, I would prioritize your application at this point. Also, I don’t know what programs you are looking into, but since you have all this great international experience, and speak French, European MBAs might also be right up your alley (IMD, INSEAD, LBS, IE, IESE, HEC, etc.)

谢谢Jon Frank, I really appreciate your reply.
In fact, I am managing a multicultural team (French, Turkish, Chinese and Tunisian), I'd like to work in industrial field after graduation. My first choice is European MBA programs (General management Orientation) in LBS, INSEAD and IMD; Of course, I want to try the best US schools, such as Wharton and Standford, to avoid any regret in my application.

LBS is locaed in an English speaking country, which, I think, might bring more added value to my Sino-franco profile.
IMD is very strong in general management, and has a social network of elite in industry. It seems that is suits very well my professional development intention.
INSEAD has a prestigious reputation, and it is very convenient for me to study there (just 60km from home).

According to your opinions, how could I prioritize these 3 schools?  
(FYI, I am currently working intensively on TEOFL, hoping can get a 105+.)

No problem man ! It's so  cool that you have real intercultural leadership. This is something that will look super-good on all applications, and ESPECIALLY for those European schools. I think that your choice of basically the 3 best programs in Europe is the right one given the strength of your profile and your international leadership. They are all very, very strong, and I think, like you suggested, that with a mix of the Top US schools which appeal to you, you should have great chances at these amazing programs.

What do you mean exactly by “how could I prioritize?” Do you mean how you can strengthen your strategy for these schools? I think you can do so, first and foremost by leaning heavily on your truly international background and your very international experience. It really sounds great. Plus, the great big Dragon is all the rage these days, and people such as yourself who can bridge two, three cultures are highly sought after.
