从0开始-亚欧美跨越记录篇

tveixpress

本帖是楼主的MBA申请和职业发展记录之用。欢迎围观和发言。

楼主工作十载有余，走大江南北，弄垮企业（私营应该算的吧）只手可数，西域打拼数年，孑然一身南下。现偏安于某极南寒苦之地，与一般志同道合之人从事非盈利之光荣目标(NGO)。

决定申请MBA挑战下自己。拜读了某美国人之大作，叹斯坦福之为天人，只有景仰之。 http://poetsandquants.com/2012/10/09/should-you-buy-an-mba-essay-from-this-internet-bazaar/4/

其意已决，申亚太欧美三大地区。有顺序条件云：
1.有奖学金者且排行前100者，虽远吾往矣；
2.本地学校，有部分奖学金，或学费可负担者，在职读之
3.驰骋因特网络就读之项目，或名声尚可，或可负担，或有奖学金（难矣），考虑之。

纵上三条，决定双管齐下。
1.择一online项目之模块，先试读一二，有兴趣则继续（5年内完成），所谓小成本运作者也。
2.尽快开始准备GMAT，以申请奖学金。本地名校优先。

（数载前欧罗巴北部有普惠之免费MBA，惜未赶上，现在开始收费了，价颇廉，或云1万或2万欧元）

当年多赖此一烤鸭成绩，前往某FT前半百之商学院，然所学非MBA. 实为一憾。

这次的最低目标：Graduate Cert! (无米之人的保底选择）

笑死我了。。看来我的最高目标就定Top 10吧

M7 is the collection of top B-schools whose deans meet every so often to discuss their curricula and the future of MBA education. The M7 schools are:

-HBS
-Wharton
-Columbia
-Kellogg
-Chicago
-Stanford
-MIT Sloan


To be blunt, people use these terms to associate their schools with better ranked schools.  How often do you hear HBS bragging about being in the M7? Or Yale reminding people it's in the Ivy League?

Here's a quick guide:

If someone describes their school as the top ranked school, they go to HBS or Stanford
If someone says they go to a "Top 3" school, they go to Wharton
If someone says they go to a "Top 5" school, its either Chicago, Kellogg, or MIT Sloan
If someone says they're in the "M7", they go to Columbia
If someone says "Top 10", they mean Tuck, Ross, Haas, or <insert whatever school you insist belongs in the top ten, thus proving my point>

I have yet to be impressed by a Wharton alum. HBS on the other hand..


impressive person from schools such as stern/haas/fuqua/yale/darden/cornell

I'm not a current student or alum of any program in the top 20, but for whatever its worth:

- You should apply to Yale if you find the program appealing. It takes 10 minutes to find an email address of a current student or to call up admissions to ask them to put you in touch with one. Another 10 mins to write an email asking for an appointment. 20 minutes to look up information about the program on the website. 20 minutes on the phone with a student or alum. This hour invested will give you real returns rather than a furball-hurling discussion on reputation vs ranking.

- I keep hearing a lot about Yale from the POV of nonprofit, but have heard they place students in finance and consulting too at the top firms. There may be other program strengths I'm not aware of, because I haven't looked into Yale's MBA in any detail.

- What matters most about an MBA (aside from the obvious goal of education and building relationships with classmates) is your first job out of the program. After that, employers will be most interested in knowing what you did at your last job and how it enables you to do best what they want done. Brand matters, but not nearly as much as your position out of the MBA and your networking skills after you graduate.

- Your school options narrow or expands depending on what you're wanting to do right after your MBA. Want to do operations or general management? Any school in the top 25 will equip you well. Want to be an entrepreneur? Any school in the top 25+location of the school matters. Want to get a job at MBB or PE? Go for the M7. I could go on and on, your school selection should really be dependent on what you want to do after the MBA and which companies recruit for which positions where. Fortunately, this information isn't hard to get. Every school has placement reports with a list of recruiters on their website. And any current student should be able to tell you which functions the companies recruit for.
