没想到没奖金没贷款的学校也这么多人申请呢。。
当然不排除，他真是一个非常非常棒的项目

同握手！！
我也联系了UT校友，没理睬我
等我面试的 时候，面官问我那种互动。。我。。如实回答了，超级尴尬。。。

你在美国，当然最好的方式就是Campus visit。

我除了webinar和online info session 之外， 也试图联系过校友（有个私人关系，但是很久之前毕业的），但是人家还没理我。

恩，我说的是CMU。 McCombs的面试官本身我就是通过private network reach到的。 所以不存在这个问题。但是McCombs是海面，面试只占1/4吧。 料想面试之后被拒的比例还是很高的。 我只能prepare for the worst

提一个很tactical的思路，其实LZ的why mba有个比较顺理成章的版本，就是目前作为小公司的GM碰到了发展上的瓶颈具体有哪些，然后想通过mba的学习能有一个具体的方法论和知识储备，回到之前的公司里帮助企业更好的发展

当然，这只有利于帮LZ编个听起来make sense的故事卖给adcom而已，别无他用。。。

看LZ纠结的，不忍心也来插上一句

与其纠结于用各种position&title来描述你的career goal，不如down to the ground说说具体想要achieve什么，类似企业宣扬vision的那种表达方法，而不是扔position&title出来

然后针对你目前的个人情况和你想要实现的职业目标，中间是不是有个gap，这个gap具体是什么？一二三点列出来。你已经提到有hard skills了，怎么发现这个gap的可以讲个故事吧，然后这个gap的缩小和消灭能如何帮助你实现目标也可以聊聊吧

针对这个gap，CMU能提供什么，一二三点写出来，be specific

Hey there! And thanks for dropping us a line here.
Sorry to hear that you haven't been as successful as you had hoped in your applications. Before I start answering your comments about Tepper though, let me say that since you have applied to many other schools without success, before you go ahead and apply anywhere, you might be better off, stopping and thinking about your strategy and your applications, so see if there is something you can change for the better. There's no point in continuing ahead with a strategy that has not thus far been successful! So I would do that first.

Next, Tepper does seem to be a good choice for you given your criteria. I don't think that  you should be having any difficulties because of lack of "pre-MBA" stuff, although you might want to complement your finance/math knowledge before you attend.

I think, though, like I wrote above, that your first step should be to maybe have someone look at your  unsuccessful applications, and figure out what went wrong, and THEN apply to other alternatives.
