系统只说要 double space 没说字体和大小， Clark兄有什么建议？

大家是怎么做的？

Arial 12 is the most commonly used configuration for formal writing, which is what I chose last year. Good luck!

昨晚接受大家建议, 一晚上大刀阔斧的删啊删啊删啊.... 终于每篇都是400/500/600整了, 呵呵, 不多不少, 奇怪了, 原来舍不得的骨肉, 现在丢到垃圾桶里一点也不心疼了.

不知道其他学校的adcom会不会不忿, 凭什么我们也规定了500字,可就要多看50字? 哈哈, 没办法, 人性本来就是欺软怕硬嘛.

进了HBS学习不说废话可是个挑战啊~

终于完工了.

感谢大家的批评和建议.

有时候放弃比选择需要更多的勇气和智慧

Quite a few people who are in their 30s. However, the average age is going down in recent years. The key is to highlight your experience and explain how MBA and experience can benefit each other.

Hi Clark,

My working experience is less than 2 years and it was with a bank in China. However, I am trilingual person and familiar with Japanese culture and business manner. What do you think about my disadvantage of  w/e and advantage of language skills or international experience?

Happy new year and thanks for your attention

1. Goverment experience is definitelya attractive to HBS. I have quite a few classmates who had government working experience before, though not in China.

2. As for interview, I'd say don't try to guess what's the best answer coz there's no such answers. The three most important aspects, in my personal opinion, are knowing what you want, what your strength and weakness are, and how HBS can help you. Every question is just an extension of this three. 以不变应万变 would be my advice
