MSF求定位， 看各种大牛的背景觉得自己快要没书读了有木有

alexthered

    先上背景：楼主普通71党，GMAT 710，Toefl 104 (speaking 24), GPA3.058，班级排名8/47，本科学校某普通一本，专业是MKT，校学生会主席，大学前三年都在各种外联搞活动去了（当时没有想过出国），没有交换经历，没有牛推。实习只有三个渣渣一般的实习：一个国内TOP10基金渠道部实习，一个Citi 支行打杂实习，一个交行支行个人金融部实习，在准备14fall 的MSF申请...初定的选校有冲刺的UR，CWRU, OSU, Fordham 适中的有BRANDY和TULANE，保底有DREXEL和PACE。
    最近看CD上面的各种大牛的定位贴，G不是750就是760，至少也是730...绩点各种高啊....神马3.6都觉得自己低得不行，我们这种刚上线的情何以堪...顿时觉得自己快要没书读了有木有，求安慰，求定位...

这里是中介给的定位，我个人也觉得说BRANDY虽然USNEWS 排名跟罗村差不多，但是在金融的底蕴上还是差一点的，不过也不会是适中的水准，这个定位是有点问题

Hi my friend, and thanks so much for your question! First let me say that you actually have a great background. Your GMAT and TOEFL scores are solid, and your work experience is good, too. However, your GPA is less than competitive, so you might want to address that fact in your essays. Given that you’ve spent a lot of time doing Student Union activities and you’re also the president, you should have some great stories to talk about in your essays. Your school list is good, and I’d definitely recommend Fordham, Tulane, and Pace. These schools have excellent career servicesthat can help you find decent opportunities to stay in the States after you graduate. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for your reply. Your infomations are really helpful, and I am considering to apply for Tulane and Pace. However, I was wondering that have you ever heard about the msf program at USC? Here's the link: http://www.marshall.usc.edu/msf , but programs like this one usually make us chinese candidates confused. Of course, USC Marshall is a reputable business school, but I find out from the website that they are just start to recruit professors and lecturers, and there are hardly any hard minimums for applicants, so I was wondering whether this program worths for trying for a undergraduate student like me? And what's the risk behind all this? Thank you very much.

嗯嗯....我觉得你说的很对.....但是问题是在申请过程当中对学校和各种信息的不对称性太严重了，我们也很难知道一所学校究竟适不适合自己...
