小弟基本背景如下:
刚满25
本科国内top10, GPA3.1
研究生美研top80,MSF,GPA3.8
T过期,G730+4.5
工作经验方面,
国内morgan stanley huaxin funds, quant engineer半年
波士顿吊丝hedge fund analyst实习半年

读的目的是想刷背景+转行（想做买方）
目前target school 是sloan和yale, stern和cbs就在旁边，实在不喜欢纽约。。。
希望大家给点意见，看看哪些学校比较FIT的？多谢多谢！！！

youayou

check employment report and you will see the placement to buy side. sloan and yale are not traditional buy side target (sloan is better tho).

try w/b/c

15，楼主下手真早，建议不要放弃stern和cbs啊，没事儿去听听课，套套词，混个脸熟多好，地缘优势啊。

哈哈, 有道理! 纽约除了跟自己的风格差异较大, 不大受得了, 其他的都不错~多谢哈!

很好奇楼主的academic background是如何有这么牛的工作经历的？ 难道是家族背景很牛掰？~~~

anyway 拉~ 感觉楼主的选校有点问题。。。你想做买方却择校yale and sloan...要是想去买方，还是cbs, stern, wharton, booth, kellogg, and Stanford吧~

哈哈，童鞋问得好啊！
我觉得我用以下几点解释一下吧：
1.绩点不高，学校一般，但是命好，并且把握住了机会；
2.个人属于运用型，学习上对刷分不偏执，加上本科玩了几年职业乐队，没有学习，但积累了体验了社会；另外，对于把握机会，做事比较踏实，而更重要的是责任心，于是在长达一年实习的卧薪尝胆后，才拿到street的offer，也算是天道酬勤；
3.家里背景不牛，但是父亲做资本运作也略有心得，在我对市场的理解上有莫大裨益；
谢谢您的建议~正是对自己学术背景的薄弱和所造成的瓶颈有着深刻的认识，于是才想读个MBA refresh一下。

Hey there,
Well first of all, if you don't like NY, maybe you should rethink your application options... you don't HAVE to go to NY. Schools in London is a nice alternative for example, maybe Singapore, or UNC (even though it is true that a lot of the finance jobs are in NY, so somehow it should make sense). You fantastic GMAT and what seems to be good experience, so I'd say top 30 are in range (although I guess top 10 will be a bit challenging). You just need to decide whether you want to apply to schools ina  place you don't want really to stay, or to think about other options.

Hope this helps!

Best,

Wow, I got to say your advice is priceless...
Appreciate!
Just follow up a bit.
Since you look a whatever HBS guy, wanna hear your voice about what is the most valuble quality to break in? Or, how you made it?
Besides, your "top 30" here is US ranking or global ranking?
Looking forward to your answer, and thank you again!
Best,
Bo
