Campus Visit 能提高录取率的最大的价值是？ How do I prepare for Campus visit?

Hey Emilie!
Good to hear from you. First a few notes about healthcare programs in top schools: Wharton, Fuqua and Kellogg all have veeeeery strong MBA programs which incorporate a health care emphasis. Wharton has a Health Care Management major, with faculty from the Business, Medical and Nursing schools of the University of Pennsylvania. Kellogg has the Health Industry Management (HIM), really one of the top in the US. Fuqua had a great med school and is near Research Triangle Park, a heaven for healthcare job seekers. You also have Sloan, (Biomedical Enterprise Program) Haas (Healthcare certificate) and Columbia. If this is relevant you can also look into double degree programs that incorporate a Healthcare program with an MBA for example an MBA-MHA, or a MBA-MPH.


But I think you should also add a few slightly lower ranked schools to make sure you have a good balanced schools list. Ross can be a good option for you, so its great that you chose it, but you may want to find one more (like ranked 15-30, but strong in healthcare).

But otherwise things look good! You chances will swing a bit depending on how strong your work experience is, but that amazing GMAT should help you out a lot too!!!!

Best,

楼主，我就是ms. melville面的。 她不会看package的，她主业是financial aid.
campus visit当然有用，只是不清楚你兴冲冲的去campus visit，你的career goal究竟是干嘛。为什么要mba。
就算你真惹怒她了，你也没留下名字吧。

嗯，谢谢Joyce！ 后来听取了各方建议，认真考虑了时间安排等，没有去campus visit。您说的Career Goal我这段时间也没日没夜地反复挖掘思考了。long term goal是entrepreneurship + NGO，目前主要定在healthcare领域 。 一方面在JNJ医疗做了5年，有自己的相关Start-Up，一方面这么多年一直在做相关领域的NGO工作，也希望自己未来不仅能经营好公司，也能在企业社会责任这块做得出彩，创造有爱的品牌和文化，也为中国关系不健康不正常的医患关系增添一点正能量等。 对YALE特别向往，因小时候看书结缘。历史和人文底蕴厚重的学校很吸引我。     

关于info时的事儿嘛。。。哎我就是个笑话！！太喜欢Yale所以脑子搭住了。 如同越是在意一个人就越不自信/自然。那天表现太嫩了，刚工作时的水准。。 =___=b  已经不在意了，虽然时不时想起Rebekah女士，感觉很亲切。。努力把package做好就是。 谢谢亲爱的关心啊！

Hi Jon, thanks a lot! My long-term goal is entrepreneurship in healthcare industry.  So I suppose a school based in a big city focus on healthcare and/or entrepreneurship can be a better target right? In this case, duke might not be that good...any suggestion? I really appreciate your comments.

Yale的人文主义和重视community的传统会让你发自内心地喜欢这里。对我而言，那不是学校的牌子或者prestige ...

目前在为申请2015年的MBA做准备，还处在研究学校阶段，看了您描述的yale，真的是非常令人向往，也似乎能感受到那种人文主义情怀，决定将yale列入重点调研对象。

我去过Campus Visit，我觉得campus visit最有用的一点是帮助你了解这个学校，visit本身当然不会给你的appli ...

echo这说法。去Campus visit一方面也是看对这个学校的感应强不强。本來有一间常春藤校我很喜欢，等到真的去visit了，真心觉得不合，也说不出个理由。不过我的确就再也不考虑那间了。

Hello there Emilie,
You are welcome! I'm always happy to help.

To answer your question, a big city is not necessarily a big advantage. Healthcare is an industry which is spread out in many places, and more important than big city location is proximity to healthcare firms, and recruitment from healthcare firms. And Duke definitely fits the bill!

Best,
