兄弟,我个人的经验,12月才开始准备R2,(early Jan deadline)很危险。除非你essay都想好了怎么写,which needs time to marinate...你reapplicant,影响肯定有。就是你死了不知道是怎么死的。你会怀疑究竟是申请晚了呢?还是essay没写好呢?还是你该降档申请呢?你无法确定,势必会影响你reapplication.
以我个人的经验,你全面准备后(essay, recommendation, school visit),申第一轮,冲击reach school, 完美准备target school, 才是你最佳的策略。
Hello there!
It's not really true that there is "poor chances" for Chinese applicants, although it is true that it is harder to apply as a Chinese than say a Dane or French applicant becuase of the sheer numbers. But you are off to a very good start. You have a FANTASTIC GMAT and two VERY very strong industries. If you have strong work experience and good grades from a good school, the Top programs will be open to you.
I would however suggest you start planning NOW to apply next year, and forget about applying in January. It's a bit late for you to be able to make many fantastic applications, and it is better to do it once and right, than twice and wrong!
