GMAT 710 申请TOP 20 有希望吗？2015年入学，求定位！！！

Are you kidding me? Re-take GMAT exam? Don't waste your time, focus on your essay, make a good story. You should be qualified to apply any school, not just CBS or Ross.

这个问题就是，你究竟是“我一天工作也不想干了，就要去MBA啦”还是“努努力我其实还是想去M7的” ...

我应该是“一天都不想做了，很想回学校了”。 我也不小了，人生还有很多其他的事情等着我去完成。。 哈哈 ！ 不知道你明白我在说什么不。。。

G要刷
因为本科非名校，难以证明Academic Capacity
然后要看why healthcare?
why marketing? why strategy?
why marketing in NYU
目前这些goal跟学校完全不make sense

现在十万火急
不把问题搞清楚，R1也只是炮灰
更甭提还要刷G

Hello there good sir,
So first of all your profile is quite interesting. Your GMAT is excellent even if it's not busting the ceiling! But it should be good enough for you to get into a Top 20 school. I think your China/US/Japan experience is pretty unique, and I think you can play that up when you apply and it will help you out. Your industry and then your investment manager work seems pretty excellent too.

Your school list is pretty good too. It's maybe a liiiittlle bit on the hard side. You might want to add one more school that is not that tough to your list (but still excellent). For example a school like Johnson.

I would say that since your most recent work is in investment that might make more sense. But since you also have marketing, to be honest you could make a case for that as well.

It's something we'd have to discuss more in detail once I know a bit more about your work experience.

All the best,
Jon

Hi Jon:

Thanks for your candid response- much appreciated. I actually have sent you my resume, some of my essays to your hbs.edu email and your colleauge Claudia Aliperta has already reached out to me. I know that CBS and NYU might be a strech for me so I also have U of Michigan and Johnson listed as well. I do want to go back to NYC (for many reasons) but I also understand that CBS and NYU are the tougher schools to get in.

I am glad that you noticed my delimma here - investment or marketing strategy? This question has been borhtering me for a while and I still couldn't make up my mind. I understand that it is more of a question for myself to answer. I enjoy analyzng the industry landscape, talking to people, learning different companies or projects and valuate them, but I don't neccesarily enjoy trading, building models, calculating or anything too technical. Based on all these information, what story do you think fits me more?

we can take this conversation offline. As I mentioned, I have alraedy contacted you and my email is jeanxiong(AT) QQ.C0M - you can find my resume there.

Thanks and look forward to hearing back from you,
Jean

谢谢你的建议！
我G不会刷了，哪怕代表我只能近差一点的学校。我已经2年没有碰过GMAT 了， 再考又要全部重新开始。
关于why healthcare? 是因为我现在就是在做这个方面的工作，觉得很有意思，也很有潜力。
其实我没有确定要做marketing, 也有可能做investmet .... 学校的选择很大方面是因为我想回纽约。

可能我会争取R1 如果不行 我做R2也是可以的。主要觉得R1 比较容易代表我的strong interests.

你有什么别的好的学校推荐吗？

我觉得绝对不要再刷。。。没有任何意义。。。

你在海外那么久了，应该明白老美的逻辑。。

高那么一点点真的没有任何意义。

不需要刷 如果实在很有空可以刷刷
