[錄取分享]2008申請結果

文章stacy127 » 2008-04-09 14:50

從補習、考試、到申請,花了整整一年,終於結束了。中間過程我想經歷過的人都懂,考試的壓力、寫essay的痛苦還有選校的兩難,對我來說,是繼聯考後這輩子最難熬的日子。真的要感謝過程中幫助過我的所有人,也因此認識了不少朋友,希望大家到美國唸書之後還能繼續交流並分享求學的經驗,幫助更多想申請學校的大家。

比起許多牛人們,我的背景很普通,因為不想被代辦賺這筆錢,所以一切都自己弄。在這裡分享申請結果,希望給即將申請學校的朋友們信心,我了解這過程中會得到很多建議和意見,只有相信自己才能堅定的走下去。

Background
BS: Mass Communication and Journalism & International trade and Finance, Fu Jen Catholic University
GMAT: 680
IBT: 105
W/E: 3 years

Admission: BU IMP, U of Minnesota, Ohio State University ($5,000/year scholarship), U of Rochester ($7,500/year scholarship)
Waiting list: UIUC, Notre Dame
Rejection: NYU, Washington University (St.Luis), Penn State University (Smeal)

GMAT: 準備心得之前已經分享過,就不再重複。

ESSAY: 我也是從商咖上得到很多前輩們的建議,大家可以多搜尋以前的文章。我相信一年有這麼多優秀的申請人,要怎麼讓自己成為獨特的申請者很重要。有很多收錄名校的ESSAY的書可以參考,不過那些都是別人的故事,還是要找出自己獨特的故事。修改ESSAY方面,我很推薦CHINA POST的編輯,費用便宜又改的很好,把我的故事改的很有吸引力,用詞也很精闢。

選校: 花了很多時間才決定學校名單(比寫ESSAY的時間還久),因為我本身耳根子軟,今天這個人說這學校好,明天那個人說那個學校更好,我的FINAL LIST每天都改來改去,就這樣搖擺不定浪費了好多時間。我選校其實都是看感覺和心情(不可取,不要學),像是申請NOTRE DAME是為了賭一口氣,之前有位前輩說我的AT不夠高申請NOTRE DAME一定不會上,至少要690,我心想我偏要申請然後證明他是錯的。建議大家選校還是謹慎一點,想好自己的方向,多參考學校網站,問問當地學生,才不會浪費無謂的時間和精力。

最近會確定最後去的學校,我相信只要自己努力,唸哪一間都一樣,出了學校就要看自己造化了。

最後,我相信有些專業的問題板上很多厲害的前輩都可以請教,一些申請的細節可以問我,我會盡量幫忙,回饋給板上的朋友們。大家加油!

Congratulations. I have to say after your graduation, you are not in the control of your own destiny now. First, the US economy is down and it is extremely hard to find jobs in many industries, especially in IB. Second, even if you are thankful to find a job, it is uncertain whether you would be able to work for your job in the US. Recent regulation just changed F-1 students' OPT time (the time you could work in the US after graduation) from 12 months to 29 months. Unfortunately, this new change does not apply to MBA students. Furthermore, the current supply of work VISA, aka H1b, does not meet the current demand. They implemented a lottery system to determine your fate whether you could work in the US after your graduation. It is said that the chance of getting the work VISA this year is between 30~40%.

Hence, I understand I will work hard in school and try hard to find a job. However, it is now totally not up to you to determine whether your outcome after graduation. Your future is in a hand of a lottery game.
