潛水很久了...... :grin:

我是Sandy的同學, 今年Cornell的另一個台灣人. male, NTU 2003年畢, 工作經驗5.5年, 最近3年在某本國金控做 M&A / corporate strategy (有些小案子我們會從頭到尾自己做, 不找buy side advisor). AT 750, Toefl 108, GPA低到我目前還沒有聽過拿到米國top 20的人有比我低的.... :grin:

Cornell 是個很溫馨而且很 collaborative 的環境. 簡單來說, We work hard and we work together. 尤其是在找工作上, 我感覺大家的心態多是如何幫助彼此改善自己的 qualification, 而不是要把自己的同學比下去. 唯一的缺點大概就是地理位置了, 冷而且離大城市太遠.

對 Cornell 有興趣的朋友歡迎跟我 (或是Sandy) 聯絡喔.......

剛剛有人丟站內訊息給小弟, 我才驚覺自己沒有附上email. 傷咖這邊現在真是有一搭沒一搭的在用了, 還好才是兩天前發的訊息, 沒有遲太久...... :x

這是我的email, vegas.tsai@gmail.com , 對Cornell有興趣的朋友歡迎與我聯絡喔

那位丟訊息的朋友問的是有關Cornell的essay question 3,
"You are the author for the book of Your Life Story. Please write the Table of Contents for the book. "
我想就把我的回應一併貼上來, 供大家參考吧

祝大家申請順利吧

For Johnson, we only have 3 essay questions or 1,200 words. That is to say, be careful to allocate these precious resources to showcase who you are to the adcom. Essay 1 is about your professional achievement, that is something you've done before in your career. Essay 2 is the traditional why MBA question. Since we specified "career do you plan to pursue", it is very likely to be another professional related essay. So, I would say, for essay 3, you should talk more about yourself as a person to balance the whole package up.

I would suggest a few guidelines for the essay 3.
1) Be sure to take something about your non-professional life
2) Touch your favorable personality/quality that has not yet been addressed in the first 2 essays.
(For example, if you mentioned team work and leadership in essay 1/2, it would be great if you put on some community service here)
3) Talk about not only your life in the pass but what kind of life you want in the future.

Besides, I have some reminders as well
1) This is just the table of content, not the content, so you are expected to be brief. Try to punctuate who you are directly and make youeself a completed and well-rounded person that the adcom is compelled to turn to the content of the book to learn more about you. (and, the only way to read the content of the book is to get you in, right?)
2) When you are writing this one, remember that this question itself is quite creative so you could be creative on your answer. However, dont go too far that you loose your point.

How I did this one last year is that I made it a five chapters book. Each of the chapter represents a big part of my life and persoanlity. I used 5 different songs as the title of the chapters, so that lyrics and melody of the song would deliver my idea beyond my words. First chapter is about my career aspiration (how I made money but also help shaping this world). Second is about my personal interests (showing that I am not a working machine). Third about my family (value and love, this one is emotional). Four is on my team spirit and team expereince (what kind of teammate I am). Then the last one is about me being a die hard Yankees fan (dont worry, you are in NY state, being a yankees fan is safer here than in new england).

Hope this would help.
