LBS current student taking questions

[jerryyjsu]

之前常在傷心咖啡店潛水收獲不少, 今年剛到LBS念MBA,
希望也可以回答一些有興趣的朋友關於學校的問題.
LBS這兩年台灣學生似乎比較少, 希望多一點台灣學生來LBS提升台灣在歐洲的能見度!

Thank you !! Jerry,

I went to London and visited LBS yesterday. It is excellent school although it is not so big but I like the atmosphere.

I understand it is very difficult to get in for me. However I will try it in order to chase my dream. I bought some T-shirt,

mouse pad and magnet from LBS so as to encourage myself.

Thanks for you sharing.

您好:
我現在是台大政治國關大五的學生，輔修經濟系。目前正在準備GMAT，兩年前的托福(ibt115)已經過期應該會再去考雅思。我想要申請2013 Fall的master in management，雖然網站上說不看科系，但是想請問您不知道這到底會不會有影響啊? 另外雖然我參與或舉辦過一些國際活動或是社團活動，去年到歐洲交換學生一學年，但我並沒有任何的實習經驗，不知道這樣的條件到底有沒有希望申請到master in management呢? 最近在準備考試和看學校，又感覺自己要來不及了，真的很焦慮><

先謝謝您啦

First of all, I am not that familiar with the MiM program.

From my personal point of view, I would suggest you to work first before you pursue a master degree. MiM is mainly for people without work experience or 1 year experience - meaning you can only pursue analyst level jobs after your graduate.

If you have a good CV and outstanding academic record, you can apply for these analyst jobs (in Asia) now. You don't need to
spend the money and time for this degree to achieve the same result. After all, the tuition + the cost of living in London is not a small amount of money.

jerry您好：
我想請教一下，我是大學是念東吳法律，GPA不高（3.29），目前從事法律實務工作（proscutor）約6年，IELTS GMAT還沒考，您覺得我申請有機會嗎？會不會因為大學成績不高，所以我根本不需考慮申請？麻煩您了～～

I could answer a bit for Jerry first here.

MBA program focuses more on practical working experience, rather than the college GPA. Therefore, the importance of GPA decreases when an applicant has longer w/e. So, I will suggest you to take the exams, and focus on your overall package - including essays and interview - these will really shine you out among the application pool.

Hope this helps, and let us know if you have any further question.
