[分享] One easier way to study at US top 15 MBAs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wsh]

You can do it through the exchange program at IESE!

About 65 people out of 210 (MBA2007) did exchange programs, so I think it is not too difficult with nearly 1/3 of the class going...(merits of a small MBA, less competition in jobs and things like this)

So
1) IESE is relatively easier (for Taiwanese) to get in compare to US top 15 MBAs
(refer to http://www.formosamba.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=23781)

2) IESE offers excellent career opportunities to Taiwanese
(refer to http://www.formosamba.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=23781)

3) You can still get to study in US top MBAs (see below)!

I. Wharton(1)/Kellogg(6)/Columbia(6)/MIT(2)/Chicago(4)
II. Berkeley(4), Duke(5), Cornell(4), UCLA, Tuck(5), Michigan(4), NYU(5), Virginia(4)

Number in brackets are the spaces available for IESE students this year. 55 spaces for 216 students.

Of course the reverse is also true, for example I am sharing my flat with an exchange girl from Columbia atm.

Attached is the full list of exchange MBA programs, you can also confirm from web site.

Dear wsh:

You are really aggressive(in a positive way) in promoting your school and believe this is a good thing since it can broden the horizon of Taiwanese students in getting into connected with or getting to know more about EUR B-schools.

那我也promote一下香港中大吧

我們的交換partner :

Chicago每年三個
NYU每年兩個
Duke一個到兩個
UCLA兩個
UNC兩個
Austin三個
LBS兩個

科大人數多些所以交換學校也多些 他們多kellogg columbia darden berkeley 但是沒UCLA

但是....因為他們收生人數也多 so....搶好學校常常會搶不太到這是真的

Wsh,
恭喜你拿到了這麼好的offer,能分享一下為什麼當初你不選美國而跑去西班牙 ?

以你之前post的硬條件,也許上US TOP20都行,
大多人在台灣都沒聽過IESE,如果可以畢業順利找到好工作當然很好
可萬一在國外找不到必須回台,搞不好會被以為是野雞大學
這樣似乎挺冒險的~

Sorry I missed your question.
Well, 3 reasons I can come up with are

1) I am a believer of "living for the moment", which is a strong characteristic of the Spanish/latin American culture

2) I have a good Spanish friend in my university days who told me IESE is one of the best biz schs in the world

3) If anything, my personal character. I have a friend who described me like this:

我的世界是自由自在的
父母教育我的方式是開明的　　
沒有嚴厲的規定　　沒有唯命是從的條約
沒有強權的要求　　更沒有不可侵犯的威勢
他們給我完全的自主性　　給我充分的選擇權
就是因為如此
我熱情好動　　我習慣隨性的過生活
我願意積極的適應環境　　學著獨立
我願意積極的參與環境　　讓環境學著接受我
我是主動的爭取一切

And thus you are right, I am a risk-taker!
I hope this answers your question
