1、转转一个拿到纽约大学一个拿到纽约大学 Stern 商学院的朋友写给我的一封商学院的朋友写给我的一封 email，谈到了关于申请商学院的建议和经验，谈到了关于申请商学院的建议和经验 来源： 丁嘉迪的日志 email 比较长，讲的也非常全面，看完以后对我的帮助也很大。尤其是 essay 和 ps 方面。很多中国学生觉得这两个不是很重要，随便写写或者套中介的模板就行。我的看法是千万千万千万不要这么做，录取委员会的教授们每天阅申请无数，一个平凡的 ps 和雷同的模板式 eassy 他们一眼就能看出来，中国学生的 gpa 和 tofel gre gmat 成绩一般都不差，要想让自己 stand out，
2、核心竞争力我认为就在履历，ps 和 essay 上。 下附翻译内容，我翻译的很粗糙，尽量看原文吧。Hi Cassandra!Ive gone and written you a long, long email. It has helped me to clarify some of my ideas about business school, and I thought it might be interesting to send to some of my friends in the future if they ever consider business school. I ha
3、vent discussed EMT at Stern specifically, because although that is my planned major, I wont start until September so I cant tell you much yet. I did, however, just finish the whole application process, so I am very familiar with that and have described my experience in detail below. So apologies abo
4、ut the length and lack of specifics on Stern, but I hope this is helpful.The preamble:Youve got a long, long time to prepare, so my first piece of advice would be not to think too far ahead. I know you probably hear this all the time, but the most important thing for your application is that you fol
5、low your interests, study what youre interested in, and do what you do best and do it well. It also means making sure that you are well-rounded, that you take time to pursue hobbies and activities outside of class, and that you remember to push your boundaries and do some activities that will make y
6、ou grow as a person.One of the big differences between Business School and other graduate schools is that they arent necessarily looking only at academic achievement. B-Schools want to pick a class of well-rounded, experienced people from diverse and interesting backgrounds. This makes for a much mo
7、re equitable (or sometimes much more “random“) selection process. Unlike Law School, where a certain GPA and LSAT score can almost guarantee admittance, with B-School, you often find people with lower grades or lower scores but really strong experience are admitted to top programs. It can be very di
8、fficult to predict or control where you stand in the admissions process.With that general material out of the way:Business School applications are all about “telling your story.“ The schools want to see that you have a clear, organized plan for your life, and that you have a very specific idea about
9、 how business school fits into this plan and why. Of course, very very few people are lucky enough in their early or mid-twenties to have anything remotely resembling an organized life plan. Therefore, business schools become all about the “story:“ how do you shape, twist, make up, and imagine your
10、experiences and desires into a coherent argument to present to B-Schools.Some small basic things can help. Make sure you have enough Math, Economics or Statistics courses on your transcript to demonstrate that you are good with numbers and wont struggle with the academic side of B-school. The level
11、of Math in business school is pretty basic, so even just taking one or two classes in these areas would probably be enough to show you have the required skills. If you are planning to major in Economics or Science, dont worry about this. But if you are a humanities student, consider taking a Micro E
12、conomics class or something similar. This will also demonstrate that you had an early interest in the Business field.Following on that, you should try to demonstrate an interest in economics or business, or in how they relate to your chosen field of interest. If you are interested in Media and Enter
13、tainment, sit down and try to work out how going to business school would help you advance in that field. Its important to remember that B-Schools see themselves as a means to an end, not an end in themselves. They want students who are ambitious and plan to use business school to get them ahead in
14、their chosen fields. They DO NOT want students who are applying to business school because they want the credential on their record, or because they dont know what they want to do and need more time to figure it out. That being said, B-School is full of those kind of people (who have no idea what th
15、ey want to do yet), but all of them managed to tell a compelling story on their applications about how business school was the right place for them and how it would help them in their careers.Try to display initiative and become a leader in an area that interests you. Try to become the head of a clu
16、b, the captain of a sports team, the editor of a magazine, or the director of a movie. B-schools will look for that kind of engagement and “management“ experience. They want to know that you are good at interacting with people, that you have some “leadership“ skills, and that you are invested enough in what you do to want to take ownership of it.Now, about work experience. It used to be the case that very few students came straight from undergrad programs into B
