Columbia MBA我的条件有戏吗？

longxiaomeim

国内小本（重点），工作3年，国有四大商业银行总行。

GPA: 3.6，GMAT: 760，TOEFL: 110。

工作属于routine的那种，没有管理的title，感觉商学院所要求的leadership，很难在自己身上体现出来，也不知道该怎么去挖掘。

大学期间，是系里的学生会主席，组织过一系列的活动，但也都是regular的。

请问版上的牛牛，我这样的条件申请columbia有戏吗？不行的话，NYU Stern怎么样？谢谢先。

第一次来到这里，先顶一下楼上的牛MM，呵呵。

Columbia也是我的target school之一，但是我的background相比之下，就差了很多。

Your profile is really good!

According to my knowledge, you are among the pool that Columbia likes very much, since you are a girl, work in finance, have good scores, and eaqually important, you're very very young.

Focus on your essays. Good luck!

很有戏，当然LZ在international exposure方面似乎是个缺陷。

但谁又能做到十全十美呢？那样的话，还申请MBA做甚？

Thanks for all your encouragements! I got power from all of you...

However, I still don't know how to demonstrate my leadership cause I have no leadership title or position or even experience[em06] .

leadership:

leadership that may be expressed in many forms, from college extracurricular activities to academic or business achievements, from personal accomplishments to community commitments.

Business schools appreciate leadership on any scale as well, from organizing a classroom to directing a combat squad, from running an independent business to spearheading initiatives at work.

In essence,business schools are looking for evidence of your potential — a portfolio of experiences, initiatives, and accomplishments that reflect a habit of leadership.

你的硬件条件非常不错！好好加油！

leadership：大学期间，是系里的学生会主席，组织过一系列的活动-------这也是很好的例子。

主要在于，如何挖掘你的story！学会从另外一个角度来看。

希望我的建议对你有帮助：）
