我这样能申请什么样的mba？

shiningstar

2006年本科毕业，Industrial engineering，THU, GPA比较差，Top 50%~30%之间吧。

3个月台资电子sales，一年半台资全球最大电子OEM公司（Fortune 500 154th）决策支援工程师，不过其实就是打杂的，帮领导写写报告，做做分析，没什么技术含量，什么乱七八糟的事情都做，比如公司绿化规划、食堂供应商管理与品质改善、员工上下班班车路线和时刻规划……鸡毛蒜皮一大堆。没什么竞争力吧。。。

6.7 iBT 112(30.29.24.29)，GMAT还未开始准备。5555555555.。。。看了看旁边人的GRE范文，好难。。。

推荐信方面，确定可以有尚德太阳能(NYSE:STP)创始人的推荐信，有比较小的可能拿到Texus A&M 工学院前院长的（就是我公司大部门的头儿，不过他手下一共有600多工程师）

铁了心要出去的。。。能申请到什么样的学校呢……担心ing

是应该直接在国内申请MBA呢，还是应该先申请理工科出去，到了US再申请MBA呢？

如果人在US，是不是会比在China申请要容易很多呢？

如果就在China申请，该申请什么样的学校成功率比较高呢？

菜鸟一只，比较弱智……乱七八糟的问题大家不要见怪^_^

One more thing that I forgot to mention is that a "personal" recommendation should only come from entrepreneurs, independent consultants or people that does not have a superior.  If you do have a boss and still uses a rec from someone outside of work does give out certain negative signals.

I got the idea that this guy from Suntech is some one who knows you well on a personal level( growing up in the same village etc).  But after doing so many campus visits (chicago, penn, cornell, cmu, and etc) the sense that I got from adcom is that the best recommendation letter is a letter writen by some one that can give you a fair assessment from a professional point of view which translates to a letter from your boss at work.  You might be able to use the Suntech letter as a second recommendation at best.  Why you should not use a letter from this Suntech guy?  My reason is that a letter from him does not give off credibility.  However I don't want to discourage you from using a letter from Suntech...am merely saying that it is not the best option.

I think I didn't make myself understood,hehe~

1) Fouder and CEO of Suntech-power knows me quite well. I was born in the same village with him. Also, we've kept in touch by email for years. I always talk with him and ask him for advice whenever I have difficulties about career plan or life plan. When I was a junior in THU, I once co-founded a company relating to solar power with my schoolmates, I wrote to him a lot, and he shared with me many ideas about entrepreneurium. So he may be someone who knows well how I grew up. He also invites me to join Sun-tech and promises a position any time I wish.

2) Someones in U.S. told me it is much easier to apply in U.S. than in China for Chinese students, but I doubt about that...

I don't intend to get engaged in a top program. My target is 30th~50th, e.g. Rice, u wis madison. Am I qualified for that?

Many thanks!

I think you have couple of misunderstandings about the mba application. 

1)  Recommendations should come from superiors that you have worked closely with for a period of time. Some one that can give a detailed assessment of your skillsets and potential.  Some one that knows you well (personally and professionally).   

2)  Your nationality determines your application pool not your physical location.   

I think your work experience is alittle short and light for a top program.  Also your gpa will have an adverse effect on your app because you only have two years of work experience.  

Be patient and get some solid experience then take the gmat.
