STATS BELOW: HBS ENTERING CLASS THIS YEAR KIDS FROM MAINLAND CHINA.
IT CONFIRMS MY OWN SENSE OF THINGS, ESP. THE FACT THAT MAINLAND ADMITS ALMOST ALWAYS COME FROM BRAND NAME CONSUMER GOODS COMPANIES, OR TOP CONSULTING FIRMS--I AM NOT SURE ABOUT FURTHER REMARKS WHICH SUGGEST THAT BANKERS AND PE KIDS ARE LESS WELCOME, BUT IT IS POSSBILE THAT AT THE TIME PE AND IB'S DID NOT RECRUIT FROM TOP CHINESE COLLEGES. [AND MAYBE CONSULTING FIRMS DID???]
THIS NOTE FR. A FRIEND:
Very interesting to learn from one friend who get into HBS from Mainland China the following admission pool, see if this is helpful to you:
8 students from mainland China. 3 from P&G, 2 from L'oreal, 1 from LEK, 1 from Mckinsey. Most of them have 3 years working experience.
Also, many of my friends (top tier consulting + private equity) are waitlisted and dinged. |
