Topic: 请教：关于GPA和读MBA的关系 @枫下论坛 The Rolia Forum

申请MBA最重要的是工作经历、英语水平、申请时要求写的作文：essay。如果你没有好的工作经历，或者根本没有工作经历，那还是忘了mba吧。。。如果你真的要读MBA，GPA好像没人care。。。 -lhjln(很幸福); 2002-1-9 (#328313@0)

oh? thanks a lot! so I will focus on GMAT from now on! -who(Me); 2002-1-9 (#328332@0)

right. without GMAT>700, as a chinese, for good MBAs, basically.... = mei 2 xi 4 -lhjln(很幸福); 2002-1-9 (#328375@0)

UWO中国人多并不能说明GMAT不需要高分。反正我的同学可都是GMAT>700的。 -lhjln(很幸福); 2002-1-9 (#328528@0)
First of all, I have to say GMAT is important but not all. Some of my Chinese classmates only got 600+, but they are very excellent students. -diao_david(LoveBeer); 2002-1-9 {705} (#328563@0)
Actually, lhjln made a very good point. Holding a MBA degree does not mean anything except telling others you have had some learning experience. The most important things are what's your aim, what's your experience, what do you want to do after getting this diploma. Please think about your future, do some research of those business schools, then find the one most suitable to you.

If you want to get some advancement in Finance field, please be careful to Ivey. Even it's said the best business school in Canada, its strength is General Management. Two of my classmates ( and they are my teammates) quited from Ivey. Cause they found Ivey's courses can't help them to fulfill their dreams.

Agree to your point that IVEY is not strong on Finance (especially corporate finance) field. UT maybe a better choice for finance guys. -lhjln(很幸福); 2002-1-9 {131} (#328573@0)
GMAT is almost the only quatitative factor affecting MBA application (regardless TOEFL), so I insist that higher GMAT is essential.

Basically, you are right. It is one of the most important factors, but not the single most important one, at least at Ivey. -daqiao(Bill); 2002-1-9 {189} (#328604@0)
I knew some of the Ivey student who got admission from Ivey with a GMAT score of 640. But in this case, she had an excellent working experience in one of the famous international companies.

小心翼翼地问caolhz同志一句：您是不是真的受什么刺激了？快找暴力大熊猫倾诉一下吧。。。LP是可以打得吗？？？？？！！！！！！ -lhjln(很幸福); 2002-1-9 (#328520@0)

这年头一个比一个狠，昨天有人要CUT OFF LITTLE BROTHER，今天就有人要打老婆。 -hero(英雄无敌); 2002-1-9 (#328549@0)

From my experience, some Canadian MBA programs focus on your academic background while some others focus on your working experience. -daqiao(Bill); 2002-1-9 {508} (#328583@0)
If your GPA is as you mentioned, you can forget about McGill. Since that particular program is extremely focus on GPA. I had some personal contact with McGill in the Toronto MBA forum. They told me they require 85 points in a 100 points system and high GMAT score or good working experience can not be any compensation of this. Quite a stupid standard, isn't it? It seems to be Ivey and York put more focus on your overall qualification, especially your working experience.

Good luck in your MBA hunting.
到各个大学的网站查一下，都有关于成绩的具体的要求。 -amber(小猫咪Amber); 2002-1-9 (#328775@0)

GMAT不是唯一的标准,我知道有人考了770, Ivey和多大都没要.好的MBA都注重综合因素,GPA也是其中之一. -fuddle(fuddle); 2002-1-10 (#329042@0)

别大惊小怪的，每个人的目标和情况不一样嘛！UWO和UT还是我凑和的目标呢！ -eastyork(little sheep); 2002-1-10 (#329301@0)

York 也不错,这两年排名上得很快,但是不知为什么很多人都看不上.而且里面中国学生太多并不是什么好事. -fuddle(fuddle); 2002-1-10 (#329407@0)

The program office's intention was recruiting 90 students with Chinese background, but last year, only got 60+. As I know, there were more than 2,000 applicants having sent their applications to Ivey before Xmas. -diao_david(LoveBeer); 2002-1-10 (#329605@0)
