重新申請(qǐng)美國(guó)大學(xué)商學(xué)院的注意事項(xiàng)
本文為大家介紹了一些重新申請(qǐng)商學(xué)院的注意事項(xiàng)，其中一些建議對(duì)初次申請(qǐng)商學(xué)院的人也很有用哦，一起來(lái)看看吧!
Many business schools, even the most elite and well-ranked ones, welcome re-applicants. Reapplying to school shows you are very serious about your interest in the business school program. The best way to approach the reapplication process when you’re targeting the same schools is to highlight how you have improved your candidacy. Take a closer look at the following aspects of the MBA application package to determine where you should focus your energies to improve your odds next time around.
很多大學(xué)的商學(xué)院，甚至是那些最頂級(jí)的大學(xué)都很樂(lè)意接受學(xué)生的再次申請(qǐng)。學(xué)生在再次申請(qǐng)某所學(xué)校時(shí)最好的方式是強(qiáng)調(diào)自己已經(jīng)通過(guò)努力提升了候選資格。仔細(xì)閱讀下面有關(guān)工商管理學(xué)碩士申請(qǐng)方面的建議，注意對(duì)你而言應(yīng)該把精力放在哪些方面，以便提高自己下次被錄取的幾率。
Decide How Many and Which Programs to Target ?
Do: Apply to at least four schools to maximize your chances of success. These programs should represent varying levels of competitiveness. Include your dream school in the mix. It may be a real reach, but go for it anyway and you’ll have no regrets later.
Don’t: Apply to too many schools – usually six or more – believing that hedging your bets in this way will guarantee admission somewhere. While that strategy sounds logical, in reality your efforts will become so diluted with each successive application that there just won’t be enough passion there to sway the admissions committee.
決定好目標(biāo)的數(shù)量和類(lèi)型
你應(yīng)該：盡可能提高自己被錄取的幾率，所以要至少申請(qǐng)4所學(xué)校。而且這4種申請(qǐng)項(xiàng)目應(yīng)該代表不同的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)水平。要把夢(mèng)想中的學(xué)校包括在這4所學(xué)校里。也許會(huì)有點(diǎn)難，但你始終要追求它，這樣才沒(méi)有遺憾。
你不能：申請(qǐng)?zhí)嗟膶W(xué)校，同時(shí)申請(qǐng)6個(gè)或6個(gè)以上的大學(xué)就太多了。雖然這看起來(lái)可以增加你被大學(xué)錄取的幾率，但實(shí)際上這樣會(huì)使你的努力看起來(lái)沒(méi)有激情或者誠(chéng)意，所以反而不容易打動(dòng)那些大學(xué)的招生委員會(huì)。
Tweak Letters of Recommendation
Unsuccessful applicants sometimes don’t realize that they were rejected ?because their letters of recommendation came across as weak endorsements at best.
Do: Make sure whomever you ask is willing to write a very compelling recommendation for you. Since it’s not a given that you’ll see the letter once it’s written, it’s perfectly OK to come right out and explicitly ask for what you need. Remind your recommenders to address specific examples of your accomplishments and leadership abilities, and to discuss your work ethic or team-building skills. Writing a strong endorsement requires some effort, so make it easy for your recommender by providing a list of the accomplishments you want to highlight.
Don’t: Choose a recommender for superficial reasons. I’ve seen too many applicants dinged for committing this mistake. Asking the president of a company, an alum of your dream school or any other bigwig won’t do you any good if they cannot speak intimately and enthusiastically about your many virtues
修改推薦信
某些申請(qǐng)者在失敗之后都不知道原因，其實(shí)有時(shí)是因?yàn)橥扑]信效果太差了。
你應(yīng)該：確保給你寫(xiě)推薦信的人會(huì)為你寫(xiě)一封非常強(qiáng)有力的推薦信。即使你不能馬上看到信的內(nèi)容，你也要能相信那封信的內(nèi)容正是你所想要的。提醒你的推薦者在信中提出一些具體的例子來(lái)表現(xiàn)你的才能和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力。寫(xiě)一封效果很好的推薦信并不容易，所以你可以自己列出一些想要強(qiáng)調(diào)的優(yōu)點(diǎn)以供推薦者參考。
你不能：出于一些膚淺的理由來(lái)選擇推薦者，比如讓某個(gè)公司的董事長(zhǎng)或你夢(mèng)想中的那個(gè)大學(xué)的某個(gè)校友或者其他影響力較大的人物來(lái)給你寫(xiě)推薦信，如果他們不能就你的優(yōu)點(diǎn)進(jìn)行很好的闡釋?zhuān)敲磳?duì)你其實(shí)一點(diǎn)用都沒(méi)有。
Rock Those Essays?
Sometimes applicants get hung up on writing the perfect essay, when in reality they should focus onwriting a compelling essay instead. MBA blogger Scott Duncan applied to five schools last year and was rejected by all of them. This year, he wrote, he let go of perfectionism and changed his strategy to deliver a simple, clear message and add color to his application where possible.
The new tactic worked, and he’s been accepted at Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Sloan School of Management, wait-listed? at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management?? and awaits news from Harvard Business School, where he recently interviewed.??
Do: Use the additional essay question to explain what’s changed in your situation to make you a stronger candidate this time around. Make sure to address both professional and personal advancements, but show that you are realistic and self-aware. Revealing your humanity in the form of quirks, weaknesses and flaws can often help the admissions committee to like you.
Don’t: Recycle essays from the first time around, and don’t use the same essay for multiple schools. At best, the byproduct of being all-inclusive is that you will sound generic. At worst, you might accidentally leave the wrong school name in the essay and be rejected out of hand for your lack of attention to detail.
改變文章的寫(xiě)作方式
有時(shí)申請(qǐng)者一心想要寫(xiě)出完美的文章，但實(shí)際上他們只要寫(xiě)出令人信服的文章就好了。工商管理學(xué)碩士研究生Scott Duncan去年申請(qǐng)了5所學(xué)校，但沒(méi)有一所大學(xué)錄取他。今年他改變了策略，用簡(jiǎn)單的但讓人信服的文章取代了看似完美實(shí)則生硬的文章，結(jié)果他同時(shí)被麻省理工學(xué)院、西北大學(xué)克洛格管理學(xué)院錄取了，并在等哈佛商學(xué)院的消息。
你應(yīng)該：在提交的文章中提到自己在專(zhuān)業(yè)及個(gè)人身心發(fā)展方面的進(jìn)步，但也要表明自己也有作為人的缺點(diǎn)和不足，這樣能讓招生委員會(huì)更喜歡你。
你不能：重復(fù)使用把之前所寫(xiě)的文章，也不能用同一篇文章申請(qǐng)多個(gè)學(xué)校。因?yàn)槟憧赡茉谖恼轮邪汛髮W(xué)的名字弄混淆，然后由于這種粗心的舉動(dòng)而被拒絕。
