I agree with Lisa. Your academics look fine. The main problem you'll have is in convincing adcom that 1) you need an MBA right now, especially since you just graduated with a degree in business and chose not to pursue honors in that, and instead chose law honors. 2) your corporate work experience is...

Just to add to what Lisa said, I think the difficulty stems from not having much data with which schools can evaluate you, rather than schools being biased against college seniors. That being said, Lisa does a very good job quantifying the requirements for college seniors. Another elaboration, howev...

Thanks VP_MBA_Expert for the reply but I am somewhat more confused. 2) create a request that will ensure a letter that is in line with the rest of your application, and Do I need to write a special letter to get a recommendation ?

It is best suited for people interested in research; you will probably have little to no teamwork experience, for instance, which is a vital part of the MBA experience. Prospective employers may also question your car...

Hi, A few quick thoughts: 1) with your stats, everyone will grab you. Don't worry. 2) you raise an interesting point with Shanghai VS Beijing. A current American student at Tsinghua also told me that if you want to know local, authentic China, go to Beijing, it's far more representative of China as ...

I believe it had no effect whatsoever. After matriculating, this impression of mine has strengthened. The Lauder programme regularly recruits Wharton admits to try to apply for their programme as well, and since about 30% of the class are internationals and many others are also likely to speak secon...
