1.申请软件
有一个比较优秀的申请软件MCS公司的MBA Multi-APP这个软件,不太贵使用方便,而且还可以免费下载它的试用版。
在使用Multi-APP时,你只需先选中你要申请的学校然后按提示输入一些简单的信息,如姓名、地址、工作经验、学校成绩、GMAT成绩等等,然后它能自动地复制这些信息,下次你向另一个学校提出申请时就不用再输入一遍了,这样无形中节约了大量无谓的重复劳动,一份申请自动地填好一半不是很好吗?
Multi-APP还有一个引人注目的特征就是不论申请中要求的信息是什么顺序,它都能一样安排得井井有条。比如A学校要求你的履历从目前的工作开始写起,而B学校则要求你从特定的某一开始,你并不需要再重输一次,该软件能自动地安排这些信息的顺序,将他们填入合适的地方。
填完这些共同的信息大约需要一个小时,然后就要输入每个学校各自要求不同的东西了。Multi-APP提供了一个有用但是有点危险的功能,只要你敲一下键盘,就能将你写给一个学校的essay马上拷贝下来以备给另一个学校写申请时使用。前面说过,各个学校对essay提出的问题可能相同也可能完全不同,相应的essay也可以相同或不同。此在使用Multi-APP的这个功能时一定要小心,用手工仔细地修改拷贝下来的部分,以适应不同学校的要求。有时学校提出的问题是与自身相关的特定问题,这时最好再从头写一篇essay,而不要抄自己以前的作品,以免文不对题。由于这个功能可能会使essay写得千篇一律,使用它的时候一定要慎重。
目前用Multi-AP可以向50-60所学校提出申请,你可以通过调制解调器直接将申请发给学校,也可以用打印机把它们打出来,其形式与学校提出的样板惊人地相似。一些学校估计有接近四分之一的人在使用这一软件进行申请,形式上的统一既方便了学生也节约了学校的时间。
假如你有条件上网的话,可以访问它的网址://。multi…app。/multi…app;其软件可以下载,对系统的要求是操作系统为windows3。1以上本包括windows95和windows98。你还可以直接通过它的网址发出申请,或者链接到相关学校的主页上,这些服务都是免费的。
2. 申请站点
上文提到可以通过Multi-AP的网站向相关学校发出申请,除了它之外,还有一些提供申请服务的站点,有上网条件的读者可以一试。
Apply to College (//。apply to college)
这是一个专门提供在线入学申请服务的站点,利用该站点提供的申请表,可以在线向975所大学所出申请。你可以先查询这些学校的名单,看看是否包括自己满意的学校,如果有就可以在该站点注册,享受免费的申请服务。除了在线申请之外,你还可以在该站点上查到有关院校和奖学金信息。
College Edge (//apply。college edge。)
这是一个规模较小的站,也提供在线入学申请服务,不过能通过该站点申请的学校数量不多。
如果读者还不满间的话,可以通过一些大的搜索引擎如Yahoo中文网站为//。yahoo。 //gbchinese。yahoo 对相关站点进行检阅,找到更加优秀的申请站点。这个方法对于第一节中讲到资料检索也同样适用。
最后需要提醒大家注意,不论你用何种方式进行电子申请,都要向对方学校的录取办公室要一份申请资料。这样才能保证你所获得的信息是完整的,没有什么遗漏,确保你据此填写的申请材料翔实有力,有录取委员会所最感兴趣的东西。虽然在线申请的发展很快,也十分便捷,但至少到目前为止,书面过程还是一个不可缺少的环节,当然随着电子信息技术的飞速发展,可以相信会有越来越多的学校利用电子媒介作为主要的申请方式,最终有一天替代白纸黑字,完全实现电子化。
MBA个人背景样例
Personal Background
Everyone was Korean in Seoul。 No one was Korean in Prichard。 Motorcycles and mopeds crammed Seoul's roads。 Trees and flowers lined Prichard's streets。 In cosmopolitan Seoul; I was a favorite son showered with attention from a large circle of extended family。 In suburban Prichard; knowing no one but my parents; I was the only Asian child in the neighborhood。 Indeed immigrating to the U。S。 from Korea and settling down in a suburb of Mobile as a twelve…year old child dramatically changed my life。 Uprooted from the people I knew and the things I was used to; I felt lonely; helpless; and unfortable in my new surroundings。 However; I redirected the negative feelings into a force of strength that propelled me to excel in academics。 Furthermore; the immigrant experience gave me adaptation skills that helped me as a foreign exchange student in Japan and as a businessman working with people of different cultures and backgrounds。
Pampered materially and nurtured emotionally in Seoul; I lived with relatives close by and a helping hand available whenever I needed it。 My school; while stiflingly petitive and mitted to regular doses of corporal punishment; presented a system which I understood and was familiar with。 Although the neighborhood lacked open areas; it was a close…kit munity where children addressed the lady next door as 〃aunt〃 and housewives frequently shared recipes。 I was pletely at home; ethnically; linguistically; and in every other respect。
My new life in Prichard contrasted sharply with my old one in Seoul。 The neighborhood; while serene; lacked the extended support network of friends and family I had back home。 School frustrated and demoralized me because I had learned only the first fourteen letters of the English alphabet and a few basic words before our arrival。 After a fourteen…hour workday in the family restaurant; my exhausted parents were unable to help me。 Further pounding my difficulties; I experienced racial bigotry for the first time in my life。 Ethnic slurs and insults; which I managed to understand with rapidity; made me painfully aware I was different from others。
In the face of these obstacles; I started to question the purpose behind immigrating to the U。S。 Seeing my parents' exhausted silhouettes seven times a week; I began to understand the motivation behind the move that forever altered my life: a chance at a brighter future in the U。S。 Because no one could help us; we had to help ourselves。 Armed with this reinvigorating realization; I began to hoist myself out of loneliness; helplessness; and disfort。
Since my school did not offer remedial English classes for immigrant students; I began studying with only the help of an English…Chinese dictionary。 Although I was focused and determined; streams of below average grades acpanied my first year in school。 Nonetheless; by expending two to three times the effort of others; I started to notice signs of improvement。 A well…timed vote of confidence came from my seventh…grade reading instructor; Mr。 John Smith。 In his class; the highest possible grade —— a B —— was given to only one student per school year。 Aiming for that coveted prize; I managed to improve my grades from a D in the first semester to the B in the final semester。 At the year…end award ceremony; Mr。 Smith specifically mended my achievement in front of the student body。 While I received many other academic accolades in later years; no one validated my efforts and boosted my self…confidence more than that short yet significant praise。
Although it has been fourteen years since I arrived in Prichard; the immigrant experience has strengthened my character in ways that will be professionally and socially beneficial for years to e。 As an immigrant child; I learned how to transition from one culture to another。 This skill helped me when I had to make that transition again as a foreign exchange student in Japan。 Additionally; having experienced the degradation of ethnic bigotry; I have learned to be sensitive toward different people and cultures。
