[Career Explorer]應該申請排名多少的學校???

http://www.chemy.idv.tw/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=28871
Q:
想請問傷心咖啡店上面的前輩們,在申請學校前你們是用什麼標準來選學校呢?應該要申請排名多少的學校呢? 我的條件: 新竹交流道附近大學工學院大四中 GPA四年下來3.4,大一太混,大二以後主科大多有4.0 GRE考了去年10月的,V 500 Q 800 AWA 4.0 TOEFL還沒去考,只考過TOEIC 然後就只有做專題,校內活動就只有當班上跟系上幹部而已 條件如此單薄的我究竟要申請top多少的學校呢?感覺申請top 20的肯定不會上,但是又不知道自己的底限在哪‧希望板上有經驗的前輩們能夠推薦我一些適合的學校

A:
are you talking about MBA?
several directions
work first for a least 4~5 years if you really want top 20

have the right exams
MBA requires GMAT not GRE
TOEFL is almost 10 times harder than TOEIC now

finally and the most importantly
for your advance studying and for your life-long career
what's your career vision and why mba
or why study anyway?

see what your competition may look like
an Indian applicant from Businessweek forum asked me the chance to get admission 2 weeks ago
tech background applying Stanford
GMAT 710, English native of sourse
master degree from one of the best college in India
10 years experience in consulting industry, senior consultant
Coke India intern
had work for GE Capital and Tata Steel, should be the 2nd largest company in India
full page of extracurricular
fluent in Russian
flying license, piloting as hobby

I replied probably only 70~80% since his career direction is still somewhat blur
see the analysis here http://mbacareerfitter.blogspot.com/2008/02/personal-brandingstanford-application.html
it's just too competitive if you see what happened on BW forum

just be more prepared.
