Q:
奇妙又一金牌呼之欲出,现在我敢写申TOP25背景了
一直担心首都比赛因为主办单位受限。
结果刚知道,
原来,
首都“挑战杯”竞赛主办大学组委会正、副主任(现党委副书记和团总支书记)两人均为7年前从学生处、团委两部门推荐我保送硕士未果的改革派老师。
那时我给学校带来了第一个“挑战杯”科技竞赛高级奖,但不幸比赛过程里与时任教务处顶了个牛,毕业证被扣,后一年新校长上任我被平了反并大力支持“挑战杯”,现在校长调任广西自治区副主席,但陈校长的作风已经深深影响了母校(比如校长在后来师弟科技竞赛的时候跟队员吃住一起),学校成为本届首都“挑战杯”创业计划大赛的承办单位。为母校高兴。
所谓三十年河东,三十年河西。
命书说我02-11年行运“石中隐玉”,02-07年阶段是顽石四处碰壁,硬壳四碎。08-11年是石剥玉现,而后可知器斤两成色。今天还看了段杨绛写钱钟书的话:“他年轻的时候是有些狂的,因为他说过,男儿二十不狂没志气,三十还狂不成器(原文是‘没脑子’,我改押韵了)”觉得很是受用,但愿人生也得一如杨绛之女子。
还记得曾经在那个千多人的大礼堂,手一握拳拽紧,就能听到台下黑压压一片里传出的呼喊。即使挫折了,我还是留下一句话:“我一定会回来的。”
人生如戏,巧如剧本。
没想到这么快我就要回去面对曾经的各级师长了,东区仅有两个院士,曾德超,我的第一个导师,学校建校的副校长,在我本科一年级的时候就给予我考验的小小课题,并在大三的时候要我在物理科学和机电技术方向上作一个决断,他希望我在后面一个方向上作出成就,尽管我已经有了多门不及格,他还是为我争取到了院里12个推荐保送研究生资格中的1个。可惜辜负了他。
汪懋华,电院的院士,东区的学术委员会主席。虽然是我的挂名指导老师,实际上在传感器上的指导工作是他带的传感器实验室的李相平老师来完成的。为我争取到了第2次保送推荐,尽管后来传说“教育部不批准”。
工学院前任院长,后任院长,副院长,在本校没有先例的情况下支持了太多。第2次保送不成那次,貌似祸不单行还在马上转入考研考试的前几天里把身份证给丢了,这个时候研究生处长亲自给我做证明我可以参考。很不幸,又辜负了研究生处长。
还有多少事,这里不再提了。
我想过,早晚有一天,我还得面对他们,他们记得,有一个学生,在挑战杯跟最后一门补考巧合地撞在同一天的时候,放弃了这门补考,就是放弃了这年的毕业证,作为学校历史上的第一个挑战杯获奖人,没拿毕业证离开了学校。
那年他还在礼堂说他一定会回来的。
他自己没有想到这一天这么快就到来了,他原以为是几年后,创业成功的一天,他会以比较体面的企业家的身份去重新面对那些支持过自己的师长,当然也让那些极少数玩弄权术的“师长”看到小强没有被他打倒。
那个没资格读研,甚至没资格拿毕业证的小强又站到挫败的原地了。
这次是作为中英创业计划大赛的中国区冠军,首都“挑战杯”创业计划大赛清华大学1号种子队负责人回到这个跌倒的地方。
我欠下的承诺,又可以完成一件了。
——————————————————————————
深夜赶稿。
到此,大体上也可以讲讲我申请美国商学院的基础W/E了,虽然今天来看还是不强,不过我想可以光明正大地说自己是TOP25的申请人了。
教育:985工程大学,机械设计及自动化专业。
GPA:2.4
工作:民企(医疗美容设备行业)5年研发部经理,兼管过生产部,同时4年采购;然后4个月东北销售分公司经理6个月国内销售部副经理(为了锻炼自己的市场能力)工作期间,有个小奖说明有一定业绩,比如xx博览会科技进步奖。
推荐人:中国经济学奖执行理事(同时是07南方周末6大经济人物,作为项目指导老师,也作为投资人)+国内TOP1经济管理学院院长,正常的话应该还可以拿个中共中央政策研究会秘书长的。
特色亮点:首届首都“挑战杯”大学生科技学术竞赛特等奖 第一作者
第五届首都“挑战杯”大学生创业计划大赛特等奖 主创(预期,实际最少为1等,英文翻译都是1st)+首届中英创业计划大赛中国赛区第一名(到伦敦的总决赛还不知道,预期2-3名)以及全国“挑战杯”创业赛
2005年1月出版小说,当月北京海淀图书城排名流行小说TOP1,总榜紧接《联想风云》和《狼图腾》。这个没有奖,所以今年准备拿长篇竞争个“作家杯”文学赛的奖来凑个数。
大学期间的中国画获得大学校内绘画比赛第一名。
高中(省重点,武术传统学校)阶段连续三年武术季评学校第一名(同校有武术体育生和多名获得过少年组省冠军的学生,不过高中阶段没有过高级比赛)——这个没有奖,现在学习有一些富裕时间了,所以想把古老的特长再收拾起来,在首都大学比赛里拿个武术类的奖励。
其他方面准备提高的:要是还学有余力,收拾一下厨艺,中国是第一美食之国,所以我想考个川菜国家三级厨师应该也是比较有特色的。并且当年略有基础,因为很多年前老母管宾馆,对厨艺要求严格,实际上单比某两道擅长菜的话,当时已经超过他们的国家三级厨师了。
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————
以上为申请TOP25的初步条件。
如果创业成功并且加注第一期融资1K万基本成局到位,我再把目标提升到TOP15去。

wow~ quite wide-range interests
also pretty splendid in storytelling
albeit not quite sure about the intrinsic significance to your career in the first half
but the general direction is quite correct
while this is only about 30% done
since these recommenders can only play limited role in whether your career or your application
approximately 10% or less
the bigger their titles
the less they'll know about you in person
since they have something more important to do
while the key is still missing
why mba?
where are you going in your career specifically? how do you define your career objectives
how do you find the needed parts of mba? what exactly are these parts
please be very specific, or nearly laser-focused
whereas the 3 most important souls are in a fog
1st is your leadership
why you only have fragmental achievements or awards after these long years? assuming you're climbing your "life" ladder constantly with internal motivations
2nd is your GPA problem
it's significantly lower than a common 3.5
plus the 3rd
your wide but jumpy interests
writing, drawing, cooking, martial art...etc.
it can be translated into energetic extracurricular
but it can also be misinterpreted as major distractions from core business
all these spots need to be evaluated as a whole package
and extracted the underlying significance to refine into the "life impact"
the good news is your first job is highly revelant to your core profession from college
while the inexplicit part is why you have so many "not-so-relevant" job functions all plugged in at the same period? why a R&D manager would "fish around" in operation and purchasing???
this maybe very risky, since either your company had some major problem about job segmenting, or you were messing around
all due my respect and sorry to say all these
it also led to another question that why and how was the entrepreneurship relevant with your career logic here?
it's a relatively good start here
but anything can put your under the gun
especially the first and foremost GMAT is still hanging
top 25? or even top 10? probably
or fall out of top 100? still likely

A:
why you don't have full time experience?
and why MBA?
need to find out several things
what exactly do you want to do for your career?
what's the relevance and irreplaceability for this career direction?
what the relationship among your 3 career drivers: passion, personality, and professional?
and where is your leadership?
that's the soul of MBA
but only after you can prove your own one
then the school will grant you theirs

算了,不要如此激动
这里的人有几个是真正冲着课程去的?无非是想借着学校的名声混几年以后进投行的。
职业生涯?他们不会考虑的。
忘记了几年前所有中国人都学计算机的热潮了吗?
A:
Thank you for reading my postings
just remember
career is yours, not others
and who exactly really got into IB through their school names?
even so, how long did they stay in the industry?
did they really make big money? how much?
how about their rest of life?
and how happy they are?
money can't buy happiness
only when your job itself can make you feel contented
then your soul is awakened

找工作的时候大家就会发现一般公司都非常看重你之前的工作经历
如果完全不相关的话,也许可以考虑去consulting firm,他们对相关工作背景的要求相对少些
A:
this argument is not complete yet
they don't absolutely require the same industrial background
but they require how you collected all needed pieces for consulting career
it's way more difficult if you don't have clear plan about the collecting process
so far no people can really get in the real management consulting business with irrelevant background
if someone did, please let me know

本人立志从法律行业转行,想去更广阔的职业选择。Why MBA的问题已经考虑清楚,现在疑惑的是摆在面前的职业去向。外资律所工作虽然单调,天天跟文件合同打交道,但收入还不错,三年下来我这土鳖业能有40多万的年收入,但怎奈不想成为办公室的笼中人。
A:
All due respect
so why MBA?
so far no clear motivation about business career switch
and no intrinsic drivers on your 3 career elements: passion, personality, or professional capabilities
no matter how impressive is your background, or what access can you get on your letters of recommendation
your career switch has no clear direction yet
and no "irreplaceablility" about why switch to business
simply put, your "MBA motivation" is not sustainable yet
then you won't have "why top 5" either
