Wharton or any good business schools.

<p>Hello all!</p>

<p>I am new here, so pardon me if I am in the wrong section.</p>

<p>Okay, so I am from Singapore and currently a 2nd year student in a local education institute called a polytechnic which offers 3 years education. Also, I am currently doing Human Resouce Management and thus would like to further my studies based on that.</p>

<p>My GPA is currently at 3.8+ and I am hoping to get it to at least 3.9.</p>

<p>I have numerous EC records, however I am not sure if they are considered impressive.</p>

<p>I just want to know where I stand. And most importantly, what can I do more to stand out? I hope there will be constructive comments. I have asked at other places and they told me that I have no chance at all ): It's pretty depressing.</p>

<p>So anyway, I would appreciate any help I can get! Thanks.</p>

<p>If there's a need to offer other information, please tell me!</p>

<p>Don’t care what others tell you … do your best and will achieve this goal.
Wharton is #1 at business so good luck! Harvard Business School is little weaker than Wharton so you could try it too.</p>

<p>^ Harvard does not have an undergraduate business major, so please, don’t post misleading information.</p>

<p>To the OP: We need to know far more than what you’ve given us. Your SAT scores? ECs/awards? All are important. Your 3.8+ is impressive, but I’m not sure how universities view polytechnic students relative to JC students from Singapore.</p>

<p>I thought he had talked about graduate school.</p>

<p>Hey guys! Thanks for all the information.</p>

<p>So you are saying that i should do my undergraduate at another uni before applying Wharton for Masters something like that? Do enlighten me on this.</p>

<p>As for my SATs, I have not taken it yet. Wondering what is the prime time to take. And when will the SATs play its role, is it during the application process?</p>

<p>Thanks! </p>

<p>I will post my ECs as soon as I get back from school! First time of the semester today (:</p>

<p>Could you clarify if you are currently an undergraduate student (pursuing a Bachelor’s degree) or in a vocational high school?</p>

<p>If you are currently an undergraduate student, you should consider finishing your undergraduate degree, working a couple of years and applying to American business schools for an MBA. It is said that the better business schools prefer applicants with a few years of work experience. Admission is largely based on your professional success.</p>

<p>I am currently in a polytechnic, pursueing a diploma. Not sure of the exact American equivalent term of it. </p>

<p>Anyway, thank you for that advice. I understand as well from kthanksbye that Wharton doesn’t offer any undergraduate program. So I will have to start looking elsewhere (;</p>

<p>Essentially, I am hoping to look for a good business school, something which I can work hard towards. It doesnt have to be confined to American ones. I am fine with British schools as well.</p>

<p>However, I am not too sure of the good business schools in the UK. Someone enlighten me?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>No. I actually said that Harvard doesn’t offer undergraduates the opportunity to study business as a major. Wharton, on the other hand, very much does. However, you should know that admission to Wharton is very tough, even for top JC students in Singapore.</p>

<p>Oh! My bad there! Yeah I know it’s gonna be really difficult to get in. In fact, I think I am really holding on to blind faith and hope. Ah well…</p>

<p>Anyway, I am basically interested in good business schools, UK or US.</p>

<p>Other than the likes of Harvard, Wharton, anyone mind giving me a list of schools where I can pursue HRM??</p>
