Hi, Lagomez, really thanks for ur comment. When I start my essay, I will pay more attention to it. Now my main consideration is if I can get payback from my industry after I take MBA. For myself, MBA should be really good thing to get me knowing more things. However, my industry is not so wide and hasn't so many companies like IT industry. I have some worry about the job hunting in paper industry after MBA.

Welcome ur comments, many thanks.

yinjihhh,

Several things jumped out at me from your post. On the positive side, your paper industry background and experience in Finland will be great assets for you in helping you stand out from other applicants. You should have a distinctive profile. On the negative side, your goals are vaguely worded and will have to be much more concrete and researched to impress business schools. Also, it's not clear how much leadership experience you'll be able to bring to the table. If you don't currently have leadership responsibilities at work or current leadership experiences outside of work then that will hurt you. Finally, your written English seems a little shaky, so you may want to work on that or work with someone in polishing your application essays. You should aim for a 700 GMAT or higher to get into the top U.S. schools.

Hope this helps.
