안녕하세요! 반달곰원장입니다.
미국의 명문대학교 Dartmouth College의 Turk School of Business 의 입학일정과 입학지원 관련 정보를 알려드리겠습니다. Turk MBA는 미국에서 유명한 명문 MBA입니다. 이런 유명세는 Turk MBA의 랭킹부분을 살펴보면 금방 알수가 있습니다. 우리가 알고 있는 Financial Times, Economist, US News and World Report, Businessweek 등등 랭킹을 살펴보면 아래와 같습니다.
CURRENT RANKINGS
U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT
March 2015
Tuck placed #9 in the annual U.S. News & World Report ranking of full-time MBA programs. This ranking is based on a combination of surveys of deans and recruiters and statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school's students and employment results. In the specialty rankings, Tuck was highlighted as a top school in the management category. Business school deans and program heads were asked to nominate programs for excellence in each of the specialty categories. Tuck had the third highest percent of graduates employed three months after graduation and the fifth highest average combination of starting salary and signing bonus among the top business schools.
FINANCIAL TIMES
January 2015
Tuck placed 12th among U.S. schools and 23rd worldwide in the FT's 2015 ranking of the 100 top full-time MBA programs. Data for this ranking was compiled from two main sources—statistics provided by the schools themselves and survey data for each school’s alumni who graduated three years ago (Class of 2011).. A school's rank is determined by a combination of three main factors: alumni salaries and career progression; the diversity and international reach of the school and its program; and the school's research capabilities. When asked to rate their MBA program in select categories, members of the class of 2011 put Tuck #2 in general management, #3 in corporate strategy, and #9 in ethics and corporate social responsibility.
BLOOMBERG BUSINESSWEEK
November 2014
Tuck placed #15 in the Bloomberg Businessweek ranking of full-time MBA programs. The ranking is based on three elements: a survey of the 2014 graduating class (45%), a survey of over 1,000 recruiters (45%), and a calculation of the school’s intellectual capital based on publications by its faculty. Significant changes in the methodology used in the ranking make it difficult to compare this year with past results. 2014 graduates rated Tuck #1 for how instrumental its alumni network would be in their professional success.
THE ECONOMIST
October 2014
Tuck placed #2 in world in The Economist's ranking of the best full-time MBA programs. The annual ranking is based on four factors The Economist identifies as the primary reasons students pursue an MBA: to open new career opportunities (weighted at 35%), for personal development and educational experience (35%), to increase salary (20%), and to build a professional network (10%). Tuck ranked #3 in the category of opening new career opportunities and students clearly felt that the Tuck alumni had a lot to do with their success as the Tuck network was again rated #1 for its effectiveness.
FORBES
October 2013
Forbes ranked Tuck #6 in their ranking of the best business schools in the country. Forbes ranks business schools biennially based on the return on investment for its graduates. Forbes surveys alumni and determines return on investment by looking at five-year total compensation after graduation, minus the sum of tuition and forgone compensation. The survey listed 70 U.S. programs in total.
얼마나 화려한 랭킹들입니까? 물론 하버드, 스탠포드, 유펜 같은 학교보다는 아주 약간 못미치지만 그 외에는 최고라고 할 수 있는 곳이 바로 Turk MBA입니다. 2014년 10월에 발표된 Economist 랭킹에서는 전 세계에서 2위를 차지하는 멋진 결과를 뽐내기도 하였습니다. 이런 명문 Turk MBA의 입학지원일정을 먼저 살펴보겠습니다.

에세이 질문 중 첫번째는 거의 모든 MBA가 질문하는 내용들입니다. 후보자의 장단기 목표를 물어보묜서 그런 목표를 달성하기 위해서 왜 MBA가 필요한지, 그리고 특히 왜 Turk MBA인지를 물어보고 있습니다. 두번째 질문도 특별한 질문은 아니고 통상적으로 질문하는 내용입니다. 세번째는 optional이고 네번째는 지응시자에게 해당하는 질문입니다. 그러므로 에세이 질문 1,2번에 대해서 집중해서 준비를 잘 하면 됩니다.
