National Taiwan University-Chances of Getting In?
I am one of those students who obsesses over every possible detail and does not rest until I have a final solution. I'm posting this question here because I feel like my friends and parents aren't going to give me objective answers because...well they're my parents and friends. For anyone who is familiar with National Taiwan University's admission procedures, I'd like to gauge what my chances are of getting into their Global MBA program. It's an All-English MBA taught in Taiwan, and they're accredited by the ACCSB, the same people who accredit schools here in the states. Not to mention that it's about 2700$/semester, as opposed to 17,500/semester, which is what i would be paying at the school I attend undergrad at. I have a 3.4 cumulative GPA at my current university, but I also got an Associates in Business Admin (hence Business school at the grad level), and I graduated that with a 3.9 GPA. I belong to two honor societies, one of which I was vice president, and I've tutored middle and high school kids in Spanish for about six or seven years. Of course, I speak fluent English and Spanish, and my Mandarin is functional. I've studied abroad in Taiwan and China on fellowships from my school, and have interned with DOJ, a private consulting firm, and USAID this summer. I don't know how much they really care about interning for the federal government here, since it's a foreign country. But here it's a big deal. Apparently, I wasn't competitive enough for the government scholarship, which has made me doubt myself. I know that a 3.4 is by no means superior, and I know that in Asia grades are very important. Oh another small thing, I'm African-American, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing for them. They don't have very many black students there (African-American, Caribbean, African or any other kinds of Black People), so I'm not sure if they want more there, and no one goes, or they'd just rather keep their international students limited to a more...Euro-centric pool. Basically, what I want are HONEST opinions (you don't have to spare my feelings really, I'd prefer you tell me 'you haven't a shot in hell' than 'oh i'm sure you're a shoo in', which is what i've been hearing from my friends. NTU is the most prestigious university in Taiwan. That being said, Taiwan is the size of Maryland....so take it how you want it. I really appreciate anybody's feedback. Thank You!
