5.23 北京F1 MBA 一千苦战逆转胜
终于走完了最后一步，实现飞跃。当年靠GT 的心血终于没有白费。
我很早就拿到了offer，大概在去年圣诞节。但是我等I-20等了大概五个月。这个星期才拿到。本来我准备上周五签，但是阴差阳错，本来以为和老毛和BTW的I-20一块寄出来了，结果一问却没有。于是再去催。当时我很愤怒，不过现在回想上周五形式好象很糟，也许我去就成仁了。
下面言归正传，今天的93号。
昨晚我父母告之一定要十点以后签，因为据说今天十点以后风水极好，姑且信之。所以本来打算七点半出发，该成八点出发。早上北京细雨蒙蒙，八点半到达使馆，已是人山人海。其时已经叫到100多号，赶忙进去。安检完了进到大厅，没急着交表，因为得拖到十点以后。大约九点交表，领粉红色牌。开始观察。
终于见识了网上流传的各位VO的庐山真面目。五号忘了是谁，六号想是Jfmm，七号和九号是两个tt，但搞不清楚谁大谁小，感觉tt跟我想象的凶神恶杀的样子不相符合，还是听友善的。八号后来才开，是一个个子高高的美国人，不带眼镜，我觉得他一点都不相spls。他一上来就亮出粉色，于是我们这队大约十二三人就被带到他面前。
当时我们都暗自庆幸，没去tt那里。但后来才发现这是多摸愚蠢。今天双T简直就是水车，不时有人过。反倒是我这一队一开始就签的极慢，大约20分钟一个。而且一上来就连句4、5个。当时我这队除我还有三个f1,一个情话的去UIUC学农业的研究生gg,一个去一个不知名学校读本科的mm，一个酷酷的好象是去读MBA的jj. 情话的gg大概在我们四个F1中第一个被叫到，苦战进20分钟，check. 之后酷姐姐上，没多久听到一声Why,寻声望去，高个子正在缓缓盖下章。当时我们都已经知道今天是碰上非典型杀手了，哎，当时我特盼望能去旁边tt一队。在今天之前这种想法恐怕是不可思议。
当然tt也不是都过，一些F1摸样的人不时悲剧，但也许是tt签的太快了，所以感觉老有人从tt那里望window 10走。还有一个匪夷所思的是，那些口语极好，让我佩服的五体投地的人却都没过。反倒是那些说的声音不响的却在不知不决中过了。
回到我这一队。最后到了大概十点45分，终于剩下了三个人。我，那个本科mm,还有一个带孩子的大婶。大婶不停抱怨，说太慢了，不想签了。本科mm上，check了好久材料。最后过了.
倒数第二个终于到我了。
战斗开始（寒暄略）
vo: which school
me: uni of Notre Dame for MBA program.
Vo: ........(see ds , i 20, find there are fellowship)
me: do you love football?
Vo: oh, yeah, uni of Notre dame is quite famous for football.(依然面无表情）
Vo: you plan
me: I will come back to my current company to assume a manager level position and my boss will send me to be in charge of a joint life insurance company.
Vo: any guarantee?
ME:(show the support letter from my boss and the contract with my company.)here you are.
VO: Why your company won’t pay your tuition fee since you return to your current company?
ME: (这个问题说实话我没怎么仔细想过，急中生智) There is no such policy in my company, it is just the personal guarantee from the boss.
VO: (不停摇头)ordinarily your company should pay…..
当时谈话刚开始才三四分钟，我感到很危险，仿佛他随时可能句我，于是从那时起我开始殊死一搏。
VO: tell me how many you apply, how many admit and financial aid, and what are they?
ME: I applied for 5, three give me financial aid, Syracuse, Pittsburgh and Notre dame.
VO: show me your G score?
ME: here you are.
VO: (find a Canadian school on the score report list)What is that?
ME: I took the test in year 2000, I just selected it randomly, how can I know which school I will apply then?
VO: What is your current salary?
ME: around 80,000 RMB.
VO: That is not a high salary in Beijing, will you return, 哼…
ME: The salary level of a state own enterprise can’t compare with foreign enterprise.
VO: So you will return to a state own enterprises with low salary? 哼…(轻蔑笑)
VO: Normally people pursue MBA after 4-5 years work, why you just have only 2 years?
ME: (不知该如何回答，又问了一个没准备的问题)Because I am excellent!
VO: Excellent?
ME: Yes, because I am excellent, the famous university gave me decent fellowship for my MBA study, it is very difficult for students, especially international students to get financial aid for MBA, that proves my excellence; and also I participated with two huge projects in my company, my boss will send to be in charge of a joint life insurance company. And the profit is quite huge, I can easily get high bonus if I assume the leading role……
VO: (不理我，玩电脑)
ME: (感到我不能等死) Sir, a managing director from an American company, who has known many young executives in China, also knew me well. He wrote a support letter for, would you please take a look?
VO: （耸耸肩，做轻蔑状）
ME: I hope you can have a look(加重语气，同时递入letter)
VO: （终于转过身来,用了大概十秒时间浏览一边，依然面无表情）So you will attend his company after you graduate from MBA?
ME: NO,no, no
VO: (不理我，继续完电脑)
ME: （继续垂死挣扎）I can have more than 200, 000 RMB for annual income if I assume the manager level position, and there is a lot of material income; the bonus for the joint venture will be quite profitable. Would you like to see the strategic blueprint of the joint venture? I have established strong business relationship in China while I have none in US? Relationship in China is very, very important for doing business in China, if your were me, will you stay in US to struggle from Zero while abandon your foundation in China…..
VO根本不理我，过了一会了，终于转过身来，好象要下结论的样子。我的眼睛盯着他的右手，因为章在右手边，我当时正在琢磨他伸右手的话我还能说什么，当时我已快绝望了，不过我当时也想不管如何我还要申辩。突然，我发现他的左手不知什么时候拿了一个小黄条，简直就跟变魔术一样，当时脑子里一片空白，他好象说了一句话，就把条递出来了。我一把抢过，一声“thank you”,赶快跑掉，生怕他反悔。
我们那一队最后三个都过了，加上前面过了一个好象是去USC访问的，以及那个被check的情话gg,其他七八个全部句了。
等签证的时候，和一个去duke读MBA的gg聊了一会，他一上来就问我“你是×××公司出来的？”我才知道我当时说话声音极大，接近于吼叫，恐怕台下都听的很清楚。这位３０岁的ggGMAT 居然有７７０，怪不得人家能去duke,而且他居然对G-region和chasedream一无所知。
几点感想：
１． 要坚持到底。其实我觉得几乎每项归国计划都可以被挑出漏洞，我从一开始就陷入苦战，但是我想只要VO的章没盖下去，我一定要把我一切能说的都说出来来挽回颓势，坚持到最后一秒钟，至少也得对的起我苦苦的站了两个多小时的代价。绝对不能傻等他发问。如果今天的放水日我过不了，二千很可能遇到坏形势，而且很可能会遇见恢复常态的两个tt,恐怕二千都凶多吉少。
２． 背诵作用不大，一般来说站了两个小时左右，人已经麻木了，我练习了很长时间script，但最后说的大部分都是当时现想的，凭直觉回答，而且语法漏洞百出，不过这似乎也没关系。
３． 前几天北京尸横边地，血流成河，谁都没想到今天会是大放水。据我目测，今天上午大概有２００多人签，过了大约１００人上下。这个比率恐怕是比较理想的了，很难要求更好了。而且我觉得是不是一般连续几天恐怖之后会开闸放水一天，也许是政策导向。当然要把握到底是哪天很难。
4. 签证八分运气，两分准备，如果我没有在进大厅后磨蹭几分钟交表，就很有可能会成为我们那一队前面几个签的人，恐怕就已经就义了。今天不过，二千恐怕机会也渺茫，这就是命运。
最后是感谢，从2000年考GMAT到现在，特别是最近一年的申请，确实很辛苦，要感谢太多人了，首先要感谢父母一路上的支持，还有lzhyong, fyi, elephant gong对我的鼓励与帮助，让我在最艰难的时候感到有人相伴，感谢所有祝福我的人，感谢老毛，btw, meet in South band，感谢chasedream,g-region, 还有gter. 祝所有xdjm 飞跃成功。
