选校纠结 Tuck vs UCLA vs Ross vs Duke

终于要发这个帖子了,不能免俗也要重申毫无炫耀之意 - 我自己看来今年的申请是比较失败的,申了太多同一档次的学校

现在Chicago和Haas还在WL,会争取,但估计希望不大了

背景:Tier2 Business Consulting 4 years, G760T108, 国内Tier2工程类本科和小硕, GPA3.7

1. Tuck, 1/6 scholarship

2. Duke, 1/6 scholarship

3. Ross, no scholarhsip

4. UCLA, no sholarship

目前这一刻想的以后方向是(排名分先后):

1. Tier1 咨询,美国或其他国外地方(新加坡、香港、欧洲),假设经济两年后没有明显恢复,同时假设自己的consulting经验能够有所帮助

2. General Management in industry, 国外,主要是想没有咨询那么累,但忧心薪水

3. Finance,美国、香港或新加坡,自己目前没有任何finance经验,不清楚是不是会在MBA中有所改变,但忧心两年后finance仍然象现在那么糟

4. 回国发展,例如回原来的咨询公司,但这样做的话机会成本显得蛮大的,也忧心薪水

还有一些考虑因素:

Tuck比较担心地点寒冷以及物价高,另外传统白人文化也担心较难适应。去过visit

UCLA气候好,物价也高,但LP在那边有亲戚,可能能帮忙干点活,有点收入。去过visit

Duke物价便宜,但地点的确比较小镇。去过visit

Ross工业城市附近,没去过visit

I am not sure which school you should ultimately choose, but I am CERTAIN that most “facts” listed by previous posts are quite inaccurate and misleading.

If I were you, I would seriously consider between Ross and Tuck. To my knowledge, Anderson and Fuqua have never ever been known as general management schools. You may call them finance schools or whatever, but general management school? They are not even close. The beautiful part of Tuck is its overall reputation, and finance probably. In the good old days, everybody got into the b-school to do with finance, and you cannot really rule out that possibility even the market is as horrible as right now. You may well change in your mind at a later point, and Tuck offers you better chance if you do. I really love Ross’s MBA program and I think the MAP is out of this world. Their general management has been what they are famous for, and the consulting is very decent. However, you should always bear in mind that all these facts are arguably built upon the diminished glory of the Detroit’s big Three. And Ann Arbor will suffer seriously for sure if anything bad happens fifty miles away.

Tuck. Reasons:

1. It's a general management school, which fits with your goal in consulting.

2. The Tuck and Dartmouth brand names are super strong in the US . They will follow you for a lifetime.

3. Tuck alumni are much more willing to help than those of other schools, according to current b-schoolers.

If you look at China / Global in a long run, go for Duke! You have seen Duke's commitment and efforts in China market and global expansion.

 Tuck 这次面试官非常差。BW上好几个帖子说二年级学生把他们甩在那里自己看电视去了。 我自己的面试也被甩死耗子啊,面得极为不认真,根本就不关心。我现在并不相信该校所宣称的亲人般的友爱。

Speaking from someone who grew up in the US, I would definitely take Tuck.  Tuck is a great general management school.  It is borderline tier 1A in the US in terms of reputation.  If you are worried about weather, Ann Arbor is NOT warmer.  If you are worried about blending in American culture and dealing with racist Americans, I can tell you New England is a better place to be than the midwest (like Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin) and the south.  In terms of reputation, UCLA and Duke are clearly inferior to Tuck.  You also received scholarship for Tuck.  New Hempshire is cheaper than UCLA (great area but very expensive).  Durham is a nasty place to live (racist, unsafe, and poor).

Thanks a lot! Your points are very helpful.

Now I tend to choose Tuck. Unfortunately Tuck seems cannot guarantee a non-consigner loan by now and it is critical to me.

On the other side, do you think that studying in Tuck will have some disadvantages for working outside the US? I have not made up my mind about future location, and surely it will be changed during my study period. I'm think that working in Asia or Euro is another choice. But I heard that Tuck's reputation is mainly within the states. That's another main concern of mine.
