Tough choice: In @ Stanford and MIT

To powerapple:

100k? Really?? Do you know which fellowship? There are many on their website but nothing seems specific to Chinese students.

You can ask the current Chinese students and then the admission office. I cannot recall the exact name. You may have to agree with some terms such as going back to China without joining consulting/IB industry, if you are lucky to be awarded and going to take that. Good luck!

to stq: yes, I got offer from both schools, and I need to answer soon. I wanted to visit Boston before the decision but the US embassy in Beijing is closed for holiday and I have to renew my visa.

stanford, stanford, stanford,

hands down, no brainer...这有啥好犹豫的？两者在mba方面的差距还是比较明显的。。

MIT for sure.

California is not the place for banking.

Stanford is strong in every way!

some tips from US streets:

if you want to be a happy man, choose stanford!

if you want to be a tech nerd(that can hack the world), choose MIT

if you want to be a TYPICAL leader(tyrant), choose HBS!

if you want to be a banker, choose Wharton!

Not sure if you have any business background, or coming with an engineering background. Stanford is teaching all the basic business knowledges to all the year 1 students. If you do not have a great deal of TEXTBOOK knowledge, it is good idea for you to study in Stanford.

for sure, in terms of ranking and reputation, Stanford is higher than MIT for the Asian Community. It is lucky to get into Stanford for sure.

Well, there are a lot of young/single people in Stanford. 

The best advice: go to both schools and have a class visit if you can, then you will know what you want for sure.

Good Luck,

Depends on what you really want to do in the future. For example, if you want to do the start up, both MIT and Standford are strong. MIT focuses on Bio-tech and IT, Standford focuses on IT and Clean tech now.

If you really want to be with youth people, stanford is a good choice. If you want to work with smart,nice people, MIT may be better.
