标题: [Offer]MIS@Gatech

现在面临MIS Offer的选择，Gatech vs. UBC vs. Purdue。要在下周一前作决定，好痛苦。我到目前为止的研究经历都集中在Behavior IS方面，而且对这方面也很有兴趣。......

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

谢谢大家的建议！虽然大家都推荐UBC，但经过认真的考虑，我最后决定去Gatech。

$18000 per year. Tuition fee reducted to $25 per semester.

Congratulation

IMHO, if you like behavioral research, UBC is your best bet. If you are comiitted enough, doing well in the master program should not be an issue. In addition, you get to see if you really like IS research.

BTW, do you have to pay for the cost of the master's program?

Many thanks to all of you, especially jingbeiboy for your suggestions. Actually, the MIS at UBC has not told me whether I have to pay for the cost. I am asking for more details!

I just get the information that I will have a financial support for the first year, and the amount will be about 18000!

Interest accounts more!

The gap between behavior and economics is quite big. Now, UBC gives you money. So go UBC la. Next year, you can apply better universities in US. Moreover, your one year in UBC will not waste your time. You can build up your foundational knowledge, and cooperate with professors.

I think UBC is a better choice. Futhermore it has a very nice campus and view

. I think you will enjoy it there.

If your research interest really lies in behavioral research, UBC should be your first choice. Benbasat is there. If you really want to study in US, you can apply again one year later. The experience in UBC will definitely strengthen your background and make u more competitive.

On the other hand, research interest may change. If you decide to attend US universities now, I think Purdue is better than Gatech.

Don't regret no matter which school you choose.

FYI.

I would vote for UBC.

作者: skypiea 时间: 2007-3-17 14:14

Thanks for all of your opinions!!!

Since I am already a 2-year master student, I think reapplying to US after another two years in UBC will be a waste of time for me. But interests are really what I am seriously considering before making the decision.

To papawaigo:

Why do you think Purdue is better than Gatech?

作者: papawaigo 时间: 2007-3-17 14:20

Based on your information, the IS group of Gatech is too small. I think a big group composed of faculty with diversified interests is beneficial for our academic growth.

I have made a decision. Thanks!

Con!!!

作者: skypiea 时间: 2007-3-20 14:48

谢谢楼上的各位！UBC和Purdue对我都非常非常Nice，我的心中只有感激。其实，不能去UBC，我心里还是非常非常难过的。我总觉得去UBC，我在学习和研究中会非常Happy的。

但既然选择了US，我会继续追逐我的梦。我已经拒掉了UBC和Purdue，希望能有更多机会给其他XDJM。Bless！
