标题: [求助]Olin vs Notre Dame

Olin with half-tuition scholarship, still need RMB 200,000 per year

Notre Dame with 35,000 USD, need RMB 100,000 per year.

I plan to focus on Finance or Marketing for MBA and work in U.S. or Canada after graduation.

Thank you for your advice!

Vote for Olin. I believe it is better for career in finance.

Don't know much about Olin, but my general impression is that Notre Dame MBA program is a good one.

Notre Dame.

Olin's location sucks and the security there is very bad.

olin跟复旦有合作项目,复旦MBA要到OLIN去一段时间,所以如果毕业后回国,校友网络可能会好一些。但是,去olin必须贷款,压力大。另外,不知道贷款对于签证是否有不利啊??

Location, not a problem. Security? why bother.

If you don't know much, please don't mislead other people.

I have been staying in STL for over two years.

Well, these two schools are equally reputable in U.S., prob Notre Dame a bit more due to Fighting Irish's football reputation. Both are great private schools, so prob equally strong alumni networks. However, I have to say Olin has better location, many big companies headquarter there, like Emerson, Budweiser,and etc. Also its an important hub for American airlines. South Bend on the other hand is a very small college town, no industry or whatsoever. You will have to venture out to look for internship and job opportunities. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for your insights. Financially, I prefer Notre Dame. Otherwise, I prefer Olin. And finance is such an important consideration that makes this decision so hard. Right, people say that you needn't to worry about loan once you got a job after graduation. But, I'd like to see MBA as an investment, and I am a cautious investor, don't like too much risk, don't like to take too much money from tomorrow's income.

Dears,

I can not understand your calculation.

since you got half-tution scholarship from Olin.

Your total cost should be less than USD 40000 /per year

So the gap between these two school should be much smaller.

Olin's program is more for advanced managers that the program is more sophisticated and extensive

http://www.olin.wustl.edu/MBA/Academics/index.cfm?sid=48&tid=59

Notre Dame is more for entry-level that the curriculum and concentrations are quite fundamental and have major improvement opportunity

http://www.nd.edu/~mba/academics/twoYear/concentrationTracks.shtml

you can see Notre Dame's program is not that complete

even the most demostrative marketing is short of some key elements

such as the most critical core in marketing are missing: market research and consumer behavior, CRM, Channel Management, ricing, and marketing communication.

while you can see Olin is very complete.

Although St. Louis City is not good in terms of security

they have the segregation program that many white St. Louisans live in better-off south St. Louis City or have moved into the better-off suburbs (so-called white flight).

South Bend, Indiana where U of Notre Dame located is not good, either, and is catching up in crime rate

http://safety.fizber.com/Indiana/South-Bend/

just stay in safer area where white people reside, and stay away from the high crime rate area. It's the same rule with any other part of the States.

while St. Louis County is the safest place in the U.S.

今天收到了Olin面试官Jan的邮件,鼓励我跟她进一步联系。she is so nice!面试的时候就感觉她对中国学生挺友好,并且对中国学生的情况也很理解,还对我提出了不少有益的建议。非常有用的建议。面试完之后让我对olin的印象非常好,相信去了之后会得到很多帮助,尤其是找工作方面。当然我知道ND对中国学生也是一直很友好的。
作者: parfour    时间: 2008-4-5 00:03
嘿嘿,ND中国学生很少啊。
作者: parfour    时间: 2008-4-7 20:01
lz不妨借此机会问olin多要点奖学金嘛。告诉olin的人ND给的奖多,请他们也多给点!
作者: llinda    时间: 2008-4-7 20:41

还可以这样吗?怎末开这个口啊?


作者: parfour    时间: 2008-4-9 01:36

你就说对olin印象深刻,对Jan的帮助感恩戴德,人在中国,心已飞往olin。无奈囊中羞涩,恰好ND2万5奖犹如及时雨,可解燃眉之急。尽管心里向往olin,不得不牺牲一把。如果Olin能给多点奖会有多好啊!自己一定选去olin。所以恳请Jan帮个小忙,和他们头商量下,可否多给1万刀?

反正对LZ也没有损失,试试看吧!以前听说有人同时拿了duke和UNC的offer,UNC给奖,杜克没有。他去找杜克要,说UNC给了半奖,后来杜克还真给了点。
