标题: 华盛顿大学(圣路易丝)和马里兰大学比较
各位大侠,

本人近日收到了WUSTL和UMD的offer,WUSTL还给了约三分之一学费的奖学金. 可我一直举棋不定是到底选哪个学校.UMD的地理位置好,毕业时找工作可能容易一点,但WUSTL的排名比UMD高,特别在US news上的排名要高了20位,而且学校的总体声誉也比UMD高.

哪位大侠对这两个学校比较了解,能否给点建议?

谢谢!

If money is not a big problem for you, I guess it's better for you to choose UMD because of its close location to D.C.

Congratulation! Keyan

Are you a R1 or a R2 applicant for Maryland? I applied in R2 but got no response till now. Is interview necessary for admission? Thanks!

St. Louis is one of the major cities in the middle of all states. There are many finance firm/banks in that city. UWSL is the No.1 B school in that region.

UMD is not bad, but it is about second or third in its own region.

Maryland once was a top 25 bschool, but now Olin is a better choice when taking ROI into account.

拿着一个学校的OFFER跟另一个学校谈, 没钱的,谈到有钱, 有钱的,再提高奖金额. 反正OFFER已经在手上了,谈不成,总不会把OFFER收回去吧?

我真听说有人通过这种手段拿到心仪的OFFER, 还有钱. PF 啊!

Keyan,

Congratulation!
我近日收到马里兰的面试通知，想了解一下你当时面试的问题。如果可能，请给我发mail: gaoxy88{a} sina.com,不胜感谢。

Dear Keyan, i think it is really a hard decision. in the States, the WU is much more famous than umd (the harvard in middle-west). however, the tuition is cheap in umd. if money is not a big concern, you may need to do a thoroughful research to find out which one fits you well. i also applied both in 2nd round and am preparing my telephone interview now for umd, can you kindly share us some interview experience with us. many thanks!

I also got the interview invitation. I cannot visit campus, so want to schedule a phone interview. Can you tell me how to schedule a phone interview? From the interview scheduling system, there is no option of "telephone interview".

go U.W. St.

On job market after 2 years you will be competing with students graduated from schools less famous than yours in a promising land considering that the State of W. develops pretty fast in many industry area. on the side of Maryland, plenty of offers come from non-profit or government ognizations for international students if you are not well prepared to fight those tough competitors from Harward/MIT/ etc.. Furthermore, cities near the D.C are full of blacks and are famous for their high criminal levels since government allowance and subsidy make it easy for poor, mostly blacks, to make a live there.

Personal understanding just for reference.

They were all general questions. I could not remember exact questions they were, they were something like why MBA, why UMD, which schools else you applied for, etc. There was no weird question. Good luck!

While you can't go wrong with both choices, I will give my vote to WU, for the maturity of its program and the reputation of the university (ranked 9th this year) .

华盛顿大学(圣路易丝) - Washington U. in St. Louis.
It's in the state of Missouri (midwest), not in the state of Washington (west coast)

As far as I know, WU-St. Louis ranks higher than UMD. WU is private whereas UMD is public.

Keyan,

Congratulation

I also received the offer from UMD and hope we would be classmates. Where are you now, in China or U.S.? Maybe we could share some experience on preparing for the future intensive study?

congratulations!

I just begin to apply for WUSTL. (maybe it is late!) Can you give me some suggestion? In addition, I feel the essay questions of wustl is difficult to answer, can I have a look of your essays for reference?

my e-mail: scarlett-1978(在) sohu.com or liujun78162003[在] yahoo.com

your quick reply is highly appreciated!
