标题: In@Kelley & McCombs

看到坛子上@符号到处闪耀，老高兴了。俺也来凑个热闹。最近两个星期收到的offer。

过去一年的辛苦总算没有白费。现在明白了很多人都说申请mba的人内心都是很强大的，现在总算明白

其中的深意了。感谢cd 给了我很多无私的帮助，在这里认识了很多朋友，大家一起互相鼓励，才可以走到

今天。昨天刚面试完另外一个学校，所以还要等最后的结果，如果那个学校吹了，估计就是这两个学校里

选了。现在倒是痛苦，这两个学校该去哪一个呢？如果我以后希望进consulting industry的话！

各位xdjm在这里给俺出出主意。嗯！谢谢了阿。

Some of my personal knowledge about Texas. Very good soft skill training called Plus Program. I know an ex-PwC graduated from Texas and managed to land in McK in Shanghai. Texas has good partnerships with some of the top consulting firms including Deloitte Consulting. For McK level, we really need to work very hard to get in - the same for anyone. Not much knowledge about Kelley. Hope it helps.

btw, I had a very good interview (I would rather call it a talk between friends) with Daniel (you can check the title of Daniel on Texas website) when he came to Beijing for World MBA Tour last November. I personally would say that Daniel is one of the nicest and most charming b school interview I have ever met. This is a very friendly school. A few friends of mine and I are big fans for Texas, no matter we apply it or not. cheers...

McCombs for sure.

justgoahead, thanks for your valuable point of view. My interview was also an informative and pleasant conversation, yes! My interviewer was Vicki, a good dialogue partner. For UT itself, it is a good university generally.

I talked to Daniel and Vicky. They are both nice persons.

One thing you need to consider is location. Then McCombs will certainly outweigh Kelley, although they are both good schools.

UT for sure. No brainer.

作者: wycg 时间: 2009-2-8 14:06
if consulting industry is your target, i vote kelley.

作者: chenvssu 时间: 2009-2-8 14:10
那如果target是IB/PE/VC呢？

作者: ucfish 时间: 2009-2-8 14:33

UT for sure. They are both good schools, but considering the location and job placement, UT should be the better choice...

btw, I have also admitted by Austin, so maybe there is some personal emotion...

If your target is consulting, Kelley is not a good option. I have no idea about McCombs.

作者: 追逐梦想2006 时间: 2009-2-10 16:26
agree with justgoahead,

kelley also has a very good relationship with deloitte or E&Y, but if your target is mck or bcg level, not a good choice. you need to work extremely hard.

VC/IB/PE, kelley is not a good choice, definitely.

作者: abcdhl 时间: 2009-2-10 23:16
追逐梦想2006, I remember you are from Kelley, right?

作者: yxb98 时间: 2009-2-11 10:15

I guess "2006" means he agrees on that both schools aren't target schools of top tier consulting firms.

Both schools aren't good for consulting career. Here are some advices if you have no more choices.

Q1: Ask for a list of consulting firms coming for on campus recruitment.

Q2: Ask current students for a ratio of how many Chinese finally land a job in consulting vs total number. Maybe they won't know the ratio in 5 years but have no problem with the number in 2-3 years. Surely hired/desired will be more accurate, but i guess it's hard to get. Ignore the information of US students cause it is almost irrelevant.

The answers of above 2 questions show you the difference of the 2 schools in macro level.

Q3: If you plan to go back to China. Ask how many alumni in consulting industry in China? It's the most critical factor you definitely should put in the first priority.

Q4: If you plan to stay in US. Extract relevant information from previous questions and analyze the probabilty. My stupid guess will be: both schools don't help much. Your personal skills/characters rather than either Kelley or McCombs decide whether you can make it.
