Just want to hear everyone's take on this. Do you think that a Chinese MBA and JD will only be sold at a competitive market price if he graduates from Ivy league? After all, there is just tiny tinny percentage of China born Chinese possess the intellectual to obtain both degrees from tier one American universities. What are the odds for those who come from Tier 2/Tier 3 universities? The article about this very capable Chinese guy who went to American law school in 1986 and was the first China born American lawyer to open a branch office in Beijing in early 1990's, he studied at Nova (FL) which is a Tier 4 law school, but he is extremely business savvy and strategically visionary, which plays the key role in his doomed success. So, how much does a school name really play in the game?
I know a guy who got his MBA/JD joint degree from a tier 3 law school. (He probably also had a Ph.D degree in physics or chemistry) It seems that he never gets the opportunity to take advantage of his MBA training, since he started his solo practice in immigration soon after graduation. Of course, it is likely that his MBA background helps him in managing his small but profitable firm.
I once talked with him about the school reputation as to the carreer. He says the school name is certainly a big deal in job hunting. But nobody would care which school you graduated from once you get on the track. Also, if you get into a tier 2 or tier 3 school, your first year transcript weighs a lot more in the job hunting than that of tier 1 schools.
A few friends of minewho have been working in the States for a while share a similar view: once you start working, the school name is the first thing you have to leave behind.
some people think that a good school name offers an eaier start. but quite a few friends say they don't see any correlations between success and school name. This is especially true to those who are extremely ambitious and start their own business from scatch.
