请教：duke没有去面试被放waitinglist上了，怎么继续？

以下是引用adameye在2007-3-9 23:29:00的发言：
因为我是学生，只能说是期中考了。没有能想到的更好的理由了。
还是感谢duke给我了最后一次反悔的机会，不过奖学金机会就估计不可能再有了。
因为这个错误的决定，丧失的有可能是几万美金。
强烈建议以后的申请者一定不要在申请的时候犹豫，等到决定offer的时候再来做最后决定。

恭喜,你终于学到了点教训. OFFER还没拿到的时候, 谈什么去不去啊. DUKE的奖学金一般是两年共20000多点. 不是很多.可是,MBA就是个教育投资, 你多交点学费去个好学校, 毕业出来的时候的奖金就够你还一笔债的了. 眼光要放大点, 远点, 才能做好MBA. 跟你举个例子:

Case 1: Duke MBA, tuition ($80K in 2 years), say you get $20K sholarship in 2 years, then you need to pay $60K tuition from making loans. But you may earn $100K at graduation with $20K sign on bonus.

Case 2: top-30 MBA, tuition $60K in 2 years, and you got a full scholarship. but at graduation, you can get a job of $60K with $5000 sign on bonus.

which one do you want to take? needless to say how the reputation of the school and the network with your MBA classmates may help you in the future.

Look foward, think big and take big actions!
