Georgia Tech strategy

想请问各位牛牛，Georgia Tech 的strategy 怎么样？

清华会计系有位教师是佐治亚理工07年毕业回国的

我知道她。Georgia Tech 的新dean非常aggressive, ranking 上的挺快。但很多PHD program 还很新，大部分还只有一两年的placement。

我想读他们的strategy,他们有两个毕业的，去年。一个去了UVA，另外去了加州一个不怎么样的学校。当然听说她老公在加州，所以她一定要去那。可能地域限制影响了她的placement。

我只是想看看有没有人了解这个program 。

大家都没听过这个学校商学院吗？

好像今年不招人，你先确定一下哈

我已经拿到offer了，只是觉得五年的commitment 很大，所以想知道是不是该读。

Congratulations! I got my MBA there. The facility is good. Some of the professors are good. Chinese MBA students have to try very hard to land a job in the US.  I think it is not uncommon for b-schools professors to recruit PhD graduates from where he/she got his/her PhDs, which are usually different from his/her current schools. This gives an edge to those traditional PhD programs which have a lot of graduates and a good track record. Normally a PhD graduate with US citizenship is far more likely to get a job offer from top-business schools than a Chinese PhD graduate. If you want to get an academic position in the US, it would be better to check the placement records of the program. If you would like to be a professor in China, I think a GT hD is as good as any other. But keep in mind what you can do in China within fives years instead of getting a PhD in the US. One thing is for sure, you most probably will not get rich with your PhD and you don't need a PhD just to get a good life. Good luck!

Hey  wapianwang, I got my MBA there too! What year were you at GT? Were you in their dual degree program?
