求大牛指点MIS去向

今年没申请什么好学校，目前为止University of Utah给了我offer. University of Colorado Boulder请我去访问，但要先听我的感觉才告诉我他们的感觉（必须我说他们是我最想去的）。MSU把我wait-list（本来很想去，现在据说他们的大牛Sambamurthy要离开了，也就没什么兴趣了）。现在就这点选择，我周围的人和系里的老师都让我从了UTAH，我也不知道应该怎么选择，总觉得UTAH虽然faculty还好，特别是data mining做的不错，但综排似乎搓了一点，大家各位大牛有什么感想呢？你们说我是从了UTAH还是放弃一年，明年有经验了再申一次（这次都没敢申那些好学校，比如Minnesota，Michigan, Maryland...）。顺便提一下我的背景，很弱，本科CS，美国University of Florida的ISOM硕士，GPA 3.8, GRE 1430，无研究经历，无牛腿。大家说说我这种背景是不是就今年从了算了？要不然明年可能会什么都没有，最后连UTAH都不能去了？谢谢大家～～

if you wanna do data mining, Utah is a great program for you. I guess you will also get good training in econometrics as well. The program is small. So make sure whether you are comfortable with data-driven research.

PS: The winter conference in Utah is fantastic.

U of Utah的reputation还不错吧。

Well, recently, business intelligence is a hot topic in MIS. Since it is closely related to data mining techniques, I think Utah might be a good chlice. But I am kinda surprised because about three years ago, when I was contacting a professor in Utah MIS, he told me that they did not finance any Ph.D. students. I guess recently they changed the policy or get some funding. But anyway, it is a good sign. University of Colorado Boulder is better in terms of research. But my suggestion is you know the job market is bad. I don't know if it will turn around in a couple of years. Unless we graduate from a top MIS program with strong publication or strong big name recommendation letters, otherwise, in most cases, we go to teaching university. Therefore, what you can teach turns out to be important. In this sense, you can give it a shot to Utah. I don't think the recent fad in BI will fade away. Just some peronsonal random thoughts. Good luck!

恩，别人也是这么跟我说的。可能前两年IS系成立不久没什么钱，这两年好像在狂招人，今年他说愿意最多招4个，而且funding还可以。我从来就不指望去research school，能去teaching school就不错了，呵呵。谢谢你的分析啊，很有用。
