offer 1: UF, some tuituion + GA, can cover all my tuition and fees offer 2: Tulane, all tuituion waiver. (The tuition is so high-_-) admission 3: Purdue, no scholarship. ( I hate purdue. I just want to get half tuition waiver. Why a public school require tuition up to 32000 per year?) Consideration: 1. Ok, I can afford the cost of purdue. but that also means I will have nothing after graduation. But My concentration is finance. Purdue is not strong in it and I donot know whether it worth so much. 2. I heard that Tulane is strong in finance. but it is only around 45th in overall ranking and its location is not good. Although the school is famous in Louisana, a poor state, Finding job after graduation needs luck. 3. UF, a good place to live. I heard finding job in florida is somewhat easy in USA. and the finance of UF is also strong, maybe. 4. I communicated with many current students in all three schools. They said: UF: finding job in usa depends on yourself. someone in one year MBA program got four offers now.But as a whole, it is difficult for us. UF MBA is small-size and so will affect the job hunting. No data about the previous student's job placement. Tulane: the prestige school in south. energy finance is strong. There is only one Chinese each graduating in 2007 and 2008. The 2007 girl came to TXU, a good offer. The 2008 boy interned in a little hedge fund and now work in a local investment firm part-time and have opportunity to get the offer. Good job placement! So somewhat I want to go there. However, just one person each! New orleans is an important port with too many blacks.......Louisana is one of the poorest states in USA! Moreover, a small size MBA. Purdue: I like it. ok, I love it if it can give me scholarship. But...... I donot know why Purdue is so miserly this year. Nobody get the scholarship as I know. ok, we talk about the truth. Top 25 MBA and famous in operation management, not famous in finance. But it has good professors in finance. So if I choose it, I will concentrate in finance and operation management. The job placement also concentrates in these two areas. not big size MBA. a few chinese students, but only one each got USA offers in 2006 and 2007(seems not stronger than Tulane-_-) and others went back. Chinese students also are difficult to find job in USA. Moreover, the tuition one year is up to 32000! 5. Through the internet (vault), I saw the students' evaluation about the schools.: Tulane, many appraisals. almost all are praise. top 10 in finance according to the alumni by FT ranking. but few from international students. So few Chinese! So 100% found job in USA ^-^ UF, only 9 students gave their evaluations. no valuable information. Purdue, many appraisals. almost all are praise. But two or three from international students said it was difficult to find intern and job in USA. I am worried about that! But the ranking of purdue is much higher than Tulane, I do not believe job hunting is harder than Tulane.... Maybe No others schools compete with Tulane in New orleans?? Ok, it is an advantage of Tulane. So many considerations! I hate to choose. I donot know how to choose. I just know my target is working in USA, regardless of other things! Thanks for any suggestions! 谢谢同志们的踊跃发言!!俺现在确定一个选校原则:毕业后在美国工作,3年以内不考虑回国。大家再发动一下,帮俺参谋参谋!鞠躬! 感谢大家,给大家提供好网站: http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/international-indian-mba-schools-accepting/ 印度人的CD,可以看看他们对学校的评价,还是有点用的,毕竟印度人也是海外学生的主体 www.vault.com 这个上面有很多学生评价,关于各个学校的,不付费看不全,但是看前面几句免费的也差不多能知道大概
