[录取汇报] [讨论] UNC vs Vanderbilt with Scholarship?

Hi, all,

Give me some suggestions on the school to choose. About one month ago, I got the admission from UNC, and so far I haven't been notified any scholarship. And yesterday, I was also admitted by Vanderbilt with $20,000 USD merit-based scholarship every year.

BW ranks UNC as 17 and Vandy as 30. I believe that both schools carry good reputation in US.

I have been working for 2.5 year, so I dont have much personal savings to finance all the fees for my MBA. I will choose to loan or partially sponsored by my family.

So which school do you think I shall go, regarding the job placement, the quality vs price and future career development?

I want to develop my career in the general management.

Thank you so much!

UNC's estimated annual tuition plus living expenses are a little above $62,000 USD.

Vanderbilt: $60,311 USD

Both are expensive.

To my knowledge, you need to balance your area of concentration,its related job placement and network and the school strength to make your decision.  The budget sholdn't be your first concern if you can afford both.

BTW, you could see recent posts by Bettywush, she has been doing valuable research of Vandy. Good luck!

Thank you, sjseido.

Bettywush also concern about the Vandy's job placement for the international students. But there is no touch on UNC from her post.

teedayu,

I have read several of your posts. Your words are very poignant and impressive. Could you give me the reasons why to choose UNC instead of Vandy with the scholarship?

small-head,

suggest you to contact 高兴 who is currently Vanderbilt student. she has been to UNC and met Chinese students there for a project, together with other students from the TOP schools. She said no Chinese students in UNC had got internship yet while several of the Vanderbilt Chinese students got more than one internship offer. I don't mean UNC is not good, but it is more up to the individual.

高兴 can provide you a lot of helpful information. She is super nice. She was admitted by UNC, too. You may want to know why she chose Vanderbilt over UNC and how she felt now from her trip to UNC.

I hope the above information is helpful. It is up to you on your decision.

You can get their data from their website.
