请教：关于北美Top20MBA的Cost

请教各位大侠：

去北美读Top20的MBA，如果不考虑scholarship，但考虑签证过去后可以申请loan，自己至少需要准备多少美刀（minimum）？

当然这里的minimum amount可以指能让签证官相信你有足够经济实力去读书（至少一年的tuition和life expense等，美国前10的至少要6万美刀）的那个数目，也可以指自己需要准备的底线数目。

如NYU的Stern，Tuition and Living expenses $62500 per academic year；
可以申请的loan包括：
To assist our international students defray the cost of tuition, NYU Stern offers three private loan options, with no co-signer required, to international students. This three-tiered loan program, offered through Citibank and Sallie Mae, includes the CitiAssist Global loan, the Sallie Mae Signature Select loan and the CitiAssist Universal loan, totaling $35,000 for the 2004-2005 academic year.

这样自己是不是只需要3万美刀就可以了呢？

As for visa, you need to show at least 1 year's personal fund (in your name or your parents' names) to the officer. Don't just tell him/her that you will apply for loans when arrving at school. Of course 2 years' fund is better.

Go check at the visa forum.

Thanks, wwwzzz.

but considering the loan, the actual minimum amount  i need, taking Stern as an  example,  may be 30-40 thousand USD. The rest may only be shown on the bank account to get the visa. Is it right?
