Oxford or Cambridge? Details about Chinese!

I have followed the very informative thread on similar topic. Here I have some questions for those who are and were in the program.

1) How many Chinese students in both programs?

2) What costs of both program? It seems that Oxford would cost around GBP 3000 more than Cambridge.

3) I really feel hurt to see the "huge" difference between the two schools in the latest FT ranking. It should not be that huge. However, Oxford seemed to get more media coverage than Cambridge.

4) What are job opportunities for Chinese MBAs from both programs? Location, range of starting salaries, number of offers upon graduation.

5) What's the implication for UK's initiatives for attracting MBAs for top 50 schools to work in UK up to 12 months after graduation? After 12 months employment in UK, what would happened? Leave UK...

6) How long does it take to recover the investment of GBP 40,000+ after graduating from both programs for recent Chinese participants? I would assume that average starting salaries of GBP 52K and 62K of the two programs are actually much higher than a typical one for Chinese graduate. Anyone who can prove my wrong?

7) What kind of preparations I can make before I go to one of the two program in this September?

Thank you very much.

good questions. Have you received answers from insiders?

a lot of notes on this forum touting the brand name of the university as a whole, but no message about the employment records of chinese students.

I can only say that, on the career side, you won't be disappointed if you try hard enough. One of my colleague got an job in asset management divison of an inv. bank after FOUR HUNDRED applications. Bear in mind, MBA is no longer a golden key to big professional firms, especially in UK. Undergrads are very competitive. As for the average starting salay, forget about the bull shit. Statistically, it is negatively skewed. And that also depends on your own capability and experience.

i graduated in 2003, now working for an australian investment bank. Most of my chinese colleagues are generally happy with the replacement, with a step forward on the career ladder, especially if you are interested in finance or entrepreneurship.

I am very shocked to see that 1 in 400 applications generates one nice job offer. It seems that I have to pack myself earlier than I thought.

By the way, thank you for your insight message. Could you please send me a e-mail when you are free, wonderpiece, to my wei_z_z[在] yahoo.com. I have a number of Qs for you.
