企业做烦了,想改行IB/MC

目前拿到DUKE/ROSS的OFFER.今年还申了H和W,H 直接DING, W面试后W/L, 然后也DING.

DUKE/ROSS当然都很好,但,还是很想再申一年,去好点的学校.

大家畅所欲言,拍砖也可以.

First, you should share your BG/target

I found your superconcise message confusing. If you have been accepted into Duke or Ross, which are among elite B schools, I believe there is no reason why you should deny either offer and trudge through the agonising process of reapplying. Possibly, you may not have received as much scholarship award from these two schools as you had desired, which prevents you from attending them. Should this be the case, to reapply would definitely be worthwhile. I would recommend Chicago and Yale, then, since these two schools offer loans that can be used to document funding on your I-20 Form.

You might want to re-read and re-think on the "Why MBA" and "Why this school" section of your essays to these two schools (and possibly to ALL schools you applied to).

If now you aren't convinced by your answer to either of the questions, maybe you should wait for another year to see whether MBA is the right track for you.

If you are fully sure about the first question, but somewhat uncertain about the second question, you can probably weigh the following factors:

1. the chance of getting into a "better" school than Ross/Duke if you choose to wait another year

2. what new differentiation can you add to your application, which will get you into this other school that you didn't get in this year? (I assume you applied to some other schools apart from Ross/Duke this year)

3. why do you think this other school better serves your career goal than Ross/Duke?

4. the opportunity cost of waiting another year

If you find your answers to both quetions still compelling...then you won't be here, right?

Personally, I'd think a school that fits you is much more important than a school that sounds or looks or ranks better. Just my two cents.

Good suggestions indeed. By the way, your term "opportunity cost" was eye opening to me and quite caught my attention. I just got it in my micoreconomics class.

not to show off or anything, do some research on michigan's ib summer placement.

I absolutely agree with you. It is not a good idea to wave one's credentials here.

How do you know you can get into U of Chi and/or U Penn next year?

How do you know you can get into Ross and/or Duke next year?
