目标Finance 或 Economics PHD 是去Schulich 还是 UBC MBA 纠结中~

suigu

GMAT 710， GPA 3.0， WE 6年
为了移民只申请了加拿大的学校，虽说读MBA是为了能在当地立足，但将来还是倾向回国或是上PHD。和Schulich的人交流一直不错，也知道他们排名前三，可是对York的reputation实在不敢恭维，对多伦多的冬天也是心有余悸 温哥华四季如春，UBC的reseach也相当知名，读完UBC MBA想来对将来申请他们的PHD应该也有好处，可是被他们的就业形势吓到。
还有一周就要做决定了，真不知道如何是好。请各位前辈提提建议吧！万分感谢

如期收到UBC 的Offer, 决定放弃Schulich去UBC! Beautiful British Columbia, here I come!

希望成为校友，祝你成功！

昨天面试了UBC的MBA，问问题的时候我问了一下关于做Research的可能性。她说在实习的时候可以去找UBC的教授做RA或者通过职业规划中心联系。看来通过MBA做跳板上Phd是没什么大用，但通过UBC的渠道去接触一下他们的教授和Research project还是可行的。再后面就要看我的造化了。

Why do you have to save up fpr PhD?

nowadays MBA rarely leads to a PHd anymore as more and more ppl have better background than MBA students. So if you really wanna do research, AVOID MBA, do MA or MSc instead.

In terms of MBA, your main goal should be finding a job after graduation, so UBC is really useless because Vancouver has no industry ties what so ever; therefore, go to Schulich, and its MBA is reputatble and it is located in GTA

Thanks for the suggestion! Do you think SFU Econ MA is a good choice then? The thing is I only have the money to do two years of full time study. I have to work after graduation in order to save up for the Phd, that's why I thought MBA is a moderate choice.

Although the tuition is free, but I still have to pay for my living expense, especially I have a family of four to support.

Im not sure but i think normally MA/MSc should be funded whereas MBA is not, so you can def look into a MA. SFU is a good school if you find the right prof. I know someone with a MA from sfu and phd at ubc
