Hi, all.

I am admitted by part time programs of both GSB Uchicago and Kellogg recently. They both need me to confirm before this Friday. I am wondering if anyone could give some suggestions on which one to go. I am a native Chinese and a software engineer in telecom industry, Poor at spoken (both english and Chinese) but good at analysis.

Sincerely need your suggestions and any help will be highly appreciated!

For Consulting, Marketing, Strategic Planning and General Management: Kellogg:
For Investment banking and other finance areas: Chicago. (good at Consulting too.)

No matter which school, communication skills are very important. Analytical skills solely can't guarantee success.

Opportunity cost analysis for Choosing GSB or Kellogg.

Chicag Tuition: $3650 per course in 2004 ~ 2005 (start from this summer, it increases to $3880), arking $10 per visit (suppose that you take 2 courses per quarter, each course has eleven classes. Every year you need to pay 4( quarter) X 11 (classes) X 2 (courses) X $10 = $880. Each course you pay parking for 11 X 10 = $110.

Kellogg: Tuition: $3637 per course in 2004 ~ 2005 ( it may increase in the next quarter). arking: you can get annual pass for $295

Cost for whole MBA study:

Kellogg: $3637 X 20.5 (total 20.5 courses) + 2.5 (assume that you take 8 courses per year and finish MBA in 2.5 years) X parking = $73477.5

Kellogg also offer three free courses after you finished MBA. It adds the course discount for 3 X $3637 = $10911. So the cost of Kellogg should be $73477.5 - $10911 = $62566.5

Chicago GSB: $3650 X 20 + parking( 20 X$110) = $75200

If you choose GSB, the opportunity loss of your choosing is $75200 - $62566.5 = $12633.5.

So you lose one Honda Civic today

Notes: Assume that cost for all textbooks are same.

Hey Zhliang2000,

好久没上来, 另外才看到你的信件,还没来得及回. 至于是选择西北还是芝加哥的问题, 我就公开在论坛回答你吧: 你选择Chicago GSB 绝对是正确的选择. 恭喜,祝贺!

你的分析能力出众, 一定能在GSB如鱼得水的. 我个人认为选择学校呢要找因材施教的; 以后选择职业也一样,要找扬长避短的. 各位可以找本现在火热的"strength finder"读读, 然后测测自己的长处都是什么, 我人为那是很科学的观点.

GSB的师资雄厚治学严谨(PT与FT课程同步而且同样的教师); 课程又非常flexible,你读它的PT MBA一定会非常有收获的. 尤其是如果你想专攻某个方面的话(譬如金融).

祝愿你好运. Gleacher Center 也很漂亮, 那一排诺贝尔奖得主的纪念墙多令人素然起敬. 本人到那里上过几个executive courses, 每堂都非常精彩,受益匪浅.

至于我自己为什么到最终选择了Kellogg没选择GSB大家可以去我自己那个贴子, 我有更详细的说明. 当然, 很重要一点不同, 是我读FT,你读PT. 还是蛮不同的选择和经历. 我本人也考虑了好久FT还是PT的问题. 你读PT只是别太累了就好, GSB有名的作业多,什么都钻得也特别深.

再次祝贺你, 祝你好运!!!

拜托, 这位gg, 在如此大局问题下, 这简直太是小钱了吧.
