MIT offers special loan for any it's MBA international students even in the first year.The loan cover up to all your two years MBA expenses. For international students MBA in MIT, do not worry the found to study in school. MIT MBA graduated, it's easy to find $100K/year job. It's not difficult to pay back to the loan.

If you have good GMAT score, essays, working experience, just go ahead to apply TOP 10 MBA. There always a way to have the found to chase your dream.

Just being clear, it's very difficult to get the TA, RA or Scholarship for top 10 MBA program, even for the very excellent US students. But it's easy to get loan for some top 10 schools for international students, such as MIT sloan, U of V, Whaton.

以下是引用nidm在2005-5-27 4:31:00的发言：
看样子我今年是不会申请了. 有一点点失落.

晚一年学费也不会降啊。

nidm

我本来计划今年上PARTTIME的.可惜没有赶上申请. 现在申请的话我就计划上FULL TIME了. 明年对我来说时间上不太好. 反正还有时间,用一个月考虑这件事把.



BTW, $10万的投入+两年的时间,如果之后,只有$10~$12万的年薪. 对于我这种30岁的老男人,吸引力不是特别大了.而付出的又不少.

30的男人一朵花，一点都不老。

毕业后10~~12万都算是高的了,平均是达不到的.

Then you have find out what you really want. If you plan to stay in your current industry, part-time MBA is fine. But I hear a lot of cases in which part-time MBA career switchers have very hard time finding a decent job. Going full-time is worth the money if you want to switch career.

Chicago GSB offers up to $150k (either w/ co-signer or w/o co-signer) loans to international students. So you don't have to worry about funding once you can admission.

But the later you start b-school, the less cost-effective. Tuition has increased 6% this year.

Top 10 B-school's scholarship, 一句话，可遇而不可求。如果冲着scholarship, 去Emory, Austin, Minnesota，UNC, USC这些排在15-20左右的学校比较容易。不过今年Duke给了不少中国学生部分奖的，应该可以试试

The vast majority of those who enrolled at top 10 schools (American or Chinese) fund their education through loans. It's possible to get partial scholarships at some of top 10 (mostly like the 7-10, but not the top 5). Few lucky ones got a bit of aid at top 5. But it's not much if we look at the total size of the hole we're digging. So I completely agree that the younger ones do have an advantage in terms of ROI.

I also concur with udream. Yes, the average salary of MIT grad is ~$100K. But do bear in mind that it's the average of all students (international & Americans, and of all industries). If you are considering a typical coporate job after MBA (e.g. GM, mkting, in-house finance), it's more like $90-95K(base salary). I would rather be pessimistic about the post-MBA financial pay-off (at least the first job) when I'm calculating my opportunity cost. After all, there are way too many factors we cannot control. I think especially for the ones who are somewhat estabilished in his/her career in the US and not seeking a dramatic career change, it makes sense to weigh all our options carefully.

Of course, if you want a complete career switch, it's probably better to go for the FT route. Just be prepared for some initial financial set backs for a better & hopefully more gratifying career.I have known a number of ex-IT folks who gave up $80K++ jobs to go into IB. The payback would be slow obviously. But none of them wants to be in IT any longer.
