Hi LZ,

Sorry, I have no idea about that.

Wish you all the best!

amazingsummer

hi, nicholas，谢谢你耐心细致的告诉我这么多信息……它们非常有用。

so lancaster is a top but low-profile school, right？只是在中国的宣传做的少了点，中国学生又去的少了点，所以学校在中国名气不是很大。

很高兴认识你，兰卡的校友！

你现在回中国工作了？

LBS固然是top中的top，不过想开点，lancaster未必不是一个好的选择。

对了，在英国读完书，还是有希望留在英国做非internship的工作的？只是这样的学生，凤毛麟角，对吗？

Lancaster的MSc Finance是今年第一个给我OFFER的学校，不过不准备去，其实我也知道他家商科不错，不过总感觉总体排名不行！！小弟个人意见！！
