Emory ($60,000 scholarship) vs Michigan

chencnm117

顶这几个问题来着：

我听到很多朋友提及读MBA要讲究出身名门的说法，想借此贴问问大家，

一、出身到底有多重要？

二、重要在什么地方？

三、有没有人作过比较，EMORY的TOP 5％ 和 MICHIGAN的LAST 10%，哪个更stronger？

The reputation is much more important than the scholarship. If you graduate from a good school, you must have more opportunities to find a good job. So only a few years you will get payment equal to the amount of the scholarship. So the most important, find out the sub-category ranking, such as the job opportunities and the recruiters' opinions toward MBA graduate. It is really a hard choice, but be serious and know what is more important for the long-turn.

I'd say $60000 is really big money. but, michigan is just too good to ignore compared to Emory (only based on general impression). BTW, how do people know you are top 5% of Emory or bottom 10% of Michigan and I doubt people care this figure. The first impression should be from the Brand, right? Only suggestions, it is a tough decision given the amount of money which would be out of your pocket, =)

刚收到Emory的录取电话，奖金$60,000 （两年总计费用$100,000多），虽说不少，但还没有达到我的预期。

MICHIGAN的奖学金尚未知。

Basically, a higher ranked school gives you better career opportunities, i.e. opens more doors for you.  The breadth and quality of recruiters that go on campus at Michigan is different than those that go to Emory.  For instance, the major MCs and IBs spend a ton of time on corporate presentations, networking/social events at Michigan and they interview a lot of people there.  Not knowing enough about Emory but I bet you they probably don't have the same level of access.  Now this is not to say you can never get into a McKinsey or Goldman from Emory but you will have to spend extra effort just to get over the first hurdle, i.e. get them to consider you for an interview.  At the higher ranked schools, even if you don't get close-listed for interviews, you can always bid some points to get one.

My POV has always been that go the best school you can get into and don't worry about money.

如果是我，我会选择michigan。钱是小事。

my 2 cents: go for Michigan. money is not a big deal at this stage.

在找工作和INTERN的时候，名校的ON CAMPUS机会要多很多。－－这个就是重要的区别了。

而且越是好学校，平台越好，学校的服务相对也比较好。

第三点没法比较。

Emory

If Emory VS TOP 5, no need to choose Emory

But Emory VS Michigan? Money talks
