PSU: Full Tuition Waiver 和600/月

BU: $30,000/年

They are two different schools with its own stength. So before knowing what you want to do upon graduation, it is difficult to judge.

Congrats anyway!! that is alot of money!!!!

Yeah, I know each carries its own advantages and shortcomings,
basically, I am looking for an overall great experience out of an MBA
education: program itself, ranking, job replacement, campus life,
connections, etc.



Boston Advantage appeals to me, while its ranking is not so decent; PSU
offers great personal attention, while its recruiters are mainly
industries;...



I am quite confident that there are more offers on the way, what annoys
me is: none of the schools I applied is absolutely superior to others






A little bit regret, but essentially I have learnt to be grateful for whatever circumstance life has put me in.





Candid opinions and personal perspectives (in any aspect) are welcomed!

My $0.02:
Business schools such as BU and PSU, which are 2-tier, have no big difference in the program itself, although  each school has its own advantages.  The factors that really matter for international students are location, scholarship and replacement. Inparticular, it's better if the school has closer connection with the local business communities and can create more job opportunities for international students. Of course, it's perfect if the school can provide you with more opportunities as well as more money.

If you are especially interested in some specific business functions or industries, it will help for you to check out the frequent recruiters in each targeted school.

By the way, you'd better contact some current Chinese students for more inside information before make your decision.

Great thanks to you, eeyupyup and lyw4u2005!

To be honest, initially I didn't have the ambition to apply for top business schools and to me money matters, but as things

progress, I find out that I should have. It's not fun to play with offers hard to distinguish itself from among many.

My aspiration goes to: 1. management consulting particularly to nonprofits, 2.social entrepreneurship, 3. nonprofits. It seems to

imply a somewhat broad and unusual scale when it comes to specific MBA program choice.

The list for discussion may extend further to include Texas Austin, Georgetown, UWashington, Babson, even Wake Forest and

Case Western Reserve...

I hardly see any mentioning of these schools, i guess it's because most CDers are real giant NIU and dying for only top 5-10 ^_^ ...

Any perspective on any above mentioned 2-tier school?

I do want to gain a fuller sense of them to make a sound decision, thank you for your input and I wish you all the best of luck !

In my opinion, based on your target industries, Georgetown maybe a better choice for you. Firstly, this school is near Washington DC, which has lots of non-profit orgnizations. Secondly, it's a high-ranked BS(top 30).

大家说呢, 太非分之想了吗?

For a looong long time I have been out of the world of business,  

no any single occupation taken for years already,

so whichever school admits me, it does appreciate my individual attributes and I am grateful for that
