好多钱啊

Basically I chose B Schools based on whether it offers abundant scholarship, that's why I end up with "big sum" for several 2-tier

snowheat

So, by your experience, what kind of B Schools offer big money?

treadapath

mostly second-tier B schools

those with relatively higher ranking ( according to my limited knowledge ): Emory, Notre Dame, Austin, etc

others: Penn State, Wake Forest, Southern Methodist, Georgetown, Boston University, Babson, UWashington, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, Rice, ...

Real NIUers please add to the list

Good luck to you!

Appreciate it, treadapath!

Are there any schools in California or west coast offer money?

更正一下: 提供奖学金的是Texas Dallas, 不是A&M

真心为你们高兴自豪, 就象是为我弟弟.



同时也在想,原本在选校时毫无野心的我为何开始感觉有遗憾?




因为优秀的学校确实可以提供平庸学校没有的诸多优势,譬如师资,同样甚至更为优秀的同学,非凡的浸润和熏陶,出众的就业机会,一生的网络...

It Does Not Hurt To Give It A Try, as the old saying puts

While I have been always grateful

毕竟,不工作已多年了

Thanks, treadapath.

Since you havenot worked for long, so you just provided previous work experience?

I have been out of work for one year. I am wondering studying in a graduate program is another experience.

lyw4u2005是有眼光的! 我也倾向"脚趾头"


竟有点想法再试两至三所前十名的学校,最后一轮.


大家说呢, 太非分之想了吗?

I can understand your feelings, as I experienced similar situation two years ago. It's natural for people to pursue something better after achieving what they have been longing for.

But I do not think odds are in favor of you to be admitted in the last round. The competition for top 10 is really intense, a totally different story than non-top10 schools providing full scholarship. However, if you really do not want to regret in the future, you should give it a try this year or even next year (if unfortunately). Those schools providing scholarship are very likely to give you scholarship again next year.

In my case, I tried to apply for top ten during my first-year MBA in a second-tier program and was told by many of them that they do not consider students in other MBA programs. I ended up with being admitted by a top 10 but not magic 7. Considering ROI and other factors, I did not attend at last, but at least I will not regret in my future because I have tried.

Good luck with you!
