Can name a few schools so that i can make more well-rounded decision for which BS to go? thanks

sorry i cant answer this question, I'd suggest you asking about salary from each school's students and/or alumni.

emory有什么不同?

Emory is a very decent school which is improving very fast. It's just historically not being considered as a top-tier school. Though we are not sure how Emory will do in the coming years.

Emory is a decent school option besides top 10-15 schools.

If I were you, I would do more research in all Magic 7 schools plus Darden, Tuck, Duke, Michigan, NYU, UC Berkeley and UCLA. In other words, all top 10-15 schools are worthy trying. Some schools are especially great for finance jobs, such as NYU and CBS, however, they still provide you opportunities to other sectors.

zxsteven and yorkzhong. Thanks for ur advice. I like case studies in Darden. As to other schools, I already narrow down to a few.

Hi all - just finished my pre course for accounting. So I'd like to share some of things I got these days about case study. In the class, the professor do NOT instruct the basic concept, that's what you should learn by yourself before the class, and on the class, the professor gave us different cases for discussion/practise, all the numbers/balance sheet/cash flow chart are made by students during and after the class. The professor is just guiding the discussion and give instructions when there's a question.

I LOVE this way of studying since you don't have to spend your valuable time in class to go through the basic, and it really challenge to strech yourself so that you can keep up with the class discussion. And I am very confident about accounting after studying for 3 days and walking out of the class room.

Same feeling here. The whole process of case preparation and classroom discussion through the case is a very effective learning process, from which you can get into real business in depth and always learn something you might ignore before. Frankly speaking, not every one walks in the class room with (a )100% correct answer(s), and we actually react, revise and improve our analysis results through the discussion with professor and other classmates from various backgrounds.

However, be aware of a major "bad” thing about case-study: you will have to spend a lot of time to prepare for those cases so that you can fully enjoy the fun in class room. This is all about improving time-management skills, which is a necessary step to become a future CEO.....

Thanks for sharing.Darden is really attracting.

One question: since my toefl score will be ready in the end of Oct.it might be too hasty for me to catch up with the first round applcation.But if second round,I am afraid the success rate for me might be little.

I'd like to know which round did most of the 06 successful applicants submit their materials? Thank you so much!
