pumpkin MM 是PSU的？我在PSU online chat上问过，admission committee跟我说的是拿了GA，一年大概还要15K，两年就是30K, 不知道MM的数据是从哪里来的,MM在PSU吗？

我基本上是身无分文，如果要贷款就几乎要把学费和生活费都贷了，压力实在不小，我还年轻，不想未老先衰。。。

那是为了签证需要准备的。不是真正开销。

GA 10小时每月500左右。

这里房租每月400够了，吃饭200也差不多了，加上其他，如果不买车，1万1年够了的。你可以到PSU专题里面问其他学生。

Thanks. But who can guarantee a full sholarship from Minnesota when I have not even submitted my application? My confidence? I will not kid on this. I ask for decisions from Vanderbilt because at that time UCI was the only offer with half tuition. UC Irvine sent me the offer first, then I told Vanderbilt and they agreed to send me the decision before UCI's deadline. I need to pay $1,000 to UCI before Feb 23, which I don't think I will go with such limitted aid. Then what should I do? Just give up UCI without offers from other schools? I surely want to secure at least one offer before I get the offer I want the most. Anyway, I don't think I will make a bad decision since all the schools in my list are not bad schools. I will apply to Minnesota but that does not mean I will give up all the other offers.

it seems you made the decision already....good luck....

You all are so sweet to provide your ideas, thanks!

Vanderbilt吧。在米国口碑很好的私立牛校了！

不知道MM为什么说Vanderbilt商学院的排名不好！BW她家可是TOP30的，比你的别的选择都要好很多呀！

再有又是全奖，为啥不去呢？

US NEWS的排名只有49。 我跟那边的中国学生联系，感觉他们的国际学生找工作特别难，不像其他学校的学生告诉我说他们最终都能找到工作。OWEN的学生告诉我说他们大部分都打算回国，因为在美国找工作太难。。。所以这个让我没有信心。

If you have your mind set on getting a job in the U.S., it won't take you long to pay back all the loans, even if you don't go into investment banking.  I assume you don't have kids and family to take care of at the moment and would recommend you going for the best school possible.  You're still early in your career and this will make a big difference in the next 10-15 years, if not more.

But I think it really depends on the individual on finding a good job. Top 10 schools can not guarantee anything. I graduated from a very ordinally university and there are lots of people from top universities in China in my company. I don't feel they are better than me. It is all about yourself. We have a GM graduated from Marquee University. He said he was rejected by Chicago when he applied to the program, but three years later, he had three Chicago MBA working for him. So I definately believe it is up to the individual. I 100% agree that Top schools can bring you more opportunities. but that does not mean those are not top can not. Currently financial aid is the key to me. I don't really see I can get offers from top schools, either with or without financial aid after one year. Really no big difference in my work experience, no big progress in my professions, no big income increase to afford the program cost, and I won't take GMAT and TOEFL again. So...

没错，找工作看个人，不完全看学校。您说的情况很正常。我也很明白MM的感受。

但是好学校有更多的杰出的校友，在美国各个地方，各个公司里面。MBA找工作的重要资源就是依靠校友帮助，on campus也好，自己 net working也好，强有力的校友网络的帮助是巨大的。

2年前，好几个朋友反复来和我讨论这个问题，就是劝我，劝我。。。。呵呵。我选择现在的学校，不后悔，但是遗憾。

hohoo

呵呵，PSU的足球不错啊，那个教练很牛啊。PSU所在地好像是state college，很优雅的小town，四周都是山，做个飞机就惨了，到哪里都很贵。PSU有一点，我很喜欢，那个校办冰淇淋店很不错，那个足球场真气派，10万人啊，天哪，这个town不过1万多。就是有一点啊，有一点啊，太冷了，太冷了，实在太冷了。。。。。。见过华氏温度零度以下的吗？。。。。。PSU可以让你领略的。。。。。呵呵

明大。。。。。minisota有全世界最大的shopping center。。。。。女人们shopping的天堂。。。。。。。但是还是太冷了，大家都在地下活动。。。。。。真的呆不下去

Vanderbilt。。。。。。一个贵族学校，一个playboy评选美女最多的学校，一个拥有几百年历史的老校，一个国家级植物园的学校，一个。。。。。。 说句实在话，跟其他你提到的学校比，这个学校应该是声誉最好的。从lz背景来看，医疗企业，不知道你是哪个方面的了。healthcare方面全美最大的job pool在Nashville，也就是Vanderbilt的所在地。Vanderbilt的医学院全美排名13，你会shock你看到的这里医学院的实力，这里faculty的数量和质量。商学院这两年，感觉有所下坡，但是好像学校拼命在试图创新，拎着学生去wallstreet，新开了好几个专业，Dean也换了，就是在USNEWS上面不见起色，所以估计大大鼓励高分的中国同学们去吧。知道今年来Vandy的一位GMAT是780，也是full。如果LZ有更好的学校的，我肯定建议楼主可以考虑“地方”这个因素，但是考虑一个明大和什么来着，就确实有点没必要了，因为就算从地点这个vandy的弱项上来看，其他的也好不到哪里去。你如果去了UCR，因为它地点好的话，不妨考虑一下UC其他学校太多太多了，而Irvine和他们比会怎么样？

当然我是vandy的，这个是我一家之言了，不过我可不是MBA。
