[讨论] UNC vs Vanderbilt with Scholarship?

高兴

总结一下，UNC and Vandy are both good schools. 可以说Vandy 把学生引进了和UNC同样的门槛里，但最后成功是靠校友，更靠个人。

究竟应该选择哪一所学校，没有一个绝对正确的答案。综合考虑cost and benefit，想清楚自己想要的是什么再做决定。

顶一下，说得非常至情至理。

其实不管是apple还是orange，如果你选了，你就应该认为你的选择是正确的。后面就是谋事在人成事在天了。

以下是引用bettywushh在2007-3-7 2:14:00的发言：

I never say UNC is a bad school. It is definately a good school. My point is, it is more up to the indivdual's effort on success.

MM 莫急，没说你说过。是概论而已。

高兴同学的发言有理有据？比较中肯。让我们又加深了对一所学校的了解。

另外，vandy 给奖慷慨么？

刚去浏览了Owen 的网页， a nice school.

高兴同学能否简要介绍一下这几年华人毕业生的就业情况？

谢先！

以下是引用高兴在2007-3-7 2:52:00的发言：
第二个原因，Owen alum are terrific. 当我在Vandy和UNC之间左右为难时，Owen alum gave me a nice push on my decision. 他们通过各种方式为我提供信息，帮我联系教授来解答关于学业方面的问题，联系海内外的相关校友来解答我的关于就业方面的问题，这些都给我留下了深刻的印象。相比之下，UNC给我的印象是比较arrogant, 有点“你来不来无所谓“的意味。当然这个可能只是我个人的经历，but small things really make a difference.

Owen alum 的热心肠不光是体现在对prospective students上, 更重要的是对在校同学找工作的帮助方面。在我的summer internship job search中，我受到了众多校友，包括在Apple, FedEx, Heinz等等知名公司工作的校友的热情相助。因为Owen student body相对较小，所以同学和同学之间，以及同学和校友之间联系比起大规模的学校要来的紧密得多。

Current Owen students are terrific, too! I am in good contact with three Owen students, they all are very very nice and help me a lot! I am very much looking forward to knowing them better.

高兴is a very very nice girl. Everytime I mentioned her to other Owen students, their first response is "She is awesome!"

I applied for UNC at the first round, not the early decision round. If you want to apply UNC next year, please try the early round, since UNC is generous to give out the scholarship at the early decision round.

I applied for Vandy at the second round.

I have contacted the current students from both schools. They all gave me the information about the intern and job placement. I will continue to follow up.

There is a Vandy dinner reception tomorrow. I will make good use of this opportunity to chat more with their alumni and current students.

Thanks for saying that, Betty! I am just trying to return the helps I got from other Owen alum.

I will be very glad to hear what you think about Owen after the reception. Gary Scudder， our Associate Dean and Strategic Management core course professor, is there. He is a very nice person. Hope you have met him in the reception.

可能是因为我们学校跟台湾有源远流长的关系，所以以前大陆学生招得比较少。比如说今年毕业的MBA班级中有6个台湾人但只有1个大陆人。我们这一届倒过来了，招了5个大陆人，1个台湾人。我问了一下2007年班级中的那个大陆学生找工作的情况，他的夏天实习是在田纳西州做的，但full time的工作，他本人倾向于回国发展。我想这是一个个例，不能代表我们学校中国同学就业的总体情况。现在我们班上的5个大陆同学全部已经找到了夏天实习的工作（在美国）。

刚看到这个帖子，也来说两句。 我刚从Duke开车到Nashiville。Tennesse是一个很美的洲，Nashiville是City of Music。我就是一路听着Tennesse电台的乡村音乐开车穿越田纳西的原野。 2年也是人生的一部分。从生活的角度，Nashiville是一个非常好的地方，音乐，人文景观，自然景观一应俱全。

Make your own choice. Good luck!
