这么说，如果你想留在美国就去EMORY了

有个问题，这个人是MBA 吗？

个人觉得，如果你喜欢城市生活，以后的生活也只是想悠闲点，那就去EMORY吧。

他不是MBA，他是Stanford毕业的Phd，可能说得也不是很可观，但是代表了美国一部分的想法。我知道的，emory里有个人拒了harvard而选了emory，因为有钱。呵呵。下面是他的另一封邮件：

Here's a few more thoughts. I hope you don't mind me saying this...

$70k is a lot of money in US and will take quite a long time to pay back, especially because tax in US is ~50%.

If you had an offer to go to Harvard, Chicago or Stanford then the decision would be more difficult. I don't think there is much name difference here.

The names of the companies you work for after graduation will have a bigger impact on your long term career than your MBA school choice here.

Good luck!

An MBA without financial burden sounds great. Congs! Sweet dilemma anyway.

I believe school name will assist you in several industries, especially investment and consulting.

In terms of return on investment, if you pursuit a career outside of these two, Emory has a lead. Although Duke claims to have strong marketing focus, Emory has better location. We should forget romance and face reality when MBA is almost all about job searching.

In terms of brand name, Duke will be a bit better if you are back to China. And yes, it will be a life-long name behind you (also a very expensive one in your case). And the truth is that, better school normally connects you to interesting current students and alumni (an expensive network for you again).

这个PHD逻辑有点问题，选择DUKE 的原因就是因为毕业后有更大的可能找到BIG NAME 的公司啊！

（有点奇怪这个人为什么没提WHARTON？）

你可以对比一下两家的CAREER PLACEMENT 的数据。如果两家BIG NAME 招聘的数据差不多，那你完全可以去Emory。

最后，关键在于你自己的目标是什么？你要明白自己要的是什么？

据了HBS 去EMORY的那个人不能说明什么问题，个案不能说明任何问题，他还是个美国人，更没有可比性。 不过你可以追踪一下他的职业发展，哈哈

Congrats!! Of course Duke! It's worthy of the investment....

I noticed there are about 22 admissions to Duke, it's a big number, looks like they love to have Chinese students.
