祥述 Kelley VS USC

米可可

Hi, LZ. Have you got the official package from Kelley? Any scholarship?

I also get Kelley's admission and my interest is in finance.

In addition, we are both from Renmin U. Haha.

USC sounds better.....Location, location, location.....plus its strong alum net work as a private school and brand name in Asia.

Thinking about it: what does it mean if the location is better but ranking is not?

The one who has no good location must have something else sepcial, and it may be what you want.

I can not agree with you any more!!  Although USC just like some B-schools has good location, it still can not be rank in top B-schools.  It means that there must be some thing which USC still need to improve or USC does not have.  It also means that some B-Schools which may not have good location but have much higher ranking than USC must have some thing special or some thing stronger than USC.  Just for referance~  Thank twice!

What is the big deal in slight difference of ranking? If Kelly ranks in top 10 while USC stays in 20s, I will call  a difference. I am not from USC, but I am sure if you talk to those Americans, private schools still mean a lot. When I first came to this country six years ago, I was really surprised to see people here only care about local public schools and those well-known private schools. Internationals know (or care) more about rankings than those americans.

As for B-schools, it is hard to deny the fact that location would add more values as long as the ranking difference is not that huge.

Either location or reputation is one consideration. But what means much to us? Every one will get different answer because each has different career goal. Even though two people both want to enter I/B or consulting, their goals are not the same. So lz, our suggestions and feeling of a school are only from personal perspective, no one should know your goal more clearer than yourself. What means much to your career? Location, network, background, reputation, ranking ...... ? Or a combination of these reasons.
