I totally agree with kevinao.

美国的生活毕竟要比国内单纯很多，。


Yes, US life is relatively simple, but you will soon find it is too
simple that you will feel boring very fast... :-) There is company
politics as well, but no one will think you can be part of it, since
you will just be a worker in their mind. Give you the dirty work and
they take the credits. That is their country, not yours. No matter you
have become US citizen or not. If you have opportunity to work in
white-dominated company, you will see the complexity of company
politics is even more than those in China. In China, you are in that
level to handle, here, you are never considered to be able to play
those politics... :-)

做事也轻松的多

-- Not really. Depends on what job you do. Please try IB/MC here, or
even some part of Big-4... I guarantee you will never say this again.

本人比较希望过正常人的生活，上班是上班，下班是下班。

Be prepared to work on weekend and on-call (of course, also depends on positioni)


不喜欢国内无边无际的应酬和永无休止的加班

After working here, you will miss those 应酬 in
China, since you are not in their cycle (most timely their party will
not include you. If it is, it is more like a polite invitation). Most
timely, you are cooking by yourself...  Feel lonely, right? That
is the life cost...

永无休止的加班

-- If you are working in IB/MC, you will be the same. Plus, you will
handle dirty work more, since you are foreigners... (sorry for the hard
words, but it is the truth -- even Indians are above you)
==============================
If one
has never come to USA (study and work), he/she may not know how the
real situation is. Some people may complain the work in China is either
hard or boring, when you begin to work here, you will feel life is more
boring (if in IB or MC, you will be as crazy as in China, however, many
Chinese students have no such luxury to work in these areas, especially
MC -- working in MCK, BCG in China may not lead you to the same
companies in US). Plus, in China, you can have good friends to relax
after
working hours, have much fun to sing Karaoke or watch movies with
friends. Here most your time will be "GUAN 4 SHUI 3" online and play
on-line games. You will never find so many interesting things to do as
you were in China, especially for those universities in small towns (so
as I said before, no one can cheat me to live/study/work in small city
in USA any more... ) If you are from big cities (I guess more B-school
applicants are from big cities in China), you will feel the new life is
much more boring than your past life.


Prepare to be lonely for a long time... :-) If you want to stay in USA for several years after graduation from MBA.


Cultural barrier is not like GMAT, which you can work hard and you can achieve
something... Your skin, language, and culture have already decided your position....


When I told to many friends, even those coming from Beijing for short
visit, they do not believe. But if talking to those who have been here
for long time, you will know the reality. Dream is one thing, reality is
another thing...

同意dtigr说得

我也在这三年了

美国现实面不是这摸美好的

优缺点都有

我希望能做管理咨询，而进商学院深造是个捷径。

昂贵的镀金啊，算一算读的话一年opportunity cost 近200万人民币。

朋友觉得我是傻花，建议我不如买辆奔驰玩撞车，还可以玩个心跳。建议我不如包个二奶，还可以赶个时髦。
