My backgd:

Bs. and Ms from top public US university, and want to work in cunsulting frim or i-bank in HK after greduation.

Please advice.

These Biz schools do not have a good brand in consulting and IB industry.

Go to INSEAD for consulting career
Go to LBS for IB career.
Or reapply for a US TOP 20 MBA

Even HKUST is better than these schools if you plan to work in HK.

Thx, Gracis.

I was actually thinking to apply for next yr for the top 10. 

Indiana is good, but weak in Asia. USC is soso. These two are almost impossible to land a good I-bank or MC job.

For oxford, very expensive but only one year, class profile not strong, even weak compared with top 10. but someonetold me that it's OK if i land want to land a job in MC in HK after study.

Is this true? or should I really apply again? please give more detail on future employment propect.

牛津一听就是很牛啊

牛津没有科大牛。。开玩笑

香港人最FAN的就是英国的学校了

但据说牛大的商科确实不怎么牛

牛津名气虽然大，但是其商学院成立时间较短，在IB，咨询行业的地位还是有限的，其校友在这些领域分布还不是太广（校友网络在日后的事业发展还是很有帮助的）。业界更注重的还是商学院的品牌，其实才是大学的声誉。一般IB，咨询业找Intern，或招人一般也是去固定的几家商学院去招聘。

英国大学的学位10年前可能在香港还比较吃香，现在真正能说得出口的几所也屈指可数。在大陆，英国的大学也在逐渐贬值（当然，牛剑，LBS,LSE还是不错！）

香港科大尽管还不能跟一些知名的商学院媲美，但在香港还是有比较好的口碑，特别在金融业方向。在香港本地就业，Interns,Campus Recruitment机会还是很多，就业肯定有不少优势。

远的不说，在上海，中欧就业就可以看出。近几年去知名咨询公司就业的机会也在不断上升，05年去麦肯锡去了4个，06年去了2个。还有BCG,Monitor,ATK,ADL等一些国际咨询公司（当然这还不能跟国外一些知名商学院相比，但考虑到IB,咨询行业在上海很多也是全球招聘，以及从美国派回的也不少，以及中欧每年毕业生的数量，成绩还算不错）。所以，地域优势还是比较明显的。还有，本地的无数校友资源。

MBA一生只能读一次，按LZ的条件应该可以申请到更好的商学院。晚一年又有何妨，多积累一年的工作经验也不错啊。

当然，好的商学院提供你access to IB,MC的很多机会，最后是否能被录取，还是在于自己的实力，面试的表现。

I think OX is good enough for any MC/IB opportunity in Greater China, and I just wonder why LZ apply OX since you don't like the school.
