这两天看了几乎PSU所有的网站信息，我也是在家上不去，公司可以看到。

问题1：请问，如果我全力只申请PSU一所是否可以？如果学校问我还申请了哪几所，我没有筹码，会不会被学校占了全部的先机？因为看下来就是PSU最NICE，从学校的spirit到给的奖，都很好。其他能给出全奖的学校目前还不是很熟悉哈。

问题2：网站上有说We request that the Application for Visa Document, the Financial Certification Form, and the Financial Guarantee Documents be submitted at the time of the application. However, we understand that gathering the Financial Guarantee can be time consuming and that it is not always possible for students to do so in advance. We will work with you if you submit these items after your application. 是不是其实可以先不管这条把整个package提交了再说？

问题3：

费用那边有个表。我这就不列示了，我加总了下。除了学费，还要$23,492。

另外的信息Funded by alumni and friends of Penn
    State to attract outstanding students, these one-time awards typically range from $5,000 to $12,000

In return, students receive a 100 percent waiver of tuition, subsidized health insurance, and a stipend of approximately $6,000/academic year.

看了以上资料。我想问：如果拿到了GA，那么除去tuition之外的$23,492，是不是扣除第一年的6000，还是要自己负担$17，492？这个太关键了！！！

谢谢拉。

个人感受：

生活费没有那么贵的。有学校发的6000，节省一点自己负担再3000每年够了。注意的是那个6000应该是税前的。税后会少一些，还有保险啊什么的。

暑期实习收入通常有6000以上，第二年做20小时的GA收入在10000以上。所以总的来说如果节约一点的人，两年下来应该不需要扔钱进去。

但是那个17492你得准备用来签证。

您好，想问一下PSU接受从别的学校MBA项目一年或者半年转过来的吗？

多谢Pumpkin前辈：）

State College 是小地方，生活上费用算是低的，当然出去吃饭喝酒就不能算了。

如果经济上考虑比较多的话，SMEAL的ROI在美国学校里面很不错了。

SMEAL能够提供比较多的GA有个重要原因是商学院的本科项目很大。那时候我是给本科生作助教的。我那门课不需要我们助教讲课，我们有的同学做的助教是讲课的，比如ACCOUNTING什么的。

请问：Question 2中We focus on developing what we call “principled leadership.” What does that mean to you, and specifically how have you demonstrated it?

principled leadership是特指要体现“原则性”？如何理解较好。

另外，要求学历学籍和成绩单一起邮寄，是否直接从学校那边邮寄，还是可以都打包？主要是我学历毕业证盖章的在身边。成绩确要从学校那边要新盖章的。谢谢

Principled Leadership是有效管理的意思。这是比较流行的管理学术语，可以在写之前，去了解一下。

所有的证明都可以自己打包寄，我不明白什么叫“盖章”在身边，当时是到学校开具了各项的中英文版本，一起寄出的。

To ridiculousha,

Unfortunately, we have no policy for that situation.
