In了,很开心:-)有人了解奖学金的事情吗？貌似email里说如果有的话还会有director发的单独mail,这个是什么时候发呢？很有可能会accept Austin的offer,所以要开始打听各种事项了：-）

congs,不过奖学金没有一定的时候,也很难说到底有没有,所有入取的人都会被考虑

听说如果毕业后是针对ENERGY行业来看，UT-AUSTIN的MBA是个很好的选择

想请问一下，除了UT-AUSTIN之外，还有哪些排名靠前的学校是对ENERGY行业的申请者特别友好，而且就业是针对ENERGY行业呢？

 

期盼答复，谢谢

Rice好像也不错,不过大部分energy公司不招international,这是个大问题

据说，UNC是GE Energy的target school之一，不知道招不招international students

今天收到面试邀请了，可以选择oncampus 还有offcampus,我人在美国，但是由于一些原因想选择off campus。学校虽然说两种面试是一样的，但是我感觉on campus的都是二年级的学生，off campus大多是正在工作的校友，他们面试tough程度是否不太一样呢？不管怎样，我都会很认真的准备，如果有前辈了解情况，可以给我点建议。

好像学校有专门的question list,所以不管谁问的问题有一些会差不多.大部分面试都会比较轻松,还没听说有谁面试很tough

To answer common questions from admitted students:

Financing:

As far as I know, all the first-year Chinese students finance the first-year tuition and living expenses through personal savings. One of us applied the student loan at Citibank but got rejected early last semester. Considering the current tight debt market, I don't foresee there will be better opportunity to get student loan from commercial banks in the U.S. as an international student. However, if you do want to give it a try, please make sure the co-signer you find in the states have a very good credit record and financial capability. Or, you can check with local banks in China to see whether you can get education loan from them.

You can check the website of International Student & Scholar Service at UT: http://www.utexas.edu/international/isss/students/financialaid/ for information about financial aid. Financial Aid up to $2,500 per semester is awarded 3 times a year to students who demonstrate financial need. This is a competitive process as the number of awards allotted per semester is limited. Deadline to apply Aid for the 2009-2010 Academic Year (Fall, Spring & Summer) - April 6, 2009.

You can also check with admission office whether you can apply scholarship. Even though most scholarships are honored by school without application process, it is still no hurt to ask. If you have decided to accept the offer, accept it immediately and pay the deposit. Believe it or not, scholarship assignement is also based on first-come-first-serve basis. At least it's one of the factors.

On-campus employment such as teaching or research assistantships is another option, but there is considerable competition for these on-campus jobs and the course load in the first semester may not allow you to work on part-time job.

Career:

Career placement of Chinese students at UT requires case-by-case analysis. In the current job market, even American students feel difficult to find summer internship/full-time jobs, let alone international students. The best strategy is to reach out to former employers, alumni, friends, and other networks that you can utilize for potential job opportunities. Job searching is an effort-basis and network-basis process and is generally not comparable to historical data or peers background.
