[求助]how to choose?

joyoni

I got two admission and have to make a decision. One is from MSHRM program in Purdue University, and another is from MBA program in University of Washington. It is so hard for me to choose the final one, because:

in UW part:

Right now my husband is a Ph.D student in UW and will graduate in 2005. I have been in Seattle for almost 2 years and I am so familiar with this environment and even the students in the MBA program. At the same time, the placement in this MBA program in almost 100%.

in Purdue part:

The curriculum in this program is almost my dream, exactly what I want. The living expence is lower than Seattle, but the tuition is a little bit higher. I have a good friend in this University. But the placement is not as good as UW.

In terms of personal life, professional future and visa changing, what is your choice?

Right now, I am doing the research to find out which one is better. Any kind of opinion will be greatly welcomed and appreciated.

my question is whether being apart with your hus.  affact your decision or not? both these two mba are very good.

Oh, it's difficult to make a decision like that. A suggestion is, find a coin, and then throw it to the sky. When it fall on the ground, your decision is shown. To let god do this job is not bad. Joke.

I have no any idea of it. Just wanna give you a laughter.

joyoni

who have any idea of the job placement of these two programs, especially for international student majoring in GM.

If I were you, I would choose UW. Your hubby is there and the placement is good! As for the curriculum, it's pretty much the same everywhere. Don't count too much on that, especially when the schools are not that top. Quite a coincidence, in my program, there is a chinese guy whose wife is a phd in UW. We always joke with him,"are you crazy living thousands of miles away from your wife?"

However, the decision should be made by yourself. Good luck!

joyoni

thanks feifeifeifei.

but the problem is that in Purdue I am admitted by the MSHRM program, different from the MBA program in UW.

hard decision and sleepless.

If I were you, I'll choose UW too because 1) Your husband's there 2)Good placement (what else do you want from a school?), 3) Seattle is much much better than Indianna, based on my understanding. However, in the general reputation, it seems Purdue is a better school as well as it's MBA program. But you always take MBA first than other MS program, my 2 cents.

Also, are you right now in Seattle? I'm taking 1 month break and will go there. If you are there, we may meet.

joyoni

thanks.

Yes, I am in seattle and have been here for almost 2 years.

meet you then. anything you need, let me know!
