谢谢你的指教。感觉这个就象小马过河一样，

得结合自己的情况来看这些问题

不客气。还有考虑一下天气，生活在国内南方或北方的人对美国不同州的阳光和温度适应能力不一样，如果打算长期在那。

不错，j羡慕judy你有这样高素质的领导和同事的熏陶，

相信你读MBA一定更有心得和感受。

我因业务方面，曾和多个美国top10MBA打过交道，

又和好几个世界前50名的富豪一块吃过饭，

才感觉到社会圈子真是不一样。

很多东西不是可以想象得到了，

但如果你能进入这个圈子，

你的视野和成就就完全不一样

或许这就是国外mba教育强调networking的作用。

我觉得选择读什么样的学校，取决于自己目前的情况以及对未来的发展规划。

一位朋友前几天收到一位BU校友的来信，恭喜他被学校录取了。这位校友是现任的Motorola 的President and CEO. HP的现任CEO是UMD 1980年MBA的毕业生。所以无论怎样的学校都会有杰出的学生。套用一句老话：是金子总会发光的。

如果觉得自己就是一个平常人，即使读了Top 5的MBA 也不过是有可能薪水拿得高一点罢了，那么现在选择一个奖学金多的学校也是挺好的。毕竟签证的把握大一些，上学的时候、找工作的时候压力都要小一点。

这个美国阿姨提示我，

可以先用全奖去差的学校，不满意再转学到好的学校，

不知道有没有人操作过，难么/

很多人都觉得很简单，尤其是一些不太了解申请的美国人。不过就BW的讨论来看，好像不太容易。一些本来就是一流商学院的学生想换一个好像都有很多问题。

说得怕怕的，而且有点感觉耽误一年有些不值得，机会成本太大了

first, not everyone can start his/her own company and be successful. Most people will end up working for a great corporation and retire after certain years. A high ranking MBA will give you opportunites to access those resources, either through OCI or alumni network. The so-called "Quan Zi" is what average school cannot give you.

second, when a person becomes successful without any advanced education, he/she usually emphasizes a lot that degree is nothing. if you have watched the "Apprentice" on TV, Troy always wanted to remind people that he has no education but made this far. It is the common sense. but we have to think rationaly. what percentage of business people who have a successful career without a pretigous education? the truth is: not that many

third, don't put your dream on transferring. it is very difficult to do.

again, I have nothing against success people with no advanced education. actually I admire them a lot, because they have to give more than everyone else. several people who are very close to me became successful with no advanced degree, and I always love to listen to what they have to say.

one more thing, what do we learn in MBA, the text book? no, I would rather say it is the discussion. The level of your classmates define how much you are going to learn in the classroom.

I had a few friends in U Minn and one in Carlson. Just some information re: carlson to share:

carlson placement is astonishingly high, but it might got biased towards P.R and U.S citizen. job placement is quite regional( 3M ..etc ). there were successful examples as well as bad ones as far as placement concern for chinese, but overall 2003 placement for chinese who needs H1 sponsorship is not very optimistic, but it crossed boards for all schools.

Some rumors said that tuition might be changed to in-state after 1st sememster you complaining with FA officer which could release your financial burden a little bit.

Overall Student body Quality is quite strong( numurous students in carlson are from top5 UG). However ranking in USNEWs might be biased. It might be considered as a regional school, but it was said that CMC was trying to broadcast in West Coast....etc.

But weather in Minn is COLD- can easily reach -20 ~ -30 C in winter.  You might need to learn to like the cold weather if you decided to stay in US for jobs.
