M7和top15的区别

freakidude

大家觉得M7和Top15之间的区别大吗？
虽然说不管是Ross还是Columbia，个人感觉MBA的光环效应还是得承认存在的。
如果假设进了一个非M7但也算Top10-15的学校，有必要withdraw再第二年re-apply冲刺M7吗？

看你从哪个方面看了。从毕业找工作的角度来看，S16不一定比M7差——NYU毕业的在NYC找工作可能比Columbia更方便，因为校友更多。

M7 S16这些都是国人弄出来的吧，美国人会这么看？

找工作的时候其实竞争的是所有top MBA里面的中国人

NYU在纽约不见得比Columbia更有优势吧……

Depends on your career goal and where you are going for school.  All these schools are more regional than you think if you are staying in the US post MBA.  If you aiming for China then your prior experience matters more.  
Yes - In the end, your efforts will count more than anything.  Even at M7s, a lot of people don't make it into some of the tougher industries like MC/IB if they don't work hard enough.

A lot of people have been in your situation - They got accepted by S16 but wait-listed by M7, and is wondering whether to apply again.  Application standards get tougher each year, and this year a lot of schools have reduced applications requirements (less essays and reco letters).  This is because schools want to drive up application volume, and consequently it might be "tougher" to get in next year.  More emphasize will be placed on hard stats.

Unless you are in a S16 with FULL SCHOLARSHIP, which means you significantly exceeded the standard of those schools and might have a shot for M7, then just take the S16 and move on from there.  Life goes on and it is not worth it to keep reliving the admission cycle.  There are bigger things after that.

Seriously and honestly, other than H/S/W, I see no big difference among the Top 20 schools. At the end of the day, it's the effort you put in for recruiting/network matters.

Even for a kid from Wharton, he/she will never get a decent offer if this person barely goes out to network and social with other alumni. On the other side, plenty of kids from small programs like Tepper can still get offer from BB IB firms and MBB consulting firms.
