Cornell拿到MBA的AD，有升职还要不要读

Pythagoras

你这样背景信息一点都没，别人没法说什么的。
Cornell MBA很少有接受defer的，除非你有非常合理的理由，比如我的一个印度同学就是在2012年快入学的时候出了车祸……
我个人是觉得早点出来读书比较好，你在原来公司继续干一年，能学到的新东西还是相对有限。早点读MBA就早点换到新的快车道上。
当然如果心有不甘，非常在乎M7，那就继续申一年好了。没有什么比“自个儿成全自个儿”更重要的事情了。

关键看你升职是做什么啊

你是在IB升到VP

还是挺有质的飞越的一次升职，所以纠结

Thank you. Since u r an alumni, how do u compare Johnson with an M 7? My current goal is to work in US after MBA, is it really difficult for a mainland student to achieve in Johnson because of visa and everything?

谢谢你。我也对于defer成功不抱有希望。您在johnson觉得未来对于大陆学生来说想在美国找工作难吗？因为我觉得其实现在的exp对未来找工作也有帮助，所以觉得这次升职会有吸引力

This question is very difficult to answer since I do not know your background, nor your career goal.  As I mentioned before, I do not think the US employers care much about the M7 name.  If an employer that you want to work for recruits at your school, then your background and prior experience becomes more important.  I know people from Johnson landed dream jobs at dream companies, and I also know people at the Top 3 last year struggling to get into a tech role, long after graduation.

Visa situation for Chinese passport holders has nothing to do with which school you go to.  In general, if you are a non-US passport holder, you will most likely have to petition for an H1B visa post MBA if you want to work in the US.  All MBA graduates are considered under the "Advanced Degree" cap, which for this year was 20K.  For two consecutive years, the US government has had received significantly more petitions than available slots, and has conducted randomized lottery process to determine which petitioners would get the H1B.  That means if a foreign MBA graduate is not selected, the individual can not work in the US beyond the 1 year OPT period, even if the individual went to HBS.  Basically, there are no preferential treatments during the H1B process based on where you went to school.

If you feel that you have a better shot next year, then definitely apply again.  All these choices are very personal, and if you feel that it is worth it to you, then go for it.

what if I don't get the lottery in the first year, could I apply again next year? So that I could use the OPT while applying for another year???

Yes your OPT works for one year, so you can always apply the year after.

the cap for advanced degree is frustrating ,do you know how many more peditions did US goverment receive this year? Sounds like there is going to be so much uncertainty. lol

Per wikipedia - "For FY2015, USCIS announced on 2014 April 10 that received about 172,500 H-1B petitions during the filing period which began April 1, including petitions filed for the advanced degree exemption."

That's for 85,000 spots, of which 20k was reserved for Advanced degree holders.

I encourage you not to look at this number, since it applies regardless of which school you go to.  No one knows what the future might bring, however if you go to a school with the mind set of learning, then I think you would benefit a lot regardless of how outside forces shape your future.

Best of luck with your decision.
