谢谢天龙刀的意见!INSEAD吸引我也是因为自己其实非常希望能借这个机会学法语,一门我向往已久的语言.其实DUKE也很令我向往,美丽的校园,温暖安静的南方,是个适合疗伤和反思的地方.自己也是个篮球球迷,校友和很NICE,学术也很STRONG,况且自己以前做过医药这行,对它的HEALTH CARE的课程也很感兴趣.

去INSEAD,钱是我最大的障碍.我可以拿自己的将来去冒险,但实在不能拿妈妈的养老钱去冒险.去DUKE,签证是最大的障碍.目前的想法是先签美国试试运气吧

一年时间又要学紧张的课程又要学法语可能两者无法兼得吧.建议DUKE,毕竟还是世界闻名的综合大学

我同学今年INSEAD毕业, Fortune 100 公司MARKETING经验, 谈到马上要找工作的体会, 他觉得有点心虚. 至于学语言, 基本无暇顾及. 不过人各有天命, 每个人经历都不一样, 也许MM会喜欢法国的经历.

是啊 2002年好像是3万欧，汇率也就8， 200k还能接受，2003年好像就将近4万五或者5万了吧，欧元狂涨，只好放弃了，本来我也打算去欧洲的

Neither of them could land you an oversea consulting job these days. So you have to choose what you really want, career or location. Consulting at mainland offices, either of them could bring you to the door, and it's up to you to find out which one could prepare you well to break into the door, Insead or duke, one year or two years. And if you try to stay at North America regardless types of the job, surely Duke will be a better shot.

也许有点个人意见，但我觉得INSEAD在法国有点限制。

I attended Insead's Forum held in Grand Hyatt, SH last weekend. Met with a bunch of Insead students and all of them were terrific guys. However, many of them also said it was a pity that one year was too short...

Just for your reference

hehe, 真是经典问题。要赶上MBA读完是否回国的issue了。

不知mm决定了没有。

去duke比较接近一种生活，去insead比较接近一种职业培训，都很好，看你（包括你的家庭）现在最需要哪个。

至于以后的工作，insead和duke在consulting的名气上的差别，具体到对一个人的职业影响上，我感觉是不大的。也就是80和90的区别，而以后找工作时，个人的能力要占很大的比例。

祝好！

谢谢DELPHINE18和XILIN_.我现在还没定.但是时间不多了,在想办法多争取一些时间.还是觉得节省一年的时间对我比较重要.

同意楼上一种生活和一种培训的说法.前些日子看了一个幼稚的电影,讲一个丹麦王储到美国读书体验生活后和一个女孩恋爱结婚的故事.其他都很垃圾,只有一点给我的印象很深,就是一个镜头的转切,一边是文化气息浓郁带些古典的欧洲城市和时尚休闲的路人,马上转到威斯康星的田园农场和穿着布衬衣牛仔裤的美国人,差别是很大的...自己好象更喜欢前者.但显然后者更容易接受外来人更有一种热情和OPEN的感觉.

至于家庭,显然有不需CO-SIGNER的贷款的DUKE更能减轻家庭的负担.我想,有时候我们不能只考虑自己,有时候是需要牺牲一些自己的主观任性的.人生不如意之事十之八九.有时候也只好认命了.走一步说一步吧.有了决定会告诉大家.再次谢谢大家的帮助和意见.

both are great schools, but i would definitely go for INSEAD. no question about it.

why? here is why:

1. age issue

2. brand name - duke is not a global brand, but a north american brand.

3. location, RTP is a small town.

to me, duke and other 2-year programs are for kids looking for career changes, INSEAD is for more seasoned people who want to stick with his/her current industry/area.

but for you, things might be different since you are not very certain of your future direction. then duke in this case carries more weight.

good luck.

I am sure you told the visa officer that you will return to China after you finished your studies in the US but you must have tried very hard and finally found job in US got a H-1b.  WeiJunZi!

well, for instance, i never told visa officer that i would go back to China after graduation, mainly because he didn't ask,

it does not make any sense to be so self-defensive.

A blames B for the wrong-doings, then B fights back "you are no good either". so what? both are wrong. it is wrong, so it's wrong. admit it and move on, try not to do it again.
