[問題]學費與排名

[l18david]

大家好，本人被U of Missouri--Columbia 錄取，同時Wake Forest University問我要不要申請該校(錄取機率大)。兩者都沒有獎學金，但兩者學費差新台幣1百萬元。商學院排名Missouri排名約70，Wake Forest排名約40; 前者在台灣比較有名，後者在美國比較有名。

天阿，要為了將排名前推至40，付出100萬元代價嗎?

看您想待在哪囉? 美國? 台灣? 大中華地區?

[l18david]

哇~
感謝你的回應...

原則上是希望在美國待1年多後回亞洲，至於是台灣或大中華地區皆可。

次之則只好直接回台灣或大中華地區囉...

私校好像師資比較好的樣子....

坦白說，感覺不出兩校差異（另一個老兄還覺得密蘇里加哥倫比亞比較有名呢）
你的決定應該有其他的考量吧，忘記那無顯著意義的排名吧

I had similar struggle as yours two months ago.
Even more, the ranking differecne is huge (2X V.S. 6X)
But i would like to say-----
Just follow you heart!
What is the most important" for you"?
Cost, reputation, program design or socail conncection?
Don't forget to take the characteristices of the cities into consideration!
Ranking is quite vague though I know it's hard forgoing it.
Drawing your indifference curve and budget constraint, you would find out your optiomal answer.
Go for it!

Thank you, katybubu.

Without considering the ranking, I will think more to make the final decision.
Have a nice day...

我覺得你可以透過current student或alumni來了解
如果有學長姐和你的職業目標相近....
可以看看她們透過該校的資源(或reputation)
對於幫助他們達成職業目標的成分有多大進行了解
