Hi there...
I'm facing a sticky situation here....
I have an admit from NEU and UoA Eller, both with generous scholarships. NEU has given me $65k scholarship whereas UoA has given me a GA
and my expected fee is around $6.5k for the entire MBA Program.
My post MBA goal is to work in the operations sector and involve myself in strategizing.
I prefer University of Arizona over NEU because at UoA, I can pursue a dual degree (MBA/MIS), boosting my employment chances as well as enabling me
to avail the STEM visa extension.
Are my reasons right for choosing Arizona over NEU?
My Profile:
Nationality: Indian
Work Ex: 3.3 years
Sector: IT
GMAT: 690
Please share your opinion...
Thanks a lot in advance
Two hard choices to make. First, I recommend watching a TED video by Ruth Chang "How to make hard Choices" It will give you a new perspective on how to decide.
Then you should go to both website for the schools and check out their employment information. Let yourself be the average and see if the students choose the field that you want to go to and if the salary meets your expectations.
I truly, do not think the Double degree will do anything for you unless it is a necessary in your field. I am in line with many consultants that view double degrees as a waste of time. But the only Value I would put on it is your visa extension. For that, I think it might be a good choice.
But basically it comes down to this, decide which area you want to work/live/study after graduation. Then go with the school that meets your need.
/Kudos!
