MSF - UMD & Purdue
Hi everyone,
I am applying for MSF this year. My background and application results are as follow:
GMAT:700 (Q50 V35)
GPA:3.27(major in international business)
TOEFL:109
W/E: almost 2 years in EY (tax department)
Schools:
WUTSL (rejected)
BC (rejected)
Purdue (admitted)
Maryland(admitted)
USC (pending)
UT-Austin (pending)
I'm a international student from Asia. I would like to stay and work in the US but I know the possibility is not high for international students (especially MSF grads). Since the deposit deadlines for Purdue and UMD are approaching, I would like to seek your advices on choosing between these 2. Please help answer the following questions:
1. Which program do you recommend? reasons?
2. Which program has better reputation (especially in Asia)?
3. Should I wait for the remaining two? Do I still got chance?
4.Any info about USC or UTA admission status?
( I emailed USC and got their reply yesterday saying "we will be finishing our decisions over the next few weeks. Most slots are filled." The program begins on late May and it required several weeks for the Visa so I think don't have much chance on USC....)
Any advices or info are appreciated. Thanks!
Purdue is really known for its engg programs than business. Maryland would be the safest bet out of the two.
i vote purdue
Did you get any funding from either school? Which would be the cheaper program?
Maryland is a better known business school/program in a larger market (Mid-Atlantic). Its MBA program is top 30ish. I would think its MSF program would probably be the best bet between the 2.
If you're going to realistically end up back in Asia, then maybe JHU? Your profile would be very competitive for admission. Not sure if this works for your timetable though
Purdue has a large manufacturing campus right next to it where they hire recent graduates. I think it's more engineering based, but you may be able to leverage the proximity to find a job.
@"TNA" I didn't get anything funding though. I assume the living cost at Purdue will be less than the cost at Maryland? I would like to know your thoughts between these 2.
