<p>oh wow i didnt know most schools dont take u for a 2nd MBA...is there any particular reason for this?</p>
<p>and another reason why the 5 yr program seems very tempting is because many people think along the lines that theyll come back and do their Masters at a very good school but alot of them dont come back....either b/c they dont want to go through another 2 years and pay so much money....and they are content with money they are making....i was thinking that it wouldnt hurt to continue school for one more yr...it would only help.....</p>
<p>slipper another thing that i wanted to ask u was, yea ure prolly right that MBA degree from a school like fordham w/o work experience prolly isnt that much better than coming out of a prestigious undergrad program, but is it true that those with the MBA degree over the years after more and more work experience, would see a more exponential increase in their salary than those with the undergrad degree?</p>
<p>It totally depends on what you want to do. For example in investment banking, a top MBA degree is essentially critical to get to the top levels, BUT you can try to go into sales and trading w/o and MBA and you are absolutely fine. I don't think Fordham 5yr was a bad choice over Emory, but you have to make the best of your advantage of being in NYC. If you want finance, my advice is sales and trading. You make a lot more money, its more fun, and less stress.</p>
<p>hey slipper thanks for the advice</p>

that might be somewhat true... but i think a person would have more "potential salary" if they were to graduate with a more prestigous MBA.</p>
<p>I turned down honors @ UCLA for UCSB :)</p>
<p>I know someone who is turning down UC-Berkeley for De Anza CC</p>
<p>Turning down UCs for CCs is not that rare especially around LA. Most of them manage to transfer into the UCs later.</p>
<p>i turned down duke, brown, and dartmouth for georgetown. i got similar finaids at all 4 colleges but i dont believe gtown is much less in prestige to the other schools at all.</p>
<p>godivalove2: Georgetown is still one of the most prestigious schools in the country, if not on-par with some of the Ivy League schools...</p>
<p>It's official! I turned down Cornell, Emory and UCB for UC Davis. It just came down to the fit and feel- I felt most comfortable at Davis. It was hard to get over the name, BUT I strongly encourage all of the juniors reading this to choose a college next year based on which "fits" the best, even if the college you feel the best at is not as prestigious.</p>
<p>i know, audioslave, but there are a lot of people who feel as though its not even though i think it is.. thats why i put it up here in case someone does think that gtown is not as prestigious as the rest.</p>
<p>Turned down</p>
<ol>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Swarthmore</li>
</ol>
<p>So I could go to:</p>
<p>DARTMOUTH!!!</p>
<p>idontknow- Good choice! Davis is really awesome!</p>
<p>A girl I know turned down Harvard to go to a very small school in the mountains of Virginia.</p>
<p>do u happen to know the name of that "small school in the mountains of virginia"</p>
<p>Kalidescope... I myself would much much much rather go to Dartmouth than Yale, Harvard or Swarthmore...
Good decision :)</p>
<p>turned down upenn, northwestern, hopkins, wellesley, barnard, and full ride rutgers for 20K/year scholarship, honors program, and accelerated master's degree at NYU</p>
<p>that sounds like a good deal ellafunt!</p>
