<p>How is it more efficient?</p>
<p>For example the education system, mainly the undergraduate and Ph.D parts. why much more cutting-edge innovations took place in the US-campuses than in Chinese Universities? That’s exactly what China should learn from US.</p>
<p>I have been to China and work with our Chinese employees. . No problem there, I help them a lot on technology questions and issues. However, the Google hacking is upsetting because it is being directed by your government. Also, the constant Chinese spying efforts to obtain US technical secrets has to stop.</p>
<p>Also, the “cutting-edge innovations” that you believe China needs will never happen in a controlled society. This happens in the US because of our open society and that in the US, we are able to tolerate a lot of non-conformist and risk takers that can be very creative.</p>
<p>We even tolerate Bearcat’s rants against UM and he goes there!</p>
<p>so you are not a student, right?</p>
<p>I think you may be right(though I am not quite sure about it) about the Google hackering. I personally sorry for the inconveiniece caused by the attacks. But as for spying, it happens everywhere. Are you sure that US are not spying for the information of other countries? Just relax. Frankly, corporations from UK, US make tons of money in China so probabally have to pay some “fees”. No one will stop them if they choose to leave Chinese Market, including Google. Let’s see how google’s princaple works against profit.</p>
<p>Yes, I think chinese universities are really controlled. Thank you for your suggestions and I share the same view. However, I am possive that the environment will be changed sooner or later.</p>
<p>BizNit, transfering into any of the top 5 undergraduate Business programs is very difficult to impossible. You can always try, but do not expect it to happen. Of course, in your case, you happen to have been admitted into one of the top 5 Business programs (Ross), so you are in very good shape. </p>
<p>Although Wharton clearly has the strongest reputation among undergraduate business programs, Ross will open the same doors anywhere on Earth. Do well at Ross, and you should have little trouble developing the necessary behavioral and technical skills to make you a very competitive entry-level candidate in any global company in the World. </p>
<p>This said, if you want to transfer to Wharton, there are four things I recommend:</p>
<p>1) Maintain a very strong GPA (over 3.7) while at Michigan
2) Secure an impressive summer internship as soon as you can so that you can discuss it in your application
3) Have an excellent reason why you wish to transfer. Wharton having a stronger reputation than Ross in China won’t cut it. They will want a far more genuine reason for your desire to transfer
4) Develop a very strong relationship with a professor because you are going to need one heck of a good recommendation!</p>
<p>Wharton, like most top BBA programs, expects transfer applications to be submitted by mid-March of their Freshman year. So, assuming you are entering Michigan in September of 2010, you should submit your application to Wharton by March 15, 2011.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Thank you so much Alexandre, your post helps a lot! I will keep your suggestions in mind!</p>
<p>By the way, do you think that applying after just one semester, added being waitlisted in the first year application, is useless? I mean, most schools strongly discourage those who were denied in freshman admission from applying as incoming sophomores…</p>
<p>That is true bizInt, but Wharton specifically requests transfers to apply at the end of their Freshmen year, probably because Wharton has many requirements for graduation.</p>

<p>Yes, you seem very “tolerant.”</p>
<p>Different countries have different social and cultural histories and value systems. Political systems are not one-size-fits-all. </p>
<p>“Open” societies can sometimes create the most closed-minded citizens.</p>
<p>@nyccard,
Yes, I absolutely agree with that point!</p>
<p>BizInt,you said "Frankly, corporations from UK, US make tons of money in China so probabally have to pay some “fees”. “,so I interpret this if that if you are unhappy with what you are making at a corporation, then this gives you a right to steal their technology?”</p>
<p>Hopefully you can come to the US and pass a couple of ethics courses! With this attitude, you will flunk!</p>

<p>Actually i think he has a much more realistic understanding of how the corporate world works than you do. just ask Jobs what bill gates did to him.</p>
<p>btw… Barack HUSSEIN Obama stole socialism… I mean liberalism and anti-capitalism from Chairman Mao, Karl Marx, Stalin and Company</p>
<p>I like how you emphasized “Hussein” almost as though there is a negative connotation with our president’s middle name. Lovely.</p>
<p>don’t mind him he’s a close minded conservative. I mean, isn’t it obvious that because his middle name is HUSSEIN he’s a terrible person, let alone president. </p>
<p>However, if his name was John Smith, bearcats would consider him the best president around.</p>
<p>“Actually i think he has a much more realistic understanding of how the corporate world works than you do. just ask Jobs what bill gates did to him.”</p>
<p>is this what u r talking about? [Text</a> of Steve Jobs’ Commencement address (2005)](<a href=“You’ve requested a page that no longer exists | Stanford News”>You’ve requested a page that no longer exists | Stanford News)</p>
<p>“It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them.”</p>
<p>bearcats, capitalism is as flawed as any other economic philosophy. Although the peaks enjoyed in good times are enhanced by the laissez-faire model, there are inevitable downturns and adjustments that are far more violent than those felt in socialist societies such as France, Germany, Holland and Scandinavia. In the long term, growth in economies that adopt capitalism as a model (the US, the UK etc…) is no greater than growth in countries that adopt socialism as a model. Admitedly, it is easier to acquire a great deal of wealth, often at the expense of others, in capitalistic societies, but then again, the portion of society that lives in poverty, and the crime that comes as a result of it, is also far more prevalent in such societies. In short, there is no perfect system.</p>
<p>This said, I agree with Flipper. Your emphasizing “Hussein” (not the first time you do it) concerns me bearcats.</p>
<p>^ bearcats’ behavior does not surprise me. If someone doesn’t come from a region with a significant Arab/Middle-Eastern population, they will hold more narrow-minded views. Although I would have thought bearcats (being a current student at U-M) should have known better by now.</p>
<p>The average American is socially conservative and very suspicious of things and ideologies that are “un-American.” This country for many citizens represents “freedom” and concepts such as terrorism and communism are major threats to democracy. Anything that seems related to those two is considered “evil.” Is it sad? Yes. The scary part is there are more people like bearcats.</p>
<p>^ i think he was just likening him to Saddam Hussein</p>
