这两天讲座之后总是被各种同学围着，但是却提的是类似问题。有很多基本情况，重庆的大学生朋友们了解的确实太少，被中介误导的也非常的多。
首先，理工科的同学一定要清楚，虽然理工科的硕士拿奖学金比文商法科要高，但是硕士也分为授课类的和研究类的。而美国大多数的硕士都是研究类的（其授课类硕士通常都在LLM，或者较差的商学院里的非MBA课程，部分社会科学课程等等），英国则相反，大多数课程是授课类的，研究类的较少。简单的说，授课类的课程不需要你去泡很久的实验室，做很深的研究，而更偏向于怎么把已有的研究成果做成应用。而研究类硕士，不管是美国还是英国的，都是为PHD准备的，这是为什么研究类硕士比授课类硕士容易拿奖学金。也是为什么PHD拿奖学金的概率远远高于硕士。
然后，申请英美理工科研究类硕士如果不去跟faculty或者教授套词，那么相同背景能去到的学校会差不少。PHD基本上不套词不可能申请到——当然也有例外，比如背景已经很牛了，教授授意给AD COM看见相关资料就拿钱要人的也有。
由于商学院的问题太多，特别是最近问到读会计的非常非常多（貌似好多朋友都想去四大？）我先给几个最基本的提示：
1. 申请商学院跟申请理工科的课程有着巨大的差异。理工科相对更看过去，商学院不仅看过去，还要看现在和将来。
2. 美国的商学院很少提供非MBA的课程（比如市场营销，管理，金融等），前50当中提供此类课程的非常的少。比如如果你想读会计的Master，那么顶级商学院里面几乎没有这种课程，例如在HBS，就只有三个选择：1，MBA；2，PHD；3，EXECUTIVE PROGRAM。有些靠后的学校有，其课程设置跟英国的会计MASTER非常接近：课程长度是9月-1年的，不需要本科会计专业。比如University of North Carolina，总费用58k美元。英国很多类似课程也不需要本科的会计专业，也是1年时间，总费用20k英镑左右。
3.会计跟金融不要搞混淆，对于通常情况下的学位价值而言，金融大于会计，申请难度也是这样。但是不得不再强调一下，好的美国商学院当中，单独把会计和金融拿出来做硕士课程的概率很小，而英国很多。
4.本科毕业想直接去世界TOP30读MBA的同学，请回寝室继续睡觉。或者请出门左拐（www.chasedream.com www.vault.com ）。
5.申请美国好的商学院是考GMAT（因为课程几乎只有MBA），如果你申请非MBA的专业，那么有可能你需要考的是GRE。如果你不需要去好的商学院，那么可以不考GMAT。其实如果不去好的商学院，也就没有必要去商学院了。对于英国，OXBRIDGE和LES/IC会在部分课程强制要求GMAT和GRE成绩。而其它前十名的学校几乎都是建议你有GMAT/GRE成绩，也就意味着对你被录取的帮助很大。但是英国会给很多非MBA的专业出来，比如之前提到的金融硕士，会计硕士等等。对于这种课程，往往要的是GRE而不是GMAT，因为GMAT是对管理学设计的。
今天在重大本部的讲座是本次高校巡讲的最后一场。结束之后，如果有时间，我会写一个这次巡讲的评估，总结一下重庆各大高校提出的问题。
