Dear Following Friends,

I'm quite new to the board; however, I really appreciate all the comments and complaints that you guys gave to every post.

I'm currently a last year student of High School from Thailand. I got accepted into some universities, but I can't decide which is the best option. Please help! These are all undergraduate programs; I wonder which school will best help boost my chance of getting into TOP Business School later on.

1. Illinois Wesleyan University, IL, USA
- 50-percent scholarship ( $18,000 )

2. Hult International Business School, London, UK
- 40-percent Scholarship (6,900 Pounds)

3. HKUST
- without scholarship

4. Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, NL
-without scholarship

and I am waiting for the admission results from these schools

5. U of North Carolina

6. U of Toronto, Canada

7. U of British Columbia, Canada

8. NYU

9. U of Penn

10. Northwestern University


Finance is also one main factor rather than ranking.

Cheapness Ranking - from the cheapest to the most expensive
HKUST > RSM > Hult IBS & Illinois > UNC & Canadian Schools > All US Universities

Thank you for your precious time reading.

Ignore the price and focus on quality. HKUST is certainly the best. Ignore Hult.

Thanks for a prompt reply. I kind of actually already narrow my choice down to RSM & HKUST, and wait for the results of other American universities. I want to know why do you consider HKUST over RSM? I plan to pursue an MBA in either TOP school in USA or UK. Still, HKUST a better choice?

I think it depends on your career plans. HKUST is higher in most MBA rankings. HK is a more vibrant market than The Netherlands. If you want to build a career in Thailand, both the education and the network will be more useful at HKUST.
