Sometimes there are decisions in life you don't want to complain about: Whether to vacation in the Bahamas or the Florida Keys, for example, or whether to buy a Mercedes or a Lexus.
Sure, life could be worse. But that doesn't make the decision any less anxiety-inducing.
有時候生活中做出的一些決定是不能抱怨的：例如假期旅游是去巴哈馬還是弗羅里達群島，或者買車是買奔馳愛是雷克薩斯。
生活不盡人意，但是做出決定同樣讓人憂慮。
Students who get into the top MBA programs in the world find themselves in a similar predicament. Do they want to rub shoulders with Wall Street types at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School or make international connections over croissants at France's INSEAD Business School?
在世界頂尖的美國MBA專業的學生會發現自己處于相似的困境。他們是想和和賓西法尼亞大學沃頓商學院的學生相較量還是和國際著名的法國的歐洲工商管理學院聯盟?
The top MBA programs on either side of the Atlantic differ in various ways, experts say. And prospective students should consider a variety of factors before they choose a top U.S. MBA program or an equallywell-regarded program in Europe or beyond.
專家說大西洋兩岸的頂尖MBA專業在很多地方不一樣，申請人在決定是去美國頂尖MBA院校還是同等實力的歐洲院校的時候要考慮很多因素。
The first thing students should consider when choosing between a top-tier U.S. or non-U.S. MBA program are the academic components, says Rachel Beck, a senior consultant at mbaMission, an MBA admissions consulting firm. While some programs have a general focus, others are known for their specialties. She suggests prospective students go through course catalogs to make sure they find a roster of classes of interest.
Students should also think about what industry they would like to be in, and whether their school has connections to that field.
一家資訊公司的一位資深MBA的顧問Rachel Beck說，學生在選擇美國MBA院校和其他國家MBA院校的時候，首先要考慮的事情就是專業內容。一般的專業都會有重點偏好，以及一些特色的內容。她建議學生可以首先瀏覽課程的目錄然后找出自己感興趣的課程花名冊。
學生還要考慮自己以后要從事哪個行業，申請的學校時候與該領域有聯系。
Applicants drawn to business innovation and startup culture may be good fits for the graduate business programs at schools such as Stanford University, University of California—Berkeley and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, says Matt Symonds, co-director of the MBA admissions consulting firm Fortuna Admissions.
At the same time, students hoping to enter careers in private equity may want to choose a program at places like Wharton, Columbia University or University of Chicago.
對新興網絡公司文化以及商業創新的申請人來說，一些適合研究生申請的院校例如斯坦福大學，加州大學伯克利分校和麻省理工學院。同時，想要進入私人企業的學生更適合申請像沃頓商學院，哥倫比亞大學或者芝加哥大學這些學校。
Shane Clancy, a Canadian and Irish citizen who got into both London Business School and a top U.S. MBA program, says his goals for after graduating played a large role in deciding to head to London.
Clancy was interested in pursuing senior roles in energy finance, and thought London would be an ideal market for exploring new professional opportunities. Later, the plan changed, and he returned to Washington, D.C. to work as an associate investment officer with the International Finance Corporation – working in a country with relatively few of his classmates.
除此之外，畢業后想去工作的地方同樣是影響MBA的一個因素。
Shane Clancy同時有加拿大和愛爾蘭的國籍，他同時被倫敦商學院和一所美國頂尖MBA院校錄取，他說自己畢業以后的目標讓他決定去倫敦。
Clancy對金融工程的高級管理感興趣，他認為倫敦是發展職業規劃的理想市場。隨后計改變然后他回到華盛頓，在國際金融企業工作，同時很少有來自同一個國家的同學。
發生Clancy and MBA experts say people who want to work in the U.S. should pursue their MBA in the U.S.
"U.S. MBA programs are much better understood and better known in the U.S. than Western European programs are," Clancy says. "If you know without a doubt that you want to live and work in Chicago, it probably makes sense to consider going to the University of Chicago."
Clancy和MBA的專家都認為想在美國工作的人應該到美國讀MBA學位。Clancy說：“美國MBA的課程比西歐國家的課程簡單并且更容易理解，而且知名度也更大。如果你毫無疑問要住在并在芝加哥工作，到芝加哥大學求學就說得通了。”
Aside from job prospects, students should also consider the demographics of their peers, experts say. Non-U.S. MBA programs likely have more of an international student body, says Symonds with Fortuna Admissions.
專家說，除了工作前景，學生還會考慮同伴們的人口特征。美國以外的MBA專業有更多的全國各地的留學生。
