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.
有时候生活中做出的一些决定是不能抱怨的：例如假期旅游是去巴哈马还是弗罗里达群岛，或者买车是买奔驰爱是雷克萨斯。
生活不尽人意，但是做出决定同样让人忧虑。
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?
在世界顶尖的美国MBA专业的学生会发现自己处于相似的困境。他们是想和和宾西法尼亚大学沃顿商学院的学生相较量还是和国际著名的法国的欧洲工商管理学院联盟?
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.
专家说大西洋两岸的顶尖MBA专业在很多地方不一样，申请人在决定是去美国顶尖MBA院校还是同等实力的欧洲院校的时候要考虑很多因素。
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.
一家资讯公司的一位资深MBA的顾问Rachel Beck说，学生在选择美国MBA院校和其他国家MBA院校的时候，首先要考虑的事情就是专业内容。一般的专业都会有重点偏好，以及一些特色的内容。她建议学生可以首先浏览课程的目录然后找出自己感兴趣的课程花名册。
学生还要考虑自己以后要从事哪个行业，申请的学校时候与该领域有联系。
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.
对新兴网络公司文化以及商业创新的申请人来说，一些适合研究生申请的院校例如斯坦福大学，加州大学伯克利分校和麻省理工学院。同时，想要进入私人企业的学生更适合申请像沃顿商学院，哥伦比亚大学或者芝加哥大学这些学校。
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，毕业后想去工作的地方同样是影响MBA的一个因素。
Shane Clancy同时有加拿大和爱尔兰的国籍，他同时被伦敦商学院和一所美国顶尖MBA院校录取，他说自己毕业以后的目标让他决定去伦敦。
Clancy对金融工程的高级管理感兴趣，他认为伦敦是发展职业规划的理想市场。随后计改变然后他回到华盛顿，在国际金融企业工作，同时很少有来自同一个国家的同学。
发生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的专家都认为想在美国工作的人应该到美国读MBA学位。Clancy说：“美国MBA的课程比西欧国家的课程简单并且更容易理解，而且知名度也更大。如果你毫无疑问要住在并在芝加哥工作，到芝加哥大学求学就说得通了。”
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.
专家说，除了工作前景，学生还会考虑同伴们的人口特征。美国以外的MBA专业有更多的全国各地的留学生。
