I’m in process for the green card and will likely get it next year. Should I wait to apply for MBA next year when the green card is approved? Does it make difference in success rate if I apply as a foreign citizen (Chinese) vs. a green card holder?

Much easier to get accepted to top programs as a permanent resident (or with expectation that green card will come through before program start). This is especially true for those from over-represented countries like India and China.

Recruiting is MUCH easier if you don't need to be sponsored. Since your ability to find work coming out of an MBA program is considered as part of the admissions process, your status is important.

Thank you!!

Depends if you are going in state. Then you can get a resident rate vs non resident rate

I heard someone make a bold statement that contributing to a traditional 401k versus a Roth 401k were the exact same assuming the same tax rate. I ran the numbers and to my surprise they were not wrong (even considering the earnings). Can anyone explain why a Roth would ever make sense given that income will likely be lower and therefore lower tax rate in retirement?
