Mays Vs Mccombs

by prachich1987 » Thu Sep 01, 2011 8:19 am
Hi,

I am about to start my application procedure.
My counsllor told me that I should choose either Mays or Mccombs but not both.
I am not much convinced with the reasoning provided by her.
Please advise
1) which one is better? 2) my realistic chances of getting into these schools 3) chances of getting scholarships in these schools

My brief profile : 24/Indian female/700/B.tech (chemical)-62%/avg extra curricular
I want to come back to India after completing my MBA.
Thanks!
Prachi

Hi,

McCombs is ranked higher than Mays so one could draw from that information that McCombs is the stronger or better program. I'm not quite sure why you would only apply to one and not the other. It's best to apply to a range of bschool programs targeting 4-6 school. This is the best way to maximize your chance of success.

It's a bit difficult for me to give you odds on admission, but I can tell you that you fall into a very large applicant pool and that you need to find ways to stand out in order to get in.

Regards,

Stacey
