SMith MBA Vs Vanderbilt MBA Post Tue Apr 03, 2012 3:46 am
Hi All,

I have been admitted to Robert H SMith and Vanderbilt University's Full Time MBA starting in Fall, 2012. I have received a scholarship worth $40000 from Owen(Vanderbilt Univ) and $47000 from Smith MBA(Univ Of Maryland). I have work experience of around 5 years in IT in India. Which would be a better option for me. I am more inclined towards Vanderbilt MBA but someone told me that no IT companies visit the campus. I want to pursue my MBA in IT strategy and Consulting. I have also heard that Smith MBA hs good reputation in IT. But Smith's employment statistics doesn't say much about the placements stats for internationals. So, kindly help me in choosing the right school to pursue my MBA..

You are wise to consider which school has a better reputation in your target industry. While i would normally recommend you attend the best school, it's always debatable which one is really better. For you, access to and expertise in a particular discipline or industry can indeed make that a better school for you. I would reach out to the career services office in each school and have a frank discussion about recruiting in your field.
