Hi and thanks for your note. As I explain in a sticky post in this forum (the one that says, "Please do not ask this question") I don't really recommend specific schools.

What I can do is help you think through whether the programs that you are applying to are really the right programs for you; and, based on your profile, I think the programs that you mention sound like reasonable fits.

One thing to think about when applying to schools out of the top ten or so, especially if you want to go into entrepeneurship, is the financial angle. An MBA can be very very expensive and servicing that debt can be difficult if you are not making money at a start-up.

So...my suggestions would be as follows:

- Go through my post on Criteria for Choosing a Business School

- Think about costs and cash flow after your degree

- Keep me in the loop about your thinking.
