Hi Everyone

I was actually researching for good b-schools and I got bored looking at same names again and again.....which made me a little curious about the BLUE CHIP B-SCHOOLS, schools which are not known alot globally but have great reputation within that specific region and are good value for money, and I found 3 Blue chip B-Schools which are:-

A: GSB of UNIVERSITY CAPE TOWN SOUTH AFRICA
B: COPEAD of BRAZIL
C: B-school of UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN

So if anyone can throw some light on similar schools in CANADA then please help or if you know good value for money b-schools then also please share....

With Warm Regards
Sanchit

I like this topic:

Insead - France
IMD - Switzerland
HEC - France
ESSEC - France
Esade - Spain
I think University of Toronto as well...

My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

Ha ha i thought Sanchitsharma wanted schools that "are not known alot globally but have great reputation". INSEAD < IMD and ESADE are pretty much in the headlines

Yes absolutely agree on that. These schools are not like Harvard which even people in remote villages have heard about. Even i had never heard about ESADE, but when i started my research, it seemed like the recruiters had heard a lot about it

Did i mention that i had applied to ESADE too!

Hi, I am new around here. I have been doing some checking on University of Otago, New Zealand. The University has double accredition and all that. But there is little about the job/career oppurtunities for the students or their placement records on their site. Is there anyone here with some info on the University of Otago?

P.S.I also wanna know what would the average GMAT score to get into the University of Otago.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
