Hi Barron,

To narrow down your choices, it is important also to identify your post graduation plans. Do you want to go into finance, marketing, investment banking, entrepreneurship, etc? This is the main factor that will determine the right school for you.

I would recommend looking at a publications like US News and Word Report's annual MBA guide. It will break schools out by discipline, tell you about MBA programs that are good values, let you know which programs are under two years, etc.

I think you will get the most value out of reviewing such a guide yourself, so that you are aware of all of your options and weigh what is most important to you as you create your list of target schools.

Best wishes,

Tatiana
