Hi All!

This is Joseph from India.

I have shortlisted the following schools for R2 applications: IESE, Darden, HBS, Tuck & Tepper. I chose these schools considering that they are general management programs, use the case study method primarily (first 3 100% and Tuck 60%) and are highly visited by consulting companies.

I am looking to apply to 2 more US schools which would be considered as safe schools. I am targeting a GMAT of 700 and consider myself to have a strong and diverse profile.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

That's a fantastic question but I can't just recommend schools without a) your having a GMAT score and b) knowing a wholllleeee lot more about you. But that's ok because I've got two awesome resources you should start with:

1) Free, detailed school profiles
2) (Video) Common Questions | Awesome Answers - How to find MBA programs that get you the career you want!

Hello Joseph

You should definitely consider Emory - Goizueta. Nearly 30% of the class is in consulting and this is a pretty high number. The average work experience is slightly more than 4 years. Considering your profile, if you score above 700, Emory should be safe. Also case study is the top teaching methodology here. UT-Austin - McCombs is also a good option for you as 1/5th of the class works in consulting. You can also take a look at Indiana - Kelly and UNC - Kenan Flagler. About 14 - 16% of the class is placed in consulting. Have you considered at Said Business School?

All the best
