I have been accepted into Booth (with $$), IE (with $$) and IESE (Shortlisted for a scholarship but won't find out until June). I am currently trying to decided where I should go and would love any opinions about the quality of the schools and their ability to open doors for me upon graduation.

My profile is as follows:

I am an Australian Environmental Engineer working on natural resource development projects for 4 years (almost 5 at Matriculation). I was working for a top mining company for 2 years and now work in a team leader role for a major, World Bank funded, hydro-electric project in Laos. I have worked in natural resource development on projects on 4 continents.

I want to pursue an MBA to develop my business evaluation skills to a level where I can work as an analyst that assesses the financial, social and environmental viability of natural resource development projects in either Private Equity, VC or Banking. Ideally long term , I want to work back in Australia, Asia, Latin America or Africa following the MBA.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Nagano

Thanks for inspiring me today.

Vineesh,
Just telling you what I know and think. I am not the expert.

Any of the schools should be able to meet your needs from a raw education and skill development perspective, but you might want to consider the reputation of each school in your targeted post MBA geographic region. Despite its status on the rankings, I am not sure Booth would be your best choice if you don't plan to affiliate with US business after graduation. I am sure a cursory amount of homework would reveal which school has the best network in your targeted region.

"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."
