I am interested in comparing the following programs>
Duke MMS - LBS MiM - LSE MSc Management (2yrs)

Criteria:
1) alumni network - global reach - especially China based consulting work
2) future career prospects - how far the name carries one
3) business fundamentals - theoretical, technical knowledge - hard skills

Career prospects are mainly working in the US/China in MNCs

I don't think you can go wrong with any of those programs!! I'm not as familiar with reach in China, but, the programs you have listed are all top notch with strong alumni networks and global reaches.

Good luck!

Thank you for the help.

One quick sidenote - I am only a little stressed about LSE Management, as it is 2 years long and I am not sure it gives as strong alumni network and career services as the other schools, as LSE is not stricktly a business school and its management department is new. However, it is better known in the world than LBS, but not as much as Duke I'd presume.

But, Duke is in Durham..while London is the center of global business w NY..
Hard choices.

"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."
