Confused!!

by moneyman » Sat Dec 15, 2007 9:27 pm
I have been accepted by Pepperdine University(Graziadio) for the full-time MBA program and I have finished the interview session with the University of Pittsburgh(Katz B School) and will get a decision in a couple of weeks.I am very confused about choosing the right school.Please give me some information about these two schools and suggest which one is better.Both the schools are good at Finance which is my area of interest.Pepperdine charges $20000 more than katz for the full-time MBA program.I want to get into a school which would have the right learning atmosphere and where I get a chance to get placed in top finance companies.

PLease help me Amy!!

Hi Maxx,

Congratulations on your acceptances! You have a nice problem to have.

I'm assuming you chose both schools for a reason, and you thought either might serve your professional goals. Often selecting a school at this point is more about some of the personal factors - which program felt more comfortable to you? Were the students particularly friendly at one program or the other? You may want to revisit the sticky thread on school selection, and reach out to some current students at both programs to ask them what they think about the aspects that are important to you.

Good luck!
