I'm fortunate enough to have been accepted at both Fuqua and Ross, but before I make the big decision I’m looking for some feedback.
I did extensive research on school culture and companies I wanted to work for. I learned that Kellogg, Fuqua, and Ross - Kelley to a lesser extent - are the marketing powerhouses. I did notice that Fuqua has dropped in the marketing rankings and Unilever recently dropped Fuqua from their list of core schools. Not sure if I should read much into that, but Unilever was one of my target companies. To me it sounds like the major consumer goods companies have a somewhat regional footprint when it comes to recruiting. If my goal is to end up in the mid-atlantic (PA/NJ), what do you think is my best option?
-Go to Fuqua
-Go to Ross
-Wait until next year and apply to Kellogg (or Wharton)
-Don’t go to B School, ROI for Marketing/Brand Management isn’t worth it
Thanks!
