MBA School Advice - Cornell, MIT, Chicago, got into all 3

by crushready » Sun Nov 24, 2013 11:22 am
Seeking some advice from Finance/Economics/MBA experts please or anyone else who may have an opinion ... Can you kindly focus your response to the 3 schools outlined below only. Which is the better institution for a MBA: MIT, Cornell or Chicago Booth and why? MIT and Cornell seem to be more Engineering focussed, better for undergraduate programmes perhaps more so than for MBAs. Cornell is Ivy League, but I'm uncertain as to whether it is really known for its MBA. Chicago seems popular amongst the finance students, but is not Ivy. LBS/INSEAD are not in the scope of this discussion. Any thoughts which you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Also if I can help anyone with admissions process to the above schools, please do let me know.

Thank you.

Would love to hear about your experience applying to Cornell...

What's your profile (GMAT, gpa, background)

What could you pass along for Cornell especially about your application experience? I'm applying now

Hi crushready,

When choosing which school is the best "fit" for you, you should consider your future career goals. What type of industry are you planning to work in? What do you want the MBA to do for you? Certain programs serve as "feeders" into certain industries/careers, so you should pick the one that best matches what you want to be doing in the future.

Hi

Thanks.

I am GMAT 670, which I know is not like super impressive like some of the scores I have seen here.
With Cornell, I guess it was more about showing my international experience.

Yes, I know each school has its own strengths and need to assess best fit. But can someone please advise me / provide some view / analysis / comparison of what they feel the relative strengths / weaknesses of the above 3 are against one another. Which has a stronger brand for MBA? in say banking / PE is my end goal.

Thank you.
