Stacy,
If a candidate mentions in his 'why MBA in XXX institute' essay, that one of the reason he would like to join XXX MBA is XXX professor over there has a research interest in a particular field that is of interest to the candidate; will that make his application strong?
This is a common strategy for MS/PhD admissions because MS/PhD is more research oriented and students over the course are expected to work with the professors either as TA/RA or on their thesis/dissertation.
But, do you think specifying the above reason for MBA adimissions, would make adcom think that the candidate is more interested in research and should be applying for PhD instead?
What do you think would be the adcom views on the above???
