I'm planning to apply for MBA 2013 in the top 20-30 in the US. I have a work experience of 4.5 years in IT and a GMAT score of 720.
I want to switch to the field of management consulting or strategic consulting, and I need to decide which programs I want to apply to.
Any suggestions regarding suitable MBA programs for consulting and IT?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi,

Thanks for your post. Given your interest in consulting you should look at schools like Emory, Indiana, USC and Georgetown. I suggest looking at the career services hiring statistics for each program to see exactly how many graduates go into consulting and which companies tend to do the most hiring.

Consulting is one of those areas that almost any solid bschool can prepare one for. I suggest thinking about other criteria like location and class size to help you put together your list.

Best,

Stacey

"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."
