Hi experts,

Is there a significant difference in reputation/brand in these two programs? I would guess that they are both viewed very favorably and well known in California but I'm not sure how they compare nationally. Also, what are there specific strengths as programs?

Both are excellent schools and if you are planning to work in California both will have excellent networks. My bias would be slight (very slight) toward Haas if you are looking to work outside the state. You should think about the field you want to work in and check the course offerings. The schools have different personalities. If possible visit them and see which "feels" the best. You are going to spend a lot of money and two years on your education. It is best if you enjoy the environment.

As for programs, Haas rates slightly higher for entrepreneurship, international and not-for-profit programs. If you are leaning toward green or social responsibility programs check out both schools on beyondgreypinstripes.org.

If you are still deciding which school to apply to, recognize that no one is guaranteed acceptance at either school and you should strongly consider safety schools in addition to these highly competitive ones.

The good news is that you cannot make a bad decision. Either school will give you and outstanding education.

Good luck,

Tani Wolff

"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."
