advice please - oxford or ross mba (accepted at both)

by gzeidan » Mon Apr 18, 2011 4:50 am

Hello, I have been accepted at both Oxford and Ross:UniMich. However, I am really in a dilemma about which to attend. I am a British national currently working in IB in the middle east. Post mba I would like to either continue in banking or move into consulting. Location is not an issue as I am willing to work in the US or the UK depending on where I study.

Any advice would be greatly appreciatied (particularly from ppl who have attended these programmes)

Thanks

The most important issue:

Have you visited both schools and interacted with current students? If so, you should go to the institution where you fit in the best. My guess is that one will stand above the others.

Like the students at both schools?

Then go to Oxford. Here are the reasons why:

(1) It's closer to your current home which is nice for preserving your networks
(2) Oxford Said has a better ranking in the FT: https://rankings.ft.com/businessschoolra ... a-rankings
(3) Oxford has better international brand recognition than Ross. It pays dividends.
