Hi buddies
I am done with my GMAT and wanted to research B-school programs in terms of tuition fee, cost of living , scholarship, deadlines, programs offered, average gmat score required, average work exp required etc
In short, I needed an excel sheet which gives me a comparison of all these. I know that we can go to each colleges site and take that info but that would require a lot of time and research. Has someone already compiled that list and willing to share ?
Please let me know
Thanks
NG

Hi NG,

I don't think someone else's list will help you, since the b-schools which fit your profile may be different. Still for all those numbers and statistics, you can visit the following websites- Your one stop shop to initial research:
1. https://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandr ... a-rankings Its paid.I paid for the 1 year access and that has helped me a lot.
2. https://rankings.ft.com/businessschoolra ... kings-2012 Free
3. https://www.businessweek.com/bschools/rankings/ Free

>I would begin with finding your preferences for b-school before visiting any of these sites. Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URaNtjGqZc4 (which was a webinar hosted by beatthegmat) and go to the 29th minute. There is a comparison sort of thing, do that for yourself. Choose one from each of the 10 choices, like do you want an urban campus or a college town, etc.
>Then, think what do you want to do post-mba, a vague idea would do for now - Finance, Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Social ventures, etc etc. Then go look for schools which are good in those specializations, how? read on.
> Use the above websites and forums like BTG to see what schools are good for what and how they fit your requirements (not how you fit the schools!). Visit poetsAndquants.com, ton of free useful stuff there.

PFA my excel sheet. This is just for use as a template of course, your own list will have to be compiled by you following the process above. This excel sheet is not exactly copyrighted :). I made another one, once I made my final choice of b-schools (5 schools in total). I can put that up if you want too, at a later stage.

All the very best.
