Hi camptip,

Thanks for your post.

A few additional options for you to consider:

-Texas A&M Mays. They offer a 16 month full-time MBA so you have the opportunity for a stronger return on investment. Also, they have great recruiting opportunities in the energy industry.

-Rice University Jones. They offer concentrations in both consulting and energy and being in Houston you will have excellent recruiting opportunities in both industries.

-Indiana University Kelley. Recently received the highest scores from alums on MBA Program, Faculty, and Career Center among top 25-50 full-time MBA programs. https://poetsandquants.com/2012/10/06/ho ... schools/2/

Good luck!

Best,
Heidi
