I have been accepted into Booth (with $$), IE (with $$) and IESE (Shortlisted for a scholarship but won't find out until June). I am currently trying to decided where I should go and would love any opinions about the quality of the schools and their ability to open doors for me upon graduation.
My profile is as follows:
I am an Australian Environmental Engineer working on natural resource development projects for 4 years (almost 5 at Matriculation). I was working for a top mining company for 2 years and now work in a team leader role for a major, World Bank funded, hydro-electric project in Laos. I have worked in natural resource development on projects on 4 continents.
I want to pursue an MBA to develop my business evaluation skills to a level where I can work as an analyst that assesses the financial, social and environmental viability of natural resource development projects in either Private Equity, VC or Banking. Ideally long term , I want to work back in Australia, Asia, Latin America or Africa following the MBA.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Nagano

Any of the schools should be able to meet your needs from a raw education and skill development perspective, but you might want to consider the reputation of each school in your targeted post MBA geographic region. Despite its status on the rankings, I am not sure Booth would be your best choice if you don't plan to affiliate with US business after graduation. I am sure a cursory amount of homework would reveal which school has the best network in your targeted region.
