SCM/Operations programs in united states

I've applied to Smeal in R1.

For R2 I am considering following schools for SCM :
1>Thunderbird
2>Carey
3>Broad

How do these schools fare with respect to each other and with respect to Smeal for the SCM curriculum?

How is SCM/operations at Kelley {I know its marketing dominated school}?

hey congrats on the great score !!

BTW u wrote above that u scored a dismal 670 on gmat prep-1 !!! Most of us start with gmat prep scores of 550 !! So a 670 was a great start leading to this mammoth score. Good luck with the apps.

Another saddening case. why dont they just shut these centers in every small nook and corner. People better travel to bigger cities and take the test than risk taking in smaller wretched centers and be screwd later.

BTW wat was the testing center issue ? which town ?

Figured this out. For some reason, Sunandita's post got caught by our spam filter, and it wouldn't allow the post to publish. Sunandita's post wasn't spam, so I let it publish manually, and it should be viewable by you now. Not sure what's up with the spam filter, will investigate. Thanks! Eric, fu...
