I have offers from Melbourne business school (Australia) and Schulich Business School (Canada). Regarding reputation, networking, future career options and job placements and average salary, which school do you recommend? Any advice is appreciated.

Dear kashefian,

Congratulations on your offers! In deciding where to go, my advice is for the candidate to make list of what is most important to him/her in a program and then prioritize the list. Each candidate is different in what he/she seeks, expects and needs from an MBA program, so your list might not look or be prioritized the same as someone else's list. You can then evaluate your two options against your list to see if one is a better match. Based on your post, you already have a few variables on your list--keep in mind that you will want to be a bit more specific though on some. For example, geography does play a role in that most schools place predominantly in their region. Thus you need to factor in where you want to be after business school as Canada and Australia are on different sides of the world.

Good luck,
Lisa

Dear Lisa,

Thank you very much on your helpful advice. As a matter of fact, I am doing the same thing. An because geographically I am more inclined towards Australia, Melbourne suites me better.

Moreover, I devised a method to make the final decision. I listed all the important parameters, Weighted them based on their respective priority / importance, gave them a score between 1 to 5 each and Final calculated a weighted score.

Your advice confirms that my decision has been made wisely. I really appreciate your help Lisa.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
