Hi There,

I was looking for a source which does a comparative study of programs for research of the schools.
Is the US News college compass good for this purpose(https://www.usnews.com/usnews/store/coll ... tm?src=wid)?
Are there any other similar sources which could give such information and help in research of the schools.

Regards,

Hi Aztec --

The service you linked to appears to be geared towards undergraduate programs. We've never subscribed to any of the US News products but if you want one you should look at the one on this page instead since it covers MBA programs specifically: https://www.usnews.com/usnews/store/busi ... rc=toplink Again, we have NOT used it, we're just providing the correct link to try and help you out. Note that it only covers the American schools, as far as we know.

A better question though: What type of comparisons are you looking for? There's lots of resources to get info about specific programs - US News has a well-regarded ranking of US MBA programs which you've probably seen https://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandr ... t-business

BusinessWeek's rankings are here and they provide useful information too: https://www.businessweek.com/articles/20 ... ls-ranking (we're not so keen on the actual rank-order that they've got the schools in; reasonable people would disagree with how they've rated them).

FT offers some great tools and their lists are international in scope - we really like this map tool that they have: https://rankings.ft.com/businessschoolrankings/map

While it can definitely be overwhelming to figure out which schools are good targets, there's lots of free resources available - not sure you would need to pay $$ just to get the info you need.

Also, The Economist hosts a virtual MBA Fair - the next one starts on May 28th, it's free, and you don't even have to leave home! It's all online and you can "visit" with different bschools and get to know about them. You can register here: https://registermbafair.whichmba.com/essaysnark (yes that's an affiliate link but EssaySnark doesn't get paid for registrations in any way, we are simply promoting the fair because we feel like it's a good resource for candidates).

You can also ask questions in this forum, just as you've done - we'll try to help out if we can.

Good luck and have fun with it!!!

Just stumbled on this BusinessWeek tool that we had not seen before: The Bschool Comparator: https://tools.businessweek.com/BSchool_Comparator/ (weird word, that)

Haven't played with it much - you can see if it helps you.
