To decide which schools are a good fit for you, you need to think about what you want out of your experience. Issues to consider:
- school location
- career center vs. your goals
- size of class
- reputation
- school's culture
- activities/programs

Then you need to research, reasearch, research to find a school that is a good fit for you!

thanx stacy,

I have looked into this and also tried browsing through the websites of a few top univs. But, i cudnt find out which of the univs fall in line with my career goal direction. I am very much concerned abt the school's reputation. I look only at the top schools (loaction not an issue). I prefer a multi-cultural community in the classroom and the size is not of much concern to me. How do I start searching for specific schools from here?


Plz do help me evaluate my profile also. I am looking at HBS. Where do I stand?
