Thunderbird v/s Syracuse

by abhishingwekar » Wed Apr 01, 2009 6:18 am
Hi Stacy,

I got an admit in Thunderbird as well as Syracuse University.

Can you please guide me as to, which is a better university for MBA ?

My main concern is placement and package, in that order.

My career intrest is working in good consulting companies.

Please do advice.

Regards,
Abhishek

Dear Abhishek,

Congratulations on your admission to 2 great schools! While you will get a great education from either, there are differences between the schools in terms of culture, electives, and other resources. I think it is helpful to approach this decision in a systematic manner making sure you are picking the program that is the best fit. In order to do that, you need to make a list of what is important to you in a program (i.e., curriculum, industry connections/placement success, alumni network, culture, location, etc.). Then you will want to prioritize the list and measure each program against your list. Hopefully, one will show itself to be the better match for you.

Good luck at business school,
Lisa

Hi Stacy,

Thanks for the advice, I researched a lot and found out a lot of stuff

about both Universities but alumnus and Industry conncetion as a fact are

not mentioned anywhere in their websites (I don't blame them, being in

such a market...), so I needed to know about these things......

Hope you can help......as these are very important factors.....

Regards,
Abhishek
