Greetings Lisa,

I'm looking for US schools that have a strong general management curriculum and are teaching with the case-method.

I only know of HBS, which is a bit of a stretch for me. Do you know of other top schools that fit the description?

A quick summary of my stats:
GMAT: 690
GPA: 3.5 (Computer Science)
Experience: 4 years with various initiatives and a couple of promotions.
Activities: Decent activity through college and after graduation.

Your help is very appreciated :)

Dear Arsene,

Most US business schools employ the case method as part of their teaching style. How much it is used does vary from school to school, but it is heavily used in strategy and organizational behavior classes. Likewise, most US business schools have a strong general management curriculum by virtue of the core curriculum being well-rounded. You might run a query on mba.com to search for schools that report general management as a common focus although I fear you will pull a lengthy list. Based on your profile, you could filter the search by GMAT average in the 650-700 range as these would be schools where your GMAT is competitive.

Best of luck,
Lisa
