MBS vs. Schulich

[kashefian]

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.

The most important thing to consider may well be where you want to live postMBA. Don't underestimate the value of your school's network. This will figure into your career much more prominently down the road, not necessarily with your first job. Might be a good idea to go with the school with the most alumni penetration in your field or geographic location. Also reverse engineer your career and consider what companies you see yourself working for in the future. Which of these two schools has more graduates working at these companies? Which companies recruit at these schools? All important questions to consider.

Thank you very much on your helpful advice.

After examining both countries carefully, I have decided to live in Australia, though I love Schulich.

I have also compared both business schools' Alumni figures on Financial Times. As I am more interested in management consulting, MBS fits better to my standards.

Thank you again and hope everybody finds his / her dream school.
