Hi friends, I'm looking for a school with strong focus on social impact & social entrepreneurship. I'd like to pursue a career in the Non-profit sector & I could use some help in shortlisting the schools. Thanks!

Hello,
A few top schools that come to mind initially are:
Yale SOM
Columbia
Harvard
Duke Fuqua

This is definitely a short list but can help you get started. There are a number of other schools that focus on the non-profit sector (or for-profits that are committed to making positive contributions through social enterprise initiatives) so you can look beyond this list. If you're looking to apply to less competitive schools then think about where you'd like to be located after you complete your MBA since there are likely regionally-focused MBA programs with social enterprise/entrepreneurship strengths nearby. Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Dina

Thanks for the great advice, Dina!

I definitely concur with the list provided by you as they align to my preliminary research. I'll go through them all to find a suitable one for me. Do you think it is a good idea to add,

1) SAID, Oxford
2) STANFORD,
3) KELLOGG SOM

I am also looking for programs that are specifically focused on social impact/non-profit. Net Impact puts out an annual guide that ranks these type of programs called Business as Unusual. I've been using this guide to help create my short list.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
