Somebody punch me in the face if this is just the dumbest thing you think you have every heard:
I am in puppy love with a top 10-15 MBA program and think its the greatest thing in the world.
Given the options, would anybody choose an MBA program they think is great that has an average ranking of #12+/- over a program with unanimous higher ranking/prestige?
It seems like most people just go to the highest ranked one they get into? Anybody ever not done this?
Note* I said punch me in the face, don't kick me in the nuts.
Go with the place you really like, provided you're 100% confident it gives you the exit opps you want! At the end of the day you'll only enjoy it if it gets you where you want to be.
So if #12 is IB target and you want IB, go for it. If you want VC and the "higher MBA" is Stanford/Harvard, go with Stanford/Harvard.
Check out the recruiters who recruit there and the number of students they hire. Also, check out the network for that particular school in your chosen field. If you are comfortable with the possiblity of you ending up where you want to go, go to that school and have fun!
Go to the BEST school you possibly can.
go to the best place you can get into, but if you really love another place, then make absolutely sure your school is a target recruiting school for the jobs you want (ibanking or otherwise)
Also, bear in mind that before you are a student there, these MBA programs are recruiting you and want the best students they can get. (On top of that, the admissions people at the MBAs often get paid on commission). So of course they are going to be really nice and you will think everything is great at their school.
Once they get your money, there's a good chance they won't be as nice and you won't be in "puppy love" anymore.
Just do your homework to make sure you will get where you want in the end.
I was unaware of the commission information, but recognize that working in Admissions is, above all else, a sales job.
How does the commission structure work for them? Standard amount for regular admits and a bonus for GS/MS or M/B/B?
(though I would actually like to know, that last part was meant to be light-hearted).
