A Serious Blow to my tryst...

Well not yet!

But this nice article below, will certain send shivers if you are one of the International MBA aspirant. As neatly put by Simba... who is probably a Duke MBA by now, the dynamics of this whole thing is changing.

But im sure, there would be a recline to this tension soon....

Keep walking... "is my motto of life...

My comments on Simba's article...

Hello Simba,

A really nice article. I can imagine the kind of stress you must be going through.

A hectic and consuming course, followed by post MBA worries, one should reconsider the financial implications for sure...

It is actually shattering to know that such things have happened.

However, if you take a global standpoint, the United States (Being here at this point i realize this even more) Is dependent on a global high skilled workforce, there is so much dependency on these, that americans probably don't have an alternative but to find a way out to satisfy (Their own needs). Considering the average american population age which is a lot on the higher side, with such decisions, not only the industry will suffer, but also their "Superpower" status.Anyway, do u think colleges which offer MBA's cheaper and better will be a better choice?Not an easy risk to calculate,

perhaps risk calculation should be taught in schools soon....

All the best,
Abhi...

Sweet 17 B-schools (The Chosen ones by Abhin)

Hello Folks,

Welcome to my first post in the MBA Blogger series....
My Money is surely on one of these schools higher up the better!

1) Stern
New York University... My Dream. Very tough to get in, not that highly ranked, but proximity to New York City gives it the edge it needs. Pretty costly; but who said business education was cheap? :) With a partner look forward to dishing out that buck... around 150,000$

Know why I mention "Dream" over there? You bet!

2) Columbia

Another NYC Favourite. Columbia business school is situated in Harlem, in area called Morningside heights in New York City, This school is ivy league and considered world rank 3, and imaginably very very very tough to get into.


Costing would be approximately same as NYU Stern, though this one is Ivy league, and tougher to get in, so forms my second choice... but anyway One and Two are my hot favourites.

Below are a few other ones.... We will surely go over each and every one in detail... Right from the applications packet, till the alumni.... All the information will be right at this place....

3) Cornell
4) Chicago
5) Dartmouth
6) Yale -
7) Sloan
8) Anderson
9) Kellogg
10) Ross
11) Fuqua
12) Darden
13) Simon
14) Haas
15) Johnson Cornell
16) Broad Michigan
17) Tepper

Look forward to individual profiles soon...! Take care....
Please feel free to comment....

Cheers,
Abhinandan
