I’m in between Boston College and Northeastern University for my MBA. I’m leaning towards BC, but I'd love to hear about people’s experiences at either school! Can you tell me about the difficulty level, commuting experience, campus culture, and any leadership opportunities you had? I was invited to join the top women in business fellowship at BC and was wondering if you have any insights on that. I also got a scholarship from Northeastern called the Achievers award. Please let me know!!!

BC..what kind of consulting?

Where do you want to be based post-MBA? Were there any other schools in the mix? This might be an unpopular opinion, but depending on your plans to apply the MBA, and the ultimate cost of getting it, not being in a top 10 school program will severely limit the upward impact. But if you’re going to get the credential for a minimal investment and you want to stay in the Boston metro, then my opinion might be totally irrelevant.

Great question

I agree with EM 1s take on the current state of consulting recruitment . If you are set consulting, I would apply to t15 or even t25 schools as they are consulting targets. Make sure to look at career reports for each ftmba

Agree with EM1 and A1 above. Try to apply t25 and make decision based off the schools employment report.

I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university.

Does great depth and specialization outweigh the value of a highly respected generalist degree?
