It all depends on what you want to do - if MBB is what you're looking for, if you want to go back to current firm, if you want to transition to industry X. There's also an awful lot of rankings out there. I'd definitely say only go to b school if you know what you want to get at it and the place you chose has a decent shot of getting you there. If what you want to get is a two year vacation with sponsorship and then go back to your old form - go for it! Just be honest with yourself beforehand (I did that myself).
A2. Depends on what you want to do. A top undergrad degree still puts you on the radar of a LOT of great firms...and you can still leverage that school's network. I've seen a summa cum laude at a top undergrad with a midtier, non-target grad school degree (where they crushed it, winning fellowships, etc) land interviews and offers at top firms. And that undergrad degree was one reason why.
Trump University
Arizona State University. Bouta learn how to manage all these bikini bitches
I don't think M7 includes any schools in Colombia @Deloitte 1
Wharton is the lowest rank bschool you'd attend? Wow, must be nice.
I'm not sure if HBS is worth it to be honest
Not worth it. All you learn is how to run a company from the 20th century while the real world blasts by you at full speed
BCG2 saying what we're all thinking 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Accenture does not, unfortunately. They pay for a very small select group, I think you have to be marked "phenom" and then they summon you to Chicago and make you pledge your allegiance. So no, they don't lol.
Duke...if you look at schools ranked 10-15.
They still send approx 30-40 people to mbb per year and another 30-40 to the deloittes, pwc, acn, and amazons of the world.
Those are still good odds for landimg a top notcj company when you realize that those schools have approx 250 people in the full time classes
Darden is no where near as fratty as fucking HBS or Wharton.
The "lowest" school you'd go to is going to depend a lot on where you're coming from. I came over from the Army, went to Darden and had a blast, and now I'm at McK. If I'd started at McK, I probably wouldn't have seen the value in going to Darden unless McK was paying for it.
Wharton, agreed. Maybe Insead because international.
Honestly I'd rather try and fail at starting businesses until I get it right. A lot more money in the long run. I know that even if I got an MBA from a great school and had a great paying job I'd be tired of it after 5-10 years. I honestly don't want to work for people.
I'm not getting an MBA until someone else pays for it. I have 10k in student debt total. I'd like to keep it low, the ROI isn't there for me if I have to take out another 100k.
M7=HBS, Stanford, Wharton, Sloan, Booth, Kellogg, Colombia
So if I am up for Partner next year is it too late for me to get MBA since they wouldn't pay for it and it would only make sense if I went to industry?
Wharton or Stanford for me. Nothing else is worth it
LOL this was clearly started as a joke by bcg1-3 and people took it seriously
Nah your culture sucks
How's Kelley Indiana ? Any thoughts ?
Kelley is the place to be for network, fun, learning and value for money. Better for jumping in to industry especially CPG, and for marketing/entrepreneurship. Not to boomerang in consulting though.
