MBA Tour - Spotlight Survey
Tuesday, September 14, 2010
Which MBA?
With the MBA tour just round the corner, and deadlines fast approaching, i have really got to get a handle on things. I have to make the most of the MBA tour and use the event to learn more about the schools that i've shortlisted, and hopefully end up with an even shorter list :P
My 3 primary criteria for the MBA program:
1) Class Profile: Diverse and rich with experience
2) Professors: An eccentric and approachable assortment who make it all worth it
3) International Recognition: I don't want to be in a sitation where, when asked which school i got my MBA from, I have to repeat the name of my school, explain where it is located and why I chose it and ....
"I did my MBA from XYZ school" should be able to elicit any of the following responses:
With that in mind, here's the list of schools that i intend to meet up @ The MBA Tour in Bangalore:
A couple of people have come up to me and asked me to share my opinion on Hult Business School, which has been on a marketing rampage over the last 15 months... my opinion? Let me put it this way... I just received an email from Hult ... deleted it without opening.
Over & Out!

MBA Tour - Spotlight Survey
Logged in to my MBA Tour account. Results of the spotlight survey were out, and ... well, i was sorta dissappointed to be honest. How I ended up with Kelley as the only school that matched my top 5 preferences, I'll never know. Oh well, I guess something is better than nothing.
As for the other schools, I was sorta getting interested in NYU coz of Prof. Damodaran, but i've been getting the feeling that the people at the school are too uptight. So, that's been cast aside.
btw, you might want to check out this pretty handy CR Overview doc prepared by GMAT Club's whiplash2411 .. i like the dude's marketing technique - a title that demands attention :)

MBA Tour
The MBA Tour is coming to India, woohoo. I'll be attending the event at Bangalore, on the 19th. I've got barely two weeks to get all set. I have my resume ready, but need to work on my elavator pitch. All i can think of is "Hi, my name is ........ I've got a few questions about XYZ, would you mind answering them...". As for what questions I am going to ask, I haven't got a clue. All I know is that I wont be asking about average GMAT score or app deadlines, or where the school is located. Seriously, I get so pissed off when people start off by saying their GMAT score and asking if that is enough to get admitted. Christ!
The reason I had decided to go down to Bangalore is coz the tour runs the whole day, from 9 AM to 6 PM. However, I was shocked to learn that while registration et al opens at 9 AM, the actual fair i.e.meeting the univeristy reps at the booths will only take place from 3 PM - 5PM - 2 hours!! That's it!!?? I've attended a couple of MBA fairs in India before, and believe me, if the booths are only open for 2 hours, it would be considered a victory if one could wriggle one's self through the crowd and grab a brochure :(
