Would you be more impressed by an MBA from UC Davis, Notre Dame, or Boston University?

Answer 1

Where are you looking to get a job?? Generally it's a good idea to get your MBA relatively close to where you want to work because that way you can take full advantage of job recruitment opportunities. For example, although Stanford offers an incredible MBA program most of their job recruiters hail from the SF Bay Area.

Good luck!

Answer 2

I wouldn't be particularly impressed by any of them. However, I would not laugh at any of them either. All three have very good programs. None are ranked in the top 20 -- but all are ranked.

The three schools are comparable in quality. If those were my only choices, I would choose the school based on location -- so BU would win (the other schools are in the middle of nowhere).

If I were about to apply to those schools, then I would add some others to my list. A few schools that are slightly higher in the rankings -- but much better in reality would be Maryland, Georgetown and Boston College. I'd also apply to a couple of schools in the top 20 -- maybe UNC (on the lower end) and Duke or Berkeley on the higher end)

Answer 3

Notre Dame first. It's high ranked and that alumni network is huge and well known.

Boston U and Davis are ranked about the same. Depending on which side of the country you want to work, I'd pick the more local school.

Answer 4

All are the same to me however, you would make more money with an MBA from any IVY LEAGUE institution than you would the same degree from a community college or online degree.

Answer 5

I've always thought that the "B" in MBA stands for Bullsh*t, so I wouldn't be impressed by any of them.

Answer 6

I'd be impressed by any of them. Business seems so boring to me that anyone who can spend that much time in school learning about it has my admiration.
