Thanks @gentlejack for the reply. As you aptly mentioned, I am looking for the same answers and I am curios what current students or people with more insights than me have to say about all these schools as per tech opportunities are concerned. I want to work in the tech industry in the short term and in the longer term, I see myself as an Entrepreneur (Again in the tech industry).
I have looked into the curriculum and it looks like Notre Dame is the least tech oriented. But on the other hand, Business week or Notre Dame itself has listed 20% of the placements in the tech industry. So due to this conflicting data, I am a bit confused.
I would really appreciate more inputs and insights.
Thanks once again.
Congratulations on getting into Foster,Notre Dame and Carlson. Unless you get a full ride from Carlson your choice should be between Foster and Mendoza. Mendoza definitely has a better brand value than Foster. But looking at your post-mba goals in the technology sector, Foster is a better choice because of its proximity to DC. The cost of living will also be higher if you attend Mendoza. The courses at both Mendoza and Foster are good but Mendoza may be slightly better in terms of technology. Taking into account the brand value, scholarship and good number of people getting into technology industry, i would suggest you to go with Mendoza.
Good Luck!
