Mendoza $ vs Kelley $ [#permalink] New post   14 Apr 2016, 15:12
Help!

I'm visiting both schools soon, but I'm pretty torn. I received about equal scholarship from both (only 10K diff over 2 years between the two with ND higher). Post graduation I am not tied to a particular area, but ideally would like the opportunity to go west, midwest, or potentially overseas working in a CSR function either at a consulting firm or in house at a tech company.

Is the ND brand significantly more powerful outside of MBA recruiters or outside of the midwest?

Hello,

To answer your question, the answer is yes. I recently attended the Mendoza MBA Spring Preview day and the adcom showed us a chart that included the % of alums working in various areas throughout the country. There were just as many alums working on the west coast as there were working in the midwest. There were also a lot of alums working in the north east - more than I would have guessed. It was all very evenly spaced. The network is enormous and the brand is undeniable. What are you looking to study while in b-school?

I would say yes as well, a lot of the power of the ND brand as well stems from the university wide program which can also help open doors. That would be the key separation between the two

Here is a quick analysis of Mendoza vs. Kelley based on the last year's class (Class of 2015)
The assumption of Mendoza being a more portable degree and having a greater geographical span, seems to hold with more Mendoza folks going to Northeast and West, and fewer people sticking around Midwest.

You can't go wrong with either. Hopefully you will get a better feeling after you visit both.

Either way... Go Irish!
