Hi,
I have been admitted to the Wharton, Booth, and Kellogg Executive MBA programs and would appreciate if I could get some feedback.
I work for our family business as the president and plan to do so after graduating. I'm pursuing my EMBA for the following reasons:
- to learn from other successful executives on how they tackle opportunities and how other businesses operate
- to have an academic refresh; learn financial and entrepreneurship skills. (My undergrad is engineering)
- we plan to diversify into other businesses and this knowledge will help me advise our family
These are the strengths that I see after doing some research and being able to sit in a class of each school.
Wharton:
- The brand, it definitely resonates to a lot of people.
- Diversity in the cohort; executives with different work backgrounds.
- A lot of elective course options.
- The last couple of years they have put a lot of emphasis on entrepreneurship and family business.
- My main concern is that I have to connect flights each time I go to school.
Booth:
- Strong analytical/data driven environment.
- Capstone experience course in global new venture challenge
- Campus being in downtown Chicago makes it great for when my family joins me for the weekend.
- Direct flight to Chicago from where I live.
Kellogg:
- General management oriented which could help me overall instead of being more specific.
- Collaborative environment which might translate to stronger networking.
- Direct flight to Chicago from where I live.
I would appreciate your school recommendations based on my experience and what I'm looking for.
Thanks
