It's definitely an option and your chances for scholarships go up the lower you go in rankings. But, at the end of the day, you're buying a brand. You can apply to that range, but what I would say is go to the best darn school you can get into!

Hi,

Given my academic background and relevant work experience, I wonder how good of an idea would it be if I choose to take one of the following concentrations as my major. Obviously I am concerned about future job prospects and I know that a major in Operations mgmt will perhaps be most beneficial. So the second question would be if my past credentials can really complement my job prospects post MBA..?

1. Computers and Information Systems
2. Health Sciences/Care Management
3. Operations Management - Services

Specializations can be a good idea but the thing to consider is - do you want to do any of those things? This is a big investment. Don't just pick a specialization because you think it's the logical choice. Be passionate about it too!

Hi,

Actually I am interested in General Mgmt and I know that these three are not the best of b-schools, but given a choice, which one should I go for among SUNY Buffalo/Binghamton/Alabany. My priorities will be:

1. Post grad job prospects (esp. in the West)
2. Scholarships/grants for Intl applicants (Indian)

Hi,

I am also interested in Accelerated/1 year MBA programs mainly due to lower costs involved, in comparison to the traditional Full-time option. But I have a few concerns:

1. Do they have similar job prospects as the traditional Full-time program?
2. Will I be able to do an internship while pursuing the course?
3. Will I be able to work part time simultaneously in order to support my living expenses?

1) No
2) Maybe - but an in-year one only
3) Probably not and very ill-advised
