Hi Paul,
I'm interested in a career switch from consulting to investment research / investment management and was admitted to and deciding between the following MBA programs: Wisconsin ASAP, CMU (Tepper), and Indiana (Kelley). Wisconsin MBA’s Applied Security Analysis Program (ASAP) has a strong alumni base in investment management of 500+, 2nd yr. curriculum of managing a $62MM fund, it's CFA partner curriculum focus, and strong placement results in investment management. Tepper and Kelley are both strong overall MBA programs and may have the better overall reputation among recruiters than Wisconsin. Tepper has a new Investment Strategy track, 100+ alumni in asset mgmt., and a small $62k student club fund, while Kelley has their Investment Management Academy, 300+ alumni in IM, and a couple courses to manage a $700k fund and a $100k fund. While Tepper is strong in computer sci./ops/consulting/other areas of finance (I-banking, S&T, Quant. Finance) and Kelley is strong in marketing/corporate finance, how do you think they stack up against Wisconsin’s ASAP for investment management? I also have an assistantship from Wisconsin which has low tuition to start, so there's a siginificant cost difference as well.
Thanks
