Dear Stacy,
I would really appreciate some help with this. I have been admitted to Boston University for the full time MBA with scholarship, and have recently got an admit at Kelley(full time MBA) as well without scholarship. I am very keen on BU as Boston is a thriving city with larger opportunities to network,etc. But Kelley is ranked higher than BU. I am interested in pursuing strategy consulting and/or B2B marketing. I am an international student.
Would really appreciate your insight on this.

Hi ral,
Congrats on being accepted into both programs. Although there are a lot of factors at play here, notably the scholarship from BU, I really recommend you consider your post-graduation goals and how they align with both programs.
As an example, if you know you would like to work for a particular company post-graduation, call the career centers at each program and ask them about the companies that recruit students. Career centers are surprisingly open and honest to these requests.
Second, talk to students at each program. After you do this, you'll have a much better idea for which is the right business school to attend.
Good luck! As always, I'm happy to follow up if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team

Hi Stacy,
I am planning to apply this year for a top MBA program.
My current profile
Male, 24, African
GMAT- 690- I am planning to retake it year though.
B.Sc Accounting-Top African University
3.75 out of 5
M.Sc Accounting and Finance- Top European University
71%
Currently 1.5 year experience at big4(audit associate) and expecting to become a senior associate by June.
Association of Certified Chartered Accountants (UK) exams completed for both the technician and professional level. 20 papers in all; started studying for this during my bachelor’s degree. Should I mention this as an extenuating circumstance affecting my bachelor’s degree GPA?
Average Score at professional level-68%
Others- Awards in school, Chess club member at both university and graduate school. Induction course representative at Big4, part time consultant at my father's medium scale enterprise.
My current preferences are an international environment (large percentage of international students),large class, great opportunities for management consulting and entrepreneurship, great opportunities for career switchers and non-preference for an older class with more work experience. My current preferred list is
Harvard
Wharton
Chicago
Columbia
INSEAD
Northwestern
Ross
Do I have a decent shot at these schools perhaps with a GMAT score of 730? Are there other schools I should consider based on my current criteria? Are there other criteria I should seriously consider?
Thanks
