Can anyone help me decide where to apply? The more research I do, the more confused I am about where I want to go.
I am currently in marketing and want to advance my career, by gaining more general management skills and international experience. I hopefully want to go somewhere that has a semester exchange program or something longer than just a 2-week trip. I'm not yet decided if I want to work abroad or in the US after my mba, but would like school with a top reputation so my options are open for either. I'm looking for something that's not too small or in a mostly rural area, and am totally unfamilar living in a cold environment (I live in AZ) although not totally opposed to it. I do want to go somewhere with diverse students and teaching methods, lots of networking events, and a good alumni network.
I am single and will not be bringing any family, so it really is just up to me and where I can get in. I think I have a decent shot at an elite school, but want to put some safetys in the mix. I'm currently looking at Kellogg (for mktg) and Stanford, but need some others to look into that may be a good fit. Any suggestions? How did you choose where to apply?
