Emory ($$$) vs ISB [#permalink]
Dear jjindal,

Congrats for being accepted by all those programs. it shows how strong you are. :)

I will try to throw my 2 cents. I will go for US-path for international experience. It is unparalleled experience for me to leave my country and study in another country. You may one return your country with international exposure. Also, I agree with abut the heavy academic nature of ISB which I do not prefer in business study. Big mba schools depends on experiential learning in different forms.

Emory locates in big city and have some connections with MBB such as Bain office in Atlanta but it all depends on you. My big concern is that you may have applied to many schools. You may be accepted in one school highr than Emory. What would you do then, if you will pay deposit to Emory?

Although I like Kelley, it does not have MBB strong presence. Kelley's main consulting recruiter are Accenture and Deloitte. This info I know from my friends there and the consulting academy Supervisor.

Good luck

ISB sounds enticing as long as you are not looking for international experience. So you are kind of trading off here safety/security vs. International experience.

Your concerns about the H1B are valid - nobody knows how it is going to go next few years and knowing how it works, things may get worse before they get better so there may be a situation that you should consider - returning after 3 years (2 at school + 1 year at OPT). How much will it be as a setback with a degree from Kelley/Goziueta vs. ISB?

Going with Emory. I feel experience should be a big factor in deciding a MBA course. ISB wouldn't provide me that, plus Emory is giving a pretty sweet deal so I don't have much to lose if something goes wrong. Besides, I am trying to higher colleges in round 2 so might still have a shot at a better college than Emory.

For what it's worth, this is kind of how I zeroed down to this choice : https://zenpencils.com/comic/60-robert-f ... not-taken/


Thank you everyone for the valuable inputs. :)
