Hi everyone,
I’m an international student from India with a background in software development engineering (SDE). I’ve been admitted to the MBA programs at both George Washington University (GWU) and the University at Buffalo (UB). Additionally, I’m on the waitlist for the University of Rochester’s MBA program. My goal is to transition into a managerial role in the tech industry, preferably in the U.S.
I’ve done some basic research and have a general understanding of the key differences between these programs, but I want to make a well-informed decision based on feedback from the community. Specifically, I would love advice on what factors I should consider before making my choice.
1. What key differences in placements, alumni networks, and industry connections should I be aware of?
2. Are there advantages to one program over the other for an international student aiming to enter the tech industry?
3. What other factors should I weigh (e.g., ROI, curriculum focus, location, or cost of living)?
If you’ve attended any of these schools or know about these programs, I’d really appreciate your insights.
Thanks for your help!
