I am currently researching on the top 20 colleges for MBA in International Business or MBA in Global Management. However i see that the list is varied in terms of rankings. For example: Darla Moore School of Business (1), Thunderbird School of Management (3) and USC Marshall School of Business (10) come in the top 5/ 10 list besides the usual Harvard (8), Stanford (9), Wharton (2), NYU Stern (6), Haas (7), Ross (4) and Columbia (5). I would like some insight into whether it would be better to apply for the traditional / recognizable branded B-school over the other three colleges which are not even in the top 20 / 50 list in terms of overall ranking but fare much better as the top colleges specific to MBA in International Business or MBA in Global Management. Secondly, in terms of job prospects and ROI, if i do take up the stated MBA course in either one of the three lesser known B-schools will they have good job prospects? I would also like to shout out to any of the Alumni or current students pursuing MBA in International Business or MBA in Global Management in Darla Moore School of Business, Thunderbird School of Management or USC Marshall School of Busineess to please share their thoughful comments and experience as well. In addition, any suggestions about other schools for MBA in International Business or MBA in Global Management would be highly appreciated.

Hi Vikhyath,
The process of applying to (and ultimately attending) Business Schools requires a significant investment of time, money and energy on your part, so you really have to make sure that the Schools you plan to apply to 'match up' with your career goals. There are a variety of questions that YOU have to answer about what you want out of an MBA and the parameters that are important:
1) Is there a particular company that you want to work for or industry that you want to work in? Certain degrees are more appropriate than others if you have a specific career goal.
2) What do you want your MBA to do for you?
3) Do you want to go to School full-time or part-time?
4) Are you willing to relocate? Are you comfortable with working through a program that is primarily online?
5) Are you going to be applying for scholarships?
Etc.
Once you've determined what type of Program you want to attend (as well as the other variables involved), then you can start to research and narrow down the possibilities.

When looking at the rankings, keep in mind the methodology. U.S. News (2016) specialty rankings are based on input from business school deans and directors. Bloomberg (2012) has rankings based on student/alumni perception, as does Financial Times (2012). Note, as you may have found by now, Thunderbird no longer offers an MBA, but instead a Masters.
Also look into the following networks:
Partnership in International Management https://www.pimnetwork.org
Centers for International Business Education and Research https://ciberweb.msu.edu
Global Business School Network https://www.gbsnonline.org
Global Network for Advanced Management https://advancedmanagement.net
Nearly every major business school has IB/GM focused courses, a course (often combined with a consulting project) which includes a week abroad, and a semester long exchange. This is great because no matter where you go you'll have options, but it makes differentiating them more difficult. If you have a particularly country you want to work in or with after graduation look at schools that have short or long term study abroad/projects in that country. A schools few also offer specializations/certificates, but even if it's not offered you can create your schedule so it mimics these types of programs.
One aspect to look at is whether there is an international requirement. At USC, for example, all FT MBA students are required to participate in PRIME. Booth has a specialized International MBA that also requires time abroad. As one AdCom member told me, their school has a lot of great but underutilized opportunities. I think if you are looking for a school that is strong in IB/GM then some preference should be given to those that make a global mentality part of the requirements.
Good luck in your search and if you need more help you can send me a PM.
