Hello all,
I have recently started my b-school research. I would either like to start a company or work as a consultant, both in business analytics. I have sufficient technical education and experience in data mining and analytics. I was wondering if there is a program that will prepare me for achieving either of the objectives. [Please know that I'll be doing in my research too, but it would be nice if someone can offer a general direction] I necessarily don't need to take any more courses in analytics, but I definitely need to build entrepreneurial skills and good network in this field. Please do not scoff at my questions, as I have barely begun to understand the whole application process. Would location/ranking matter in such a case? If I am unable to start a start-up right off the bat, I am interested in working as a consultant for analytics solutions provider companies.
Does anyone here have similar goals or have already done so? Is someone here doing analytics post-MBA?
Thanks for your help.

i think the stronger the brand name of the school, the easier it will be for you to land offers post mba.
i'm pretty sure there will be quite a few opportunities out there for the career you want, and you'll be able to get a solid offer straight out of school as long as you put the work in and really prepare yourself for it. and brand definitely matters imo.
