Congrats rajatvermaenator

You have really great offers at hand.

SCM and operation is my specialty. So, I'm glad to help. If you read my old posts. I always say there is another standard for supply chain education called Gartner.

I will rule out Mcdonough as it is neither supply chain powerhouse nor offering any comparable scholarship. Also, I won't count Schulich as it seems you prefer USA over Canada. Likewise, Kelley doers not offer same scholarship that the last 2 offer.

From SCM quality and scholarship, Eli Borad tops all schools. It is a known powerhouse for SCM and has the biggest academic staff for SC. In addition, The geography and career office support its position.

Then it comes W Carey, It is well known as supply chain powerhouse in the south west region. This program has a privilege over Broad that I like more than Carey. It is STEM program which can relief to you while searching for a job. I do not see the career office doing bad job in Carey at all. Its numbers are good. I do not know why you had this distance between you and current domestic students but let me advise you something, One aspect of MBA is to know people from other cultures and live this culture from them. It is not good to travel to a program that have this signification number of your nation. I recall bb has a point in this experience and he may share.

If I were in you place, I would pick Carey up directly, although my preference to Broad.


Thank you mo2men! I have already gone through your previous posts on the very same topic more or less. They were really insightful.
Though I wanted to ask whether the brand name of Kelley would prove to be more advantageous than Carey in longer run?

I do not see Kelley's name will be of advantageous on long run at all. Also, Any school will be benefit you for 3-5 years. After that you achievements will be the main supporter to you.

Congrats on your admits. I would not pay 50% of tuition + stipend/other benefits for the priviledge of having a slightly higher-ranked MBA program that may in the longer run at some point (unlikely though) come handy.

I think the offers you got are pretty amazing and I would pick the STEM+FREE+ENJOY one ;-)

Congratulations!

Ha ha. Thank you.

Keep in mind it is just a perspective. Think about it, talk it over with your family, and sleep in it. Whatever you do, it is something you want to be committed to and something you are on board for. It won’t make any good to blame someone else (esp me :lol:) for the decision or have regrets and doubt it. MBA is a hard journey and it becomes destructive id you add doubt to it, so make the decision and make sure that you will not look back and wonder how it would have been otherwise. It does not help and you will never know anyway :-)

Good luck with your decision!

I understand bb. Yes, I am and will be sleeping over it for the next two weeks as I have been doing so for the past 2 weeks.? I had paid the deposit to W.P. Carey previous month , the Kelley offer which came afterwards scrambled me a bit. Thank you bb and mo2men.
