This post might be useful for those who are confused about choosing the right school. Having the right set of schools is extremely important to make sure you
are in the right direction. This research might seem like a lot of work. However, for the kind of investment required for an MBA program, it's essential to do this research.
Some of these are easy kills.
1. List down your non-negotiables - This works like the process of elimination on the GMAT. You should be clear about what you don't want.
Geography: Some non-negotiables could be the region you don't want to apply to. Say, for example, if you're going to focus on international exposure, and you wouldn't want to apply to any schools in your country.
Budget: You are sure of the amount of investment you want to make for your MBA/Masters.
Ranking: Higher ranking schools are always very competitive. Some aspirants are open to apply to the top 50 schools, and some want to apply to the top 10. Make sure you are clear on what is your choice here.
2. Research on the Schools - Once you have listed down your non-negotiables, start your research on the schools. Create an excel for yourself. You can take a look at the format here: Template
Create your ranking - Rate each parameter in this list and how it maps to you.
3. Research on Linkedin Profiles of Alumni from your first list. Look at profiles of students on B-School websites to understand your fitment. To begin with, it could be an exhaustive 20-30 schools.
4. Make a list of the top 10 companies you would want to work with. Make a realistic list based on your current experience. Look at B-schools in that region or alumni working in these companies ( You could use Linkedin for this)
5. Look at the curriculum in each school. Note down the positives / what inspired you in each of these schools. Some schools talk about the contact programs/ internships/
exchange programs with other schools etc.
Include attending online webinars, info sessions, MBA tours, etc. as part of your research.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Shree
