Got admits to UCLA EMBA, Cornell EMBA and Michigan Ross EMBA. Could anyone comment on the best school among the three.

I am applying for scholarships and financial aid. What are my best chances to get some funding.

Thanks in advance.

I've applied to Ross, Cornell and Darden. So pretty similar situation. I should know my admissions decisions soon. Ross EMBA is ranked higher. The schools are peers though. Choose the best fit. Curious what do you think Ross vs Cornell Americas?

I am leaning towards UCLA Anderson as the program requires the students to meet in person once a month at the UCLA campus. That would mean more face time and networking opportunities compared to Cornell and Ross. I live in SF Bay area. Both Ross and Cornell have board room sessions which is held biweekly or monthly with only 7-9 students. All the 3 schools are pretty much in the same pool in terms of ranking. I am also considering Cornell as its an Ivy League school.

Did you happen to get any scholarships for the Exec MBA. Scholarships are hard to find.

I haven't been admitted to any of them yet so no news to share about scholarships. I should know in the next few days though, but in the executive format scholarships are scarce.

My thought process is similar to yours though. Ross and Darden meet monthly in person with about 60-70 classmates whereas Cornell is a boardroom every other week but it is Ivy and I've heard great things about the program.

Kevivj,

Have you decided or found more information about your dilemma - Ross EMBA versus UCLA EMBA versus Cornell EMBA? I have been admitted to Ross (L. A. campus) and UCLA EMBA as well and would like to hear more.

I have found in general scholarships are hard to find for Executive MBA programs. Anderson admissions officials told me EMBAs have virtually zero funds in terms of scholarships or grants.

Ross L.A campus I believe has total 30-35 students, not a class of 60 or 70.
