Hi all!
I want to say thank you in advance for helping me out. I am really struggling on choosing a school to start in the Fall 2018 semester. I was admitted to: Indiana, UF (16 month accelerated), Villanova, and ASU. These are all online MBAs.
A little about me: Live in CT, Graduated Villanova School of Business in 2014, 3.77 GPA, 640 GMAT, work in Finance/Product for 4 years at an insurance company with a promotion in there, and am looking to get an MBA in order to develop leadership skills, network, and gain credentials to move up the ladder.
I think I have narrowed it down to Indiana or UF. However, I am struggling because even though they are similar in rankings and cost, their programs are vastly different. I have done a lot of research on both and am stuck. Any advice, or direction would be helpful.
Thanks!
Congrats.
Just to clarify, I do not believe that online program will help improve leadership and network as the Full time MBA program does. It is because low interactions between peers and no group projects as you see in full time.
That being said, I would lean to Kelley as the program has variety in its curriculum that will help you. Also, the resident week is limited to overall 2 weeks which will remove hassle of travelling. I do not know any residential week in UH, though.
