Syracuse Whitman or University of Houston Bauer

Question

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time out to consider my questions.

I have a Bachelor of Engineering from Massey University in New Zealand, majoring in Environmental Technology and Sustainable Energy.
In addition, I have 4 and half years construction experience, starting off as an assistant engineer, moving on to bid management and project management within that time.

I have two admits:

Syracuse Whitman: Scholarship of $20,000
University of Houston Bauer: Just received an admit so no news of aid yet.

I would like and a sustainable/energy focused MBA. Syracuse has a tie up with SUNY and provide sustainability certificates, while UH has an energy focus MBA.

I need some advice on how to I should go about making a selection.

Thank you once again,
Karan.

Hi Archit,

I have actually decided to go to neither, I am probably going to Rutgers. So far in my research, out of all three, Rutgers boasts the highest employment rate (within 90 days of graduation) at 93%.

But I am assuming that u wanted Energy focused electives. But Rutgers has One, I doubt. One thing is positive with Rutgers its in New Jersy dats Louisiana. I guess, So that is also Energy hub. Moreover Rutgers is 2nd oldest university of US so it has strong hold.....
Can you detail your profile.

Best of Luck

Hi!

I got an interview invite from Syracuse. 
Any previous year admits/ current admits, kindly provide your valuable inputs to crack the interview.

Thanks in Advance!

Congratulations on the acceptances! How wonderful that you have two strong options.

To  decide between them , look at the recruiting records for both over the last few years. Does one or the other have a recognizably stronger track record for recruiting in companies of interest to you? Aside from the funding offer and the curriculums, this recruiting factor is sometimes significant.

Aside from that, write down the pluses and negatives of each program, and give a weight to each factor. And then add up the results! This will give you an objective sense of the two, and you can then isolate your subjective response, if any, and decide how much to factor that in to your decision.

Hi Karan & Archit,

I have instate tution offer from Bauer with Bauer Excellence Scholarship. That reduces my International MBA expenses to great deal. But as per my research , BAuer's EMBA has good reputation but its FT MBA is still climbing the ladder.

DO you guys have certain more advise for me on Bauer. I have to take a final call soon.

Regards

Hi guys!
I know this conversation is from a while ago, but since you mentioned the MBA program at Bauer, I have a question about it.

I haven't seen the Bauer MBA (University of Houston) in the trackers nor the rankings. What do you think of this? Maybe it is because they don't want to be in the MBA rankings, or do you think it is something else about the university or the program?
