Hey strider3,

Thanks for reaching out to the forum. This is not enough information to provide you any insight. There is a simple reason why I cannot tell you what school is right for you. "Why?" Because I have no idea what you want to be when you grow up. Do you want to be a fireman or do you want to be a policeman? Do want to be strategy consultant within technology? Do you want to move into business development?

My point is that you have a fairly good understanding of your background, but I certainly know nothing about your goals (or your background for that matter). An MBA is not necessarily a one-size-fits-all degree. Applicants have to pick and choose the school that is right for them. I would tell you that a particular program as a conduit or bridge to your short and long-term goals. Some bridges will be better than others. Other bridges may be appropriate, but may not be the path you want to take or they may not accept you. Finally, there are bridges that have trolls living underneath them. Those bridges are scary and they're usually non-accredited.

This is what I can tell you – go look at the career center reports for each school. Look to see what are the feeder industries that's cool – both into and out of the program. Also consider where it is that you want to live after graduation. There may be some so-so schools that are located in great areas for your desired industry. That should help you decide what school is best for you.

Respectfully,
Paul Lanzillotti

With a 570 the schools you are likely to get into probably won't be worth the investment. You're young. Retake the GMAT, get a 650+ and THEN figure out where you want to apply.

Before you apply, take a close look at the schools' employment reports and whether or not they can help you reach the career goals you want.

Hey Dinesh,

Step it up, man. I really think you need to do a bit more research into the requirements of what you want to do before diving into "which MBA?"
It sounds like you don't have a really good grasp on the skills you are going to need to "run your mom's manufacturing company." I used to be production super in a manufacturing environ and it's really about ops, supply chain before marketing and international exposure. Put another way - you can market and take your product international, but if you can't figure out how to do that efficiently (supply chain) or make a good product (operations), you can only fool the consumer once.

Figure out the requirements of the J O B by spending a few weeks getting some OTJ training, then find schools that specialize in building those schools. If you don't do more HW (for your own good) you are going to get your arse in a sling once you get into a program and then realize it's not doing anything for you.

But alas, if you want a list topmba dot com seems to have a lot of them, and here is one for intl. management - https://www.topmba.com/mba-rankings/glob ... management. Lists can only tell you so much Dinesh - let's get real - you have to go and figure out what individual initiatives (eg. field studies, international programs, orgs/clubs) really address what you need to learn.

Paul Lanzillotti
