Hi all,
I've been accepted to both programs for fall 2013, no scholarships at either school
I need help deciding which school is the better choice for me. In terms of ranking, they're about the same, but I think CMU has a slight edge.
Some information about me and my goals...
background: tier 1/2 undergrad (top 50?), 3.4 gpa, engineering major, 6 years in IT consulting
future goals post mba. 2 options:
1) strategy/management consulting at MBB (i know that's a stretch at either schools), deloitte, monitor group, accenture, etc.
2) general/project/product management at a high tech company like google/microsoft/amazon/apple/ibm etc.
location post mba: I haven't decided on this yet. I'm open to both west and east coast, but definitely either LA, San Fran, NYC, or Boston. I know USC would have the edge in the west coast.
but given all that, what do you guys think is the best choice for me?

Tepper (and Carnegie Mellon) grads in general place very well at high tech companies, so CMU gains the edge in post-MBA option #2.
It also arguably has the better brand in terms of long-term recognition and is more well known, although USC Marshall holds a larger alumni base.
If you are seeking one direction nevertheless, I'd say go with Tepper. Best of luck with your decision.

I think Tepper would be better for #2 because of CMU's overall reputation and their quant-heavy programme. One thing you might want to consider is that you're pretty much the archetypal Tepper student while you may more of a unique breed at Marshall. I'd pick Tepper regardless though unless you're really into working in California because I get the impression that Marshall is a programme in decay/on the brink of decay.
