Question

Which of these two schools would be a better option for an international student having work experience in software development?

GT Scheller

- Not STEM yet
- As per the employment report, Scheller seems to be sending more people to Tech than W.p Carey.

W.p carey

Hey! Are you sure that Scheller has no way to help you make your MBA a STEM-designated degree?

At this time, Scheller does not have a stem designation. 😢

Supposedly they have a plied and supposedly they will secure it by March but that is not guaranteed…. I think realistically, there is a 90% chance that the incoming class will have stem designation and three years of OPT after graduation but all kinds of weird things happen and I would caution about the other 10%. Again, chances are really good that the program will be stem for the incoming class….

At this time, ASU seems to be the better option…

In terms of people going to tech, shower is a small program of less than 100 people So if 60 people out of 80 filled out the survey, and 20 of them went into tech, suddenly you have 33%. That’s just 20 people… I would be digging in more into it

If you are deeply passionate about product management, then GT does has a dual degree option to get STEM designation https://www.scheller.gatech.edu/degree- ... index.html Posted from my mobile device

But the class size of ASU is also small. Just 60 people when I looked at the class profile

How is ASU for product management and internationals. What is your review of the school? Since I see that you are current student

That's what I am wondering too! Did you end up attending  bhaskarm  or did you defer?

bhaskarm · Answer

I have started MBA this year at Kelley School of Business. However, I had an offer from ASU for class of 2022. In my research, I found that ASU is a great school to get into Supply Chain & Operations Management and Supply Chain Consulting. ASU has a strong brand for being a Supply Chain school. So, this strong brand of ASU can go against those students who are looking for job in areas other than Supply Chain. ASU doesn't has many alumni in tech or product management. Some people in recent classes went into product management but the ratio is too small. If you already have strong competency in product management then you can land a job in product management from any school but if you want to rely heavily on the school network then choose a school that has a good alumni base in product management.
