Hi
I am really confused between few colleges. I am considering to go by US News ranking since this year it focused on placements and salaries more, rather than B school Brand and Reputation.
I have the following options for MBA. I want to get into big four consulting or a general management role in any top companies. I know the target is difficult form these schools but still I want your help, which school would help me land any decent job. I am an international candidate from India with a legal background and have an experience of 6 years.
1- Boston College, Carroll school of management, rank 42, no scholarship
2- Stevens Institute of Technology, Rank 53, no scholarship
3-Iowa State University, rank 51, no scholarship
4-Katz school management, Pittsburgh, Rank 86, 16k scholarship
5-Some lower ranked colleges, American Kogod( 70K scholarship, Babson , 25K scholarship)
Georgetown McDonough- Waitlisted
Vanderbilt - Waitlisted
Boston University, Questrom- Waitlisted
Your help would be appreciated. I don’t mind taking education loan if I can get a decent job.

Congrats on your admits.
With schools in the low categories and rankings it is probably not so critical to choose the right one as the lowest cost since they all will be helping your grow and will expand your horizons but they won’t help or command much of a job placement premium requiring recruiting off campus on your own.
When you say Big4, those are the accounting companies. Not consulting per se. In consulting there is MBB and Tier 2 (many of them are Big4 but not all).
I would consider and think what would make you an attractive hire to a Tier 2 consulting company … that’s for you to figure out. What would you add to them vs someone from Ross or another school with shinier name. Can you offset some of the weakness of the brand with experience or a unique industry aspect?
But there is no school that can guarantee you will get in to a consulting firm. A lot of that depends on you. An MBA program may be helpful with getting these forms on campus/etc but up to you to convert and make an impression. You will have to outshine a lot of applicants.

congratulation for your admit.. its wrong to assume that a decent job will come in hand day you graduate especially .. I would recommend that you get in touch with existing students similar to your background so as to gain an insight of challenges they are facing with job scenario.... from the given list of schools all seem to fine you just need to pick the one which suits best with your long term goals of career , desired demography of job etc..
