Which school for Consulting POST MBA [#permalink] New post   20 Nov 2014, 23:26
What schools would you choose among these and why : Cornell, Emory, UNC, USC, Georgetown, Ross, Mccombs.

I would like to be a consultant that focused on the entertainment and video game industry.

I'm leaning towards one but I'm curious as to other peoples thoughts.

I would put up schools in the top 10 but I don't think I can get into them.

I believe of the schools you listed, Ross has historically placed the best in management consulting. This is purely from whatever I've read on gmatclub and past employment reports. If you're looking to target Texas specifically, McCombs might work better. I'm not entirely sure about consulting in the entertainment and video game industry specifically though. Maybe some people in the field or current students can help you out there?

Unless you go to a very niche boutique firm, you can't be that specific with your consulting goals. Entertainment is possible, video games practically impossible. And that said, consulting is a brand game. So you go to the best ranked program you possibly can get into. It's really not any more scientific than that!

Cool, I never heard of anyone aiming for Video Game consulting before...

What can I tell you besides what you know? - Follow the industries - NY, Cali, wherever the big firms are located, that's where you want to be - it makes it easier to "Bump into" people, schedule interviews, and everything...

Best,
