<p>These are the UNDERGRADUARE employment profiles for the three schools. It will be great if you will post some other B-school undergraduate employment profiles, it will be better if you can find the newest (2006) data because things change radically in case of some institutions. I’m very interested in Northeastern University’s employment profile 2006(not internship) so can someone post it? I couldn’t find it.</p>
<p>DOLO2, those stats don't mean anything. I go to one of the three schools and I can tell you judging from the statistics of who gets hired my school, 98% hired or grad school in 6 months, means absolutely squach. </p>
<p>Look at industry specific etc. If you can go to a decent business school and have good marks, getting a job will not be hard. However, the most important thing is the INDUSTRY of your future job. That is most crucial. Getting an accounting position is not impossible, or even moderately difficult, from these schools, but getting an analyst position in HF or AM can be near impossible.</p>
<p>More recruiting companies or opportunities mean nothing? I know what you mean by saying that getting an accounting position is not impossible. But Babson for example has 537 companies recruiting on campus, and I don't think they all are looking for accounting majors. Plus I looked at industry: Financial Services (31%) is on the first place following Accounting (13%) on the second and Consulting (9%) on third place. Is it too bad? Plus I looked at the positions accepted by the class of 2006: Accenture-analyst; Fidelity Investments-financial analyst, Associate Business Systems Analyst; Lehman Brothers-analyst; EMC Corporation- associate business analyst, associate finance analyst; Deutsche Bank-analyst; Bain Capital-financial analyst and etc. It seems to me that there is nothing impossible in getting analyst position in very prestigious firms if you graduate from Babson, please correct me because I’m novice in whole this process. I’m going to take two concentrations if I go to Babson, Entrepreneurship and finance. If it’s not a secret can you please tell me which institution from this three do you attend?</p>
<p>DOLO2, I currently go to Bentley which gives me a fair insight into both Babson / Bentley schools due to some common rivalry. I won't say which school is better, that is left always up to what individual is looking for.</p>
<p>The biggest problem is Financial Services is such a broad umbrella term. Included in those could range from IB, all the way down to a menial financial data processor. </p>
<p>To those that are accepted into Lehman Brothers, Duetsche and Bain as an analyst (assuming it was IB) are the type of individuals that would have made it from any of the three schools. Out of the three you mentioned, if you were looking to get into specifically the best employees, judging from statistics, I go lean with Babson. However, the tradeoff, is Babson works their students hard. Expect to work for your grades. Out of an alumni database, I would also lean with Babson. </p>
<p>Bear in mind that the positions accepted by the class are always the ones from single few individuals. A quick glance at our admissions paper sent to prospective students dictates that Bentley has had students accepted to Goldman, Merrill, Morgan, JP, Citi, etc. A glance at positions accepted from these undergraduate places will always yield the best names. It's not impossible to get ten crazed ambitious students out of 800 each year that will only settle for the best.</p>
<p>To sum it up, if you're stuck between these three places, I would recommend you pick based upon where you will like it the most. Your ambitious will always stay with you. Babson will make it easier and harder in someways. Previous alum have paved the way, but you will have to work for all the grades you get.</p>
<p>Actually I’m not choosing only between these three, I’m also accepted at Northeastern, Indiana, Purdue still waiting for Illinois at Urbana and Miami (FL). But to say truth I’m choosing between Babson, Bentley, BU and Northeastern because I think they are better than other ones. (am I wrong?)</p>
<p>I’m international student and I know that it is hard for internationals to find job in US because of their visa status. As I know employer must sponsor international students and only in that case it becomes possible for international to work. So from which school is it easer to be sponsored? I thought that more internationals are in the school the more attention you get and there are more chances to be recruited, is it right? (In that case Babson is great for me, since 20% of student body is international)</p>
<p>Also do you know about these schools international reputation? Which one is better known outside the USA? </p>
<p>I’m informed that I must work hard for my grades, and I think I’m ready to do so. But is there grade deflation, like it is in BU’s case in Babson, Bentley or Northeastern?</p>
<p>The three schools you mentioned are better than Northeastern and Miami. Indiana and Purdue - I'm unsure of, that would up to you.</p>
<p>To answer your question succinctly, Babson is highly recognized internationally. It's not "grade deflation" rather you have to work for your grades at Babson. There are really high standards. I would say, Babson students have to work harder than BU students for their grades but Babson is also known to be a great entrepreneurial school. Bentley, outside of the Northeast, will face very difficult name-recognition. If you are international and would rather be around more international students, I would recommend Babson. On the flip side, at Bentley, if you’re intelligent and determined, it’s possible to get a 4.0 and hold 2-3 jobs. Obviously, I can’t tell at Babson if I could pull the same thing since there’s only one of me, however, a few intelligent individuals I know commented on the ridiculous work load when we were sharing exchanges about our respective colleges.</p>
<p>Never underestimate the fun of being in the city though.</p>
<p>BU/Bentley/Babson, etc are not necessarily better in terms of rank and prestige than Indiana, which has an excellent business program. UIUC (Urbana-Champagne) is the school that trumps them all. Forget about Northeastern, it's a poor school that overcharges just like BU.</p>
<p>Also it all depends on your experience and your drive to cold/call sell yourself to firms who do not recruit on your campus. The statistics mean nothing. If you are nervous, receive a high GPA in whatever school you are, work for 3 years, get a MBA in any top ranking b-school you damn well please: Wharton, HBS, Sloan, Ross, Darden, Kellogg, Johnson, Stanford GSB, Stern etc. etc. Then you do PE/Consulting/IBD. etc.</p>
<p>biggbadwolfy, echoes my sentiments in saying the UI-Urbana Champagne is the best of the ones you're perhaps considering. Though not noted for their business or finance program, UI-UC is well recognized for their accounting program. Ultimately it's up to you my friend...Hope this helps!</p>
