CMU MISM VS Stanford MS&E

<p>It is said that MS&E@stanford is very hard to get in. So I did not apply for it at first. But today I get an ad from CMU MISM. So I do not know whether I should try to apply for stanford. (I do not want to waste the 120$ application fee)</p>

<p>Anyone know more about these two programs? Anyone who can share more info about the MS&E at stanford? What about the placement record? Is it much better that the MISM@CMU?</p>

<p>Ps. I am an international student. My career goal is consulting, either IT consulting or business consulting is ok.</p>
