<p>Guys...Please help me out!!... I am a Fall 2012 MBA aspirant and I have these admits ( Yup...I was pretty unsure thats why applied to a lot of places.. and now I stand on crossroads not knowing where shall i go!!:)</p>
<p>Firstly a little about myself... I am from India with 2 years of Experience in IT/computer sector and I am doing an MBA for switching careers..... I'll be really frank in telling you that I plan to go for International Management/ Marketing as my electives...and YUP I do wanna work in the US for a few years before i head back home!! </p>
<p>Keeping the above aspirations in mind:: Please have your say for these options::
all of them Full time MBA programs where I got admits::</p>
<ol>
<li>UT Dallas</li>
<li>Uni of Oregon,Eugene</li>
<li>Uni of Pittsburgh</li>
<li>Uni of Missouri, columbia</li>
<li>Uni of Utah, salt lake city</li>
<li>University of Calgary, Canada</li>
<li>Uni of Victoria,Canada</li>
</ol>
<p>Okay, Now I need add that I got scholarships in almost all of the above but Removing that as a factor and taking into consideration my interest to find jobs with MBA in Intl Business/ Marketing.... Plus take into account the best MBA experience....</p>
<p>Which University would you ask me to attend....??...</p>
<p>Go to Pitt! It’s the only program out of these that is ranked in any significant way, and Pittsburgh is a fun city.</p>
<p>For programs of this caliber, you want the best school you can possibly get into. None of these schools are going to give you a special leg up in international business.</p>
<p>PoetsAndQuants does a combined ranking of the other prominent rankings. They have Pitt ranked the highest out of these, followed by Missouri, Texas-Dallas, then Utah and finally Oregon.</p>
<p>Neither of your Canadian admits are good enough to consider against schools like Pitt or Missouri.</p>
<p>Thanks for all your responses… But Pitt is ranked way below UT Dallas full time MBA program in the US news rankings 2012…Moreover…UTD has given me almost double the scholarship when compared to my offer from Pitt… I absolutely agree to the fact that when it comes to the overall university rankings… Pitt seems the best choice…but here we are looking for just the full time mba program… and in that case UT Dallas scores…</p>
<p>Go to UT Dallas, if it is the cheapest spot for you. A lot of Texas corporations favor in state students.
My second option is Utah. A lot of financial corporations have operations there, ie Fidelity has their main call centers there and that’s how a lot of reps get their start.</p>
<p>Forget about the International business ranking. Most people only know relative prestige of the business school not its focus.International business focus is a nebulous term. Spending a semester overseas would give you more credibility. Do you really think that firms would hire University of Thunderbird students over Wharton students even if Thunderbird is ranked higher in int’l business?</p>
