<p>I will be attending Cornell this year, and I was wondering about this MBA school. I know that it is ranked 16th by USA Today and 11th by Business Weekly (I think that is the magazine's name). Anyway, I was wondering about the reputation of the Johnson School, in terms of its contacts with corporations like Citigroup, or manufacturing one like GE. Thanks!</p>
<p>Also, I was wondering whether people should start looking at international schools for MBAs. For example, India accepts students from other countries, and its a booming economy, therefore, would an MBA grad say in India be more successful than one in the US.</p>
<p>by the way as for my first query, I am referring to Cornell University's Johnson School of business. Just an fyi for those who may not know about it offhand!</p>
<p>As for the India thing, here's an example. Their stock market index has risen 58% in the past year, that's pretty crazy. Based on that, I would think that a company like Goldman Sachs would be inclined to hire grads from the Ahemdadbad (however you spell it) School of Business, which is by the way the #1 School for Business there, and apparently its grads are being hired like anything, meaning that the opportunity appears to be golden.</p>
<p>Also, there are the booming south american countires, like Brazil, so.........</p>
<p>About the India and its business schools, its true that they are being hired like crazy. One guy was hired from Ahmedabad by a U.S. company with a starting salary of $190,000. Note that it is extremely difficult to get into though. However, if you don't mind studying in India, I would definitely reccommend considering it.</p>
<p>I think you should research the acceptance rate of international students for top business schools that are outside of the US vs. the acceptance rate for the top b-schools in the US. I, for one, am not familiar with this. Could it be possible that its just easier to go to a top-10 b-school and learn another language vs. going to study abroad for an MBA?</p>
<p>if it's ranked that well then its connections should be pretty good. Check to see the companies that recruit, the placement statistics, etc. they should all be on the website for the school.</p>
<p>What the above posters have said is true, but note that english is the universal language at all Indian graduate schools.</p>
<p>For Brazil, most firms and companies are HQ'd in S</p>
<p>what about Wharton?</p>
<p>MBA in India is a very good option as Indian grads from Indian Institute Of Management(IIM){there are six in total..IIM ahemdabad,calcutta,banglore etc etc....} And they are very open to international students however the $190000 salary tht we are taking about largely depends on the work experience of the students. Internatonal firms readily and very happily recruit from IIMs but not all students back that kindda salary. Other than the IIMs there is ISB(Indian School Of Business) in hyderabad..this school offers 1 yr MBA and is MUCH better(IMO) than the IIMs in terms of its recruitments. Last yr 2 ISB grads got around $220000 approx. (one was hired by an IT company in the US) additionally the professors at ISB are from all elite schools of the world such as LBS,Chicago GSB,stanford etc.. the quality of education is premium as is the facilities.</p>
<p>besides the cost of an MBA in India IIM is less than 1/3rd of tht in the US and plus u have the opportuity of backing the same kindda salary($190000) tht u wud have by spending $120000 in a US school.......The US schools have their own benefits. the final decision lies upon u where u think u wud be a good 'fit'.....</p>
<p>please feel free to get in touch if u would like to know anything else about indian Bschools as i had researched on it.</p>
<p>As for Cornell, it has a widespread brand recognition. however u must directly contact the school to get a better picture.</p>
