<p>How is Williams College's placement in top MBA program (Harvard,Stanford,Wharton) compared to Cambridge,Oxford and LSE?</p>
<p>if anyone here (or anywhere) can make that comparison. But I can say that Williams has outstanding placement, competitive with any college in the U.S., into top MBA programs and if that is your primary concern you can’t go wrong choosing Williams. Two of my close college friends (neither of whom had particularly high GPAs at Williams) went to Wharton, and everyone I know who applied to MBA programs ended up at a top-tier program, including Standard, Haas, Tuck, and Harvard. If you do well (well meaning above average GPA) at Williams and perform well (>700) on the GMAT, you will very likely have no problem whatsoever in getting accepted into a top-5, at worst top-10, MBA program. And even below-average Williams students get into very well-regarded programs if the rest of their application is strong.</p>
<p>“Two of my close college friends (neither of whom had particularly high GPAs at Williams)”</p>
<p>Hey Ephman, can u give me a range of GPA obtained by those close friends of urs? Thanks!</p>
<p>This was quite awhile back now, but talking in the 3.3 to 3.6 range.</p>
<p>WDP2, why would you want to go to “Cambridge,Oxford and LSE”?</p>
<p>Ephman, how hard it is to get that kind of GPA at Williams?</p>
<p>I’m an international student and I’m applying two of the three I mentioned. Actually I’m not sure what kind of education i really want. UK’s depth or liberal art’s width. Both appeal to me… So I want to factor in career prospect and graduate school placement in my consideration</p>
<p>WDP2: Have you applied to any US unis? r u taking A Level now? What subjects, if I may ask?</p>
<p>I applied ED to Williams. Physics, chemistry,mathematics and economics for a-level</p>
<p>WDP2: Regarding your question, top US MBAs AFAIK look more at your work experiences and achievements than on where did you get your degree from. Look at those who got accepted. Hint: many from non-Ivies, et al. You may not ever have heard of the names of some of these unis, in fact! But if I were you, I will be studying in the US instead of the UK. It is a non-brainer, really. Also, you could always do the exchange program to Oxford if you went to Williams.</p>
<p>Graduate schools might be different though. Even though you can still get into top US grad schools from non-top-tier university, it will be much harder for you to get in.</p>
<p>I know work experience counts. That’s why I am a bit worried about British schools because from what I heard, extracurriculum activities are not as important part of the college experience in UK as in US. And i’m afraid it will be harder to find internships and jobs because of that.</p>
