Cornell MPP v Duke MMS v Tufts MIB v Georgetown MPP

I have admits to all the programs.

I want to get into MBB or even outside the main (thinking Oliver Wyman, OC&C, AT Kearney)

As MBB are brand whores, I have narrowed my choices to the above. I am still waiting on Chicago and USC but likely will end somewhere above.

I like the Cornell program because it allows an ivy league name, diverse electives from variety of schools at Cornell and employment into public sector from MPP is very good.

Duke MMS was my initial first choice but have cooled on the topic.

GTown I like because it gives me choice of a dual degree.

My question, best selection for MBB?

 
Iceman21:
What was your undergrad school and gpa and have you worked? Im asking because I would like to pursue this path, just trying to see what it takes to get in

Undergrad at Oxford. Law, 3.5GPA

Got tons of legal work experience, international and within London

Currently working for small consultancy company.

Anyone with any info??

 

Georgetown, for whatever reason, doesn't seem to place as well as similarly regarded schools. I also have a deep and abiding love of drink and vagina which I feel is much more prevalent in that part of NC, unless you like the JAPPY chicks at GW, you will have a tougher time at G'town.

Plus Duke is business related which, i assume it was you want to do.

Ha. Most definitely not into Jappy chicks! I hear Cornell competes very well in its array of hot women.

Duke seems logical but worried about potential placements.

 

Given that you're interested specifically in the public sector practice of a consulting firm, I'm not sure how much knowledge you can expect people on this board to have. People here are generally familiar with the traditional strategic practices of these firms.

 

well, im not so sure about the field you are interested in, but i am going to Duke MMS for 2012.. so come ,) i am choosing it over LSE's MSc Management as I want to do US-China related business in the future, mainly brand management and management consulting. For business, Fuqua is probably the best choice from your selection.

Time either promotes you or exposes you

Whats your background like, if you dont mind sharing?

Mainly looking into remaining in consulting, ideally public sector/government related. MPP places into that. Duke was my first choice initially but now worried about placing against Duke undergrads who got into the program. Ideally I want another shot at OCR. For that Duke is the best I guess.

 

i got double undergrad degree from EU school, but not well known. then a year at USC Marshall and Renmin University. some LA and Beijing internships at known companies.

i don't think you will be disadvantaged against undergrads from Duke if u come from Oxford. You will be unique when applying to jobs in the US and quite international, which most US undergrads will lack. but again, I am looking at Duke Fuqua in terms of marketing, which is quite strong. in terms of general consulting, im not sure but should still be a target school.

i got admits to NYU, LSE... come to Fuqua!

Congrats on the acceptances.

I like Duke but concerned about the July start as it prevents me from working during the summer. Plus also I'm a little older then everyone else. I'll be surrounded by 22 year olds (has its perks no doubt!)
