JHU carey or WASHU Olin

Hi everyone
I have to make a choice between Johns Hopkins' Carey GMBA program with Olin business school in WUSTL's MBA program.
Since I'm going back to asia after my graduation, my target was as below:

  1. find a internship in the summer of my first year
  2. to get a job in finance industry in Hong Kong or Singapore

I understand both of them have some pros and cons
JHU: pros - much stronger international reputation in Asia
- better location and more internship chances?

Wustl pros - better established b-school
- more experienced students( I found that a significant part of JHU's MBA candidates were with less than 1 yr experience

How would you choose between these 2 schools?

 

Hopkins student here (and from the St. Louis area incidentally).

I would suggest Wash U. It is a much more established program that brings in students who, like you said, are much more experienced. From what I gather being at Hopkins, the business school was never meant to be a traditional B-school, and from what I hear now with the new dean it is moving towards a more healthcare specific focus. No one at Hopkins really even thinks of the business program as far as I can tell (I mean as a significant contribution of the university). Good luck!

 

I am a Johns Hopkins Carey current student. As a matter of fact, I enjoy my program a lot. Im studying marketing and often can have classes with MBA students. Most of my classmates are very senior, with more than 5 years of working experiences is about the average level. Also, the location is important as you can find part-time/internship jobs way easier than WUSTL, which i think is basically in the middle of nowhere. A friend of mine now is studying in St. Louis and she has to move to NYC to have summer internship...
