School selection: McDonough School of Business vs Ivey
Dear reader, I have been admitted to Georgetown McDonough and Ivey. I have also been waitlisted at UNC Kenan Flagler. My past experiences have been in a global power equipment manufacturing company working across Budgeting, Product Development and Strategy over a period of 6 years.
Post MBA, I wish to work in Corporate Strategy with a global player/ technology (product) start-up. I am also exploring options in Consulting Sector in the Innovation/Product Development functions.
Please help me with the following queries: 1) Which school is the best option, assuming that I get an admit from UNC KF as well? The important factors for me are only the short-term goals, and salary (which would help me compensate the debt). I am not considering total cost as a key factor for deciding school. 2) Does school name play a differentiating factor in the long run? If yes, which school is the best choice? 2) I have read at many places that Canadian Schools are excellent for domestic growth. Global opportunities might be tough vis-à-vis US schools. How far is it true?
Your feedback will be of immense help to me. Thank you so much! regards, Rahul
