VT or SU

Hey all, this is my first post to this website which I've found fairly helpful so far. I'm just curious based on job potential within the finance industry (the Street, investment banks, fund analysts etc...) which is a better MBA program Syracuse or Virginia Tech or neither lol? So far I have determined most MBA's are the same and what differentiates them is pretty much the networks they provide. With that said I've discovered SU has the location and presence in NYC and VT has an extremely large and close knit alumni group and is also close to Charlotte (2.5 hours). Please let me know what your thoughts are.

Clarification: This wasn't advocating VT BSchool.

Neither. If these are your only two options, do neither and keep working. SU would be decent if you wanted to work in F500 or something along those lines. If you want to be in finance, neither will do anything for you. You would be better off just doing an MSF and only wasting one year of your life.

 

Try networking. Syracuse isn't going to get OCR, but I know plenty of Orangemen in finance. Get into the OVF.

Just because banks don't come on campus doesn't mean alumni aren't in the industry.
