Oxford Said v Cornell Johnson

Would you recommend Oxford Said or Cornell Johnson for someone who is looking into getting into management consulting?

International Prestige and Cost have got me wondering which would be best.

I think it depends on you geological preferences. If you want to work in Europe go to Said, but if you want to work in Newyork then go to Johnson.

 

I am fairly familiar with both schools.

The most important factor is geography. That said, between the two, Cornell might be slightly better positioned.

Your GMAT (must be above 700, bare minimum) is the other key factor.

The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd.
