Thanks

Which UMAss? Amherst? That's generally a much better program.

No. It is Umass Boston College of bussiness management the public one

All UMass campuses are public.

UMass Boston has a flexible evening MBA that's really aimed at full-time workers. I don't think you'll get great careers services there. I think a traditional, cohort-based day MBA will have better placement services for international students, since most participants in part-time programs don't need intensive careers services.

The application was for fulltime 24 months programme. In the meantime they have confirmed acceptance today. In rollins interview is over and they asked for career plan submission now. Pl. advise .

Read their website. Their "full time" programme is you attending the part-time classes in the evenings and at weekends, but compressing the part-time degree into 2 years. You won't have a traditional, cohort-based, daytime MBA.

I am not sure how you ended up choosing between two schools that are so very different. Perhaps read these posts?

Thanks Mr.Duncan. Appreciate your advice.

Crummer has a really strong part-time program as well, this is the school's strength, but since its full-time program is aimed at recent graduates, I don't think it's really comparable to other full-time programs in the US, at least for most applicants. Nor does it have the same kind of post-program outcomes as the ranked programs.

It really depends on your goals, expectations, and your current career level. If you're an early-career applicant you might also consider master in management programs instead, something like the Duke MMS program or Sloan's MS in Management would most likely be better choices.

Thanks for the advice.

Hi Duncan again need your help.
Pl.advise on below topic:
My carrier goal is marketing field . 2.5 yrs exp. must enter coming spring semister as i hv left job for the purpose. Applied only for schools where i fit into with my GMAT. I want better school from point of view of placement after full time MBA from the following 3 choices.
1. Got acceptance in full time for St. Johns NY 2. expecting acceptance this week from Rollins Crummer
3. Waiting for Fordham's acceptance also

I am Indian now in India.

Why are you applying only to US schools. Since few schools start in the Spring, your options are limited. Europe might have better options: Bradford, EDHEC, HEC?

Thanks for your advice.
But ihv decided to do marketing MBA from USA only and try placement from there.
Now finally I got acceptance from St. John's and Rollins CRummer. Which one do you think better from point of view of placement. I want to decide between the two.
