Hello,
It is hard to find a good ranking on one year MBA in the US or Canada. What are your suggestions?

Here is where I am on the subject for now.
Boston U International MBA looks good based on BU's good reputation, but I am not sure about the program.
Babson seems to have a good program, but the reputation of the school up in Canada is not great. I would say that UMass has a better brand than Babson up here...
What are the conditions to get into the Notre-Dame accelerated MBA?
York's program is always very well ranked, but the University itself has a not so great reputation. Comments?
Thanks a lot!

For the Notre-Dame accelerated MBA, assuming you have completed all the courses asked for prior to the program, do you think that granting the right to complete the program in only one year is a huge favor, and accordingly the admission criteria would be extra strong, or do you think it is more of a yes/no question and the admission criteria are not different than for a two year program (in terms of experience, GPA, GMAT, etc.).
Thank you very much again!

The courses are not the main prerequisite, which is the need to be the sort of person who would not benefit more from the two year programme: someone who doesn't need an internship and can take the intense pace of the summer semester. The one year students don't have more work experience (you can see that yourself on the website) but, because they have completed the core business curriculum, they will have a higher GMAT. They are not career changers, so they will tend to have already made good progression.
