SCHOOL COMMENTS
School Comments:
N/A
Professors were great, but the students really made the experience for me. They were smart and talented, yet very down-to-earth and largely ego-free. These were two of the most enjoyable years of my life, due to the high quality of the educational experience and the quality time spent with great friends. — Investment Banking
The experience of an MBA in a good New York location, with the access to firms and cultural life cannot be matched by other schools. — Finance
The Stern community is a network of supportive friends who see that every person’s individual success will lead us all to group success. It is a collaborative place, not cutthroat. I would wholeheartedly advise anyone to come to Stern. — Marketing
Stern is one of the best schools to get you a job in finance (investment banking, sales & trading) if you come from a different background. Stern has among the highest representation in summer associate classes at most of the I-banks. — Finance
NYU’s strong relationship with New York companies is undeniable, and the alumni have been really giving back to the new graduates. — Consulting
The recruiting at NYU Stern is amazing for those on the finance track. If you are looking to get a job at an investment bank, NYU is the place to go. The bulge bracket banks begin recruiting the first month of the first semester and really make an effort to attract talent. — Investment Banking
While the curricula is top-notch and 90% of professors were spectacular, the quality of student is where Stern shines. We are an odd bunch of intelligent, cooperative, type A personalities. The result is not just a fun experience, but a wonderful complement to our education. New to all things finance, I asked many of my peers questions during my first semester and always received thoughtful, smart responses. — Consulting
Stern’s biggest weakness lies in infrastructure: the buildings and IT are lousy. Everything else (education, network, challenge, enjoyment, opportunity, access to industry leaders, location, career support, job placement) is spectacular. All and all, I couldn’t be more pleased with my time at Stern. — Consulting
Stern has a very strong faculty, great students, and one of the best locations in the world. I would definitely recommend this program not only for career advancement purposes, but also as a life experience. — Venture Capital/Private Equity
There�s too much focus on the career-switchers, and that why most of the offers are only entry levels. The situation really vexed me as I am an experienced professional who just wants an MBA education. — Entrepreneurship
Aside from the typical characteristics that make a business school stand out (ie., quality and caring faculty, close relationships to the industry, high student placement, past excellence, etc.), Stern has two advantages over other schools that I personally felt were key: a friendly and collaborative student body and a great location in the best city in America. — Finance
NYU has a distinct culture: cutthroat, competitive, mean, non-collaborative people won’t fit or do as well. — Marketing
Career opportunities were amazing, especially for career-changers such as myself. The community was very close-knit, and I didn’t ever feel like I was �networking.� The academics were also excellent, as we had some of the best teachers in the country as well as what seemed to be one of the widest elective selections. — Investment Banking
The access to people in the business, and by that I mean any business, due to our location clearly makes the Stern experience unique. I have friends at HBS, Wharton, Chicago, and Kellogg who have not had nearly the same experience in terms of speakers coming to campus as well as the resources to network professionally. — Consulting
When I was recruited during my first semester, I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to accept a restructuring offer or a distressed debt internship offer. Being in NYC allowed me to “cheat” and do a part-time spring internship at a distressed debt hedge fund and a full-time summer internship at a restructuring shop. — Investment Banking
The professors and administration made themselves so available to students. In 18 months, I developed personal relationships with administration and professors and expect to maintain those relationships. My husband and I decided to get pregnant in my second year of school and the administration bent over backwards to make me comfortable and help me to graduate on time. — Marketing
Aside from the people, one of the other reasons that I came to Stern was because of the existence of a Luxury and Retail Club. With help from the administration and other club members, I had a chance to help with the club’s growth and co-chair the First Annual Luxury and Retail Conference. I have made numerous contacts and friends because of this club and even consulted to a luxury retailer (Ferragamo) for two months. It is opportunities like these that made me feel like I was going to a business school that offered much more than just a career in finance. — Operations
This is purely speculative on my part, but it seems like many companies recruiting in NYC view Stern as their second choice to Columbia, which means we have fewer top companies recruit on campus and less students selected by those that do come. Also, the professor quality was somewhat inconsistent. — Consulting

SCHOOL COMMENTS
School Comments:
N/A
An MBA, especially at an intense school like this one, is not for everyone. Tuck requires a full committment, and so I would not urge just anyone to go. — Consulting
I had an incredible experience at Tuck in terms of education, networking opportunity, career advancement and the overall inclusive and socially responsible environment. I would definitely urge my friends to pursue their MBA at Tuck. — Finance
I personally believe that Tuck provides the best, most well rounded MBA. Tuck’s program is based on a mix of traditional classroom learning and case based learning, which I believe provides the best platform to learn business fundamentals. — Consulting
My experience during my MBA at Tuck was unique in terms of balacing academic, professional and extra-curricular activities. Because the size and culture of the school, I was able to develop many projects that helped me to enhance my expousure into Leadership and Teamwork issues. — Consulting
There is nothing like being at Tuck. The community is so strong, and you learn so much about business and about yourself in two years. I’m leaving with more confidence, more knowledge and more connections than I ever expected to get from an MBA program. — Investment Banking
Tuck is truly a special place. The faculty interaction with students far exceeded my expectations. Always available to discuss course content, on-going research or current events, I enjoyed many a beer and/or meal with my professors, at both their homes and my own. The Tuck experience is such a personal one, I would not trade my time there for anything. — Venture Capital/Private Equity
Tuck is a very different school due to its size and close knight community. I believe this type of environment to be great for many of my friends, but not all of them. — Consulting
Tuck is a very unique place. It is a challenging and nuturing environment. The small community acts almost like a family and is a great support network. The opportunities are so vast that you have problems deciding what not to do. Academically and professionally I feel prepared to take on any job, and found my experiences very helpful in finding my full time employer. — Consulting
I would definitely recommend Tuck to anyone. In addition to providing a worldclass education,the program offers tremendous opportunities for self-development and relationship building. The community is incredibly tight-knit from the administration to the faculty to the students (and alumni). — Marketing
Tuck can provide everything one needs to grow as a person and business leader. Tuck’ unique size, location, and reputation prvodie an offer that no other top school can match. I fully expect my experience to pay dividends, professionally and personally, for the rest of my life. — Venture Capital/Private Equity
The atmosphere at Tuck is unbeatable. Great people, great surroundings, great overall experience.
Not every person is right for my MBA program (Tuck). If I think a person would like it there, I would absolutely urge them to go, but as a blanket statement I would not urge everyone to apply to Tuck. — Investment Banking
Tuck is absolutely amazing! The environment is extremely supportive yet challanges everyone to a great extent. Further, I think this school’s location not only builds a strong sense of community but also creates opportunities to meet visiting executives up close. — Investment Banking
The small-class size and tight-close community will provide my friend or colleagues a unique MBA experience by maximizing their learning process as well as their chances to find a dream-job. Tuck does a very good job putting students with different backgrounds and nationalities to work together, simulating real-life work scenarios as well as stimulating them to exercise leadership positions in the community. — Finance
I believe there is not a better school than Tuck for an international student with family. The small town environment absolutely enhances personal relationships with both american and other international students, and the extensive contact with nature is by far the most rewarding experience for someone with kids. — Investment Banking
Tuck is an amazing place to go to school. The close knit community really makes the experience that much more special. The professors were always accessible and are part of the everyday community. All the faculty teaches os you get to listen to the best and brightest minds. I would recommend Tuc kto everyone who could get in. — Finance
Tuck is a truly amazing place. I had high hopes for my MBA experience and they were all exceed by the experience that I had a Tuck. The strength of the bonds formed and the personal as well as professional development that the Tuck Experience fosters, differentiate the school from its peer institutions. — Consulting
Tuck is a unique place, and presents a great opportunity to grow in many ways. The faculty, staff, and students are top notch. The academics are rigorous, but the opportunities upon graduation are virtually limitless. That said, Tuck is not for everyone. — Finance
I am extremely grateful for having experienced two years at Tuck. Graduating from Tuck with people of the highest human, intellectual and moral standards is a great honor. Tuck is a very special place I will always remember fondly as having given me the best two years of my life. — Consulting

SCHOOL COMMENTS
School Comments:
N/A
My school location (Ithaca, NY) might not be ideal to some career paths. — Consulting
I was able to realize all my goals through this program. It was a life changing experience. I think that without the Cornell MBA I would not have the opportunities I have today. — Investment Banking
I have met a lot of great friends and got to know many professors. I addition, I learned a lot about myself, which will be a valuable tool for the rest of my life. — Finance
The Johnson School is a wonderful, collaborative, challenging environment. Though the location can be a drawback to some, it facilitates a great deal of cameraderie and allows students to become fully invested in the MBA program in all of its aspects. — Consulting
Program is very selective, academically rigourous, and Cornell’s alumni network is huge and very accessible. — Finance
I feel Cornell offers the best MBA education for the money. The professors are outstanding and the course offerings are amazing. — Finance
The Johnson School has surpassed my expectations. Prior to business school I had hit a glass cieling. The education here has prepared me for a highly rewarding career. Hence, I will recommend it to my friends. — Finance
Cornell offers a tremendous business skills foundation, leadership and character development opportunities, and flexible programing to accommodate and develop any aspiring business leader. — Venture Capital/Private Equity
Cornell was a phenomenal experience. It combines a rigorous academic experience with a fantastic community, dedicated professors, a great breadth of research and professional centers, and great access to companies and networking. I wouldn’t trade it for anyting! — Finance
I am an international student from Japan. For international students like me, the atmosphere of Johnson School is ideal. Students are friendly and matured. They respect each other. For example, when an international student cannot explain something very fluently in English, they willingly try to understand what he/she wants to tell. — Information Technology
The Johnson School is an incredible academic institution. Beyond that, it offers a highly collaborative, intense and challenging environment. It is, in my opinion, one of the best MBA programs in the world. — Marketing
Cornell offers the benefits of a strong name, small size, and dedicated faculty and staff that involve students in the shape and direction of the school. For anyone who wants leadership training, technical skill-building, great job prospects, smart and fun classmates, and a beautiful setting — Cornell is an ideal choice. — Consulting
The small environment in Cornell really make you feel comfortable and the immersion program prepare you well for summer internship. The corporate relationship is also extremely strong. — Marketing
Cornell’s Johnson School offers The best financial aid packages to attract candidates which are the best fit for the school. — Consulting
I would not recommend anyone going to Cornell. The school has it’s positives and negatives but way too many negatives. [Though] There are many ways to get involved academically, such as the school’s hedge fund (the Cayuga Fund),the school culture is weak. The administration is very poor. In terms of career help it is just not there. — Consulting
Cornell is a great place to get an MBA. The class sizes are small, the faculty is available, and the facilities are great. The student body is extremely competitative, but not cutthroat. The administration has done a remarkable job of improving the quality of electives, strength of the alumni network, and career assistance over the past few years. I would highly recommend this program. — Consulting

SCHOOL COMMENTS
School Comments:
N/A
The small program size was a great attribute – terrific attention from faculty and staff plus no ability to fly under the radar. Truly abundant leadership opportunities. — Consulting
Berkeley is a very community-oriented school where students work hard and play hard. There is a lot of school spirit and pride. Because it is a state school, students have to be more involved with organizing so that conferences and other events take place. It’s got a diverse student body and there’s a club for every interest. The professors have a good sense of humor and are able to incorporate that into lectures and class discussions. — Finance
Haas is a very unique business school, really driven by the student body in many ways. For years, many have been drawn to Haas because of its distinctive culture: students from very diverse interests and backgrounds who have a passion to make a substantive difference, not just make the next buck. — Human Resources
I loved my Haas classmates. They were intelligent and impressive, but super laid-back and approachable. I consider them friends and an invaluable network. — Marketing
Classmates were excellent with very diverse interests and backgrounds. That atmosphere was colleagial with everyone contributing to others’ learning. The location is great for access to companies and extracurriculars. — Investment Banking
I had a great experience. I developed personally and professionally and in both areas my expectations were exceeded. — Consulting
Haas is just outstanding. Its a very collaborative environment. Even if we are competing for the same jobs everyone still helped each other during interviews. We believe that we should be accepted based not on how we can beat the other guy but more by rising up to the recruiters needs. — Marketing
. The great asset of this program is people. All top 10 schools have strong academics so the difference in my opinion is about the character of each school. At Haas I found diversity but at the same time a common feeling that people matter the most. — Investment Banking
I found the Haas MBA program to be a great stepping stone for me to move from an engineering/tech role into a finance role. The instruction and networking opportunities were well worth the cost of getting an MBA. — Finance
Haas is a great school to get a job in Sillicon Valley and also benefits hugely from the entrepreneurial spirit of the Bay Area. If some of my friends is looking for a school with that combination, Haas is an ideal place to be. Additionally, the school’s community is very collegial and supportive. — Finance
I loved my two years at Haas. It was the best community I could have imagined that supported me and encouraged me through the entire b-school experience. Coming from a nonprofit background I was somewhat intimidated prior to starting, and the Haas community was so welcoming that I knew I had made the right decision to go to business school and to go to Haas. — Finance
Haas is the best MBA program especially for international students. I could learn so many things from classmates with various backgrounds. Small class size also worked very well for me. — Finance
I was very impressed at the level of education I received at Haas. Honestly, I was not expecting it. The school ended up being perfect for me. — Human Resources
My two years at Haas were two of the best years of my life. I am extremely happy with my decision to attend Haas. I have made personal and professional contacts that will last a lifetime, and it opened doors to new career paths that I did not either know about or have access to before business school. — Consulting
