Ich möchte Updates zu der Frage per E-Mail erhalten.

For entering consulting, is top master better than an MBA?

I have a couple of years of work experience and looking to enter MBB at consultant/associate (post-MBA levevl)

Not top ranking MBA: Mccombs/Foster/Emory/USC/UNC tier
Top ranking master: Michigan Ross/CBS/MIT/YALE/UvA tier

Question back to you is this- are you trying to get into MBA or Masters to then later get into MBB/Consulting (which may or may not happen) or you genuinely want the extra education at this stage to fill skills gaps, learn new things etc? You can see clearly which option will drive you to be committed and enjoy the journey.

Looking at this superficially, if you have the time and money and top ranked MBA will take you places compared to a Masters.

All the best choosing.

Hi there,

Personally, I would go top Master over an outside top 20 MBA. The $$ spent on an MBA is questionably worth it (at best) if it's not a top 20 MBA.

No brainer to go MIT/Yale over any of the MBAs you listed.

I was just thinking that with MBA you can recruit for Leadership Development Program and MBB Consultant level. While for Master and only 4 YOE, not sure if they would take in at Consultant level and need much networking.

Getting into a non-top MBA school is most likely not worth it. Of course do some research on their exit options (i.e. what % of the class is getting into MBB), but my perception is that it is a low %.

Top ranking master would be better. UVa, of course is the best option, ;) but MIT, Yale are also good ones.

But honestly, if you are considering Non-Top MBA… make the effort and try to get into a Top MBA. That's the real best option.
