Hi!

The best way of finding out would be to connect with students who are there now or have just recently graduated. An honest conversation with them is going to be worth more than any other resource. 

Sharing with you also a guide on how to think through selecting an MBA program:


Hope you'll find it helpful.

Best,
Cristian

Hi there,

to assess whether an MBA is the right choice in terms of your goal, I would recommend to first check the current alumni of the target MBAs you are considering on LinkedIn and see where they are working now. I would then select those MBAs with the highest number of people in your target firms. Finally, I would try to organize a call with some alumni to ask information on how they found the application process given the brand of the MBA.

Hope this helps,
Francesco

Hello!

It´s not a "target" school.

To make a better informed/educated decision, i would look at ranks such Financial Times + Poets 6 Quants.

On top of that... is a lot about personal preference. Mine, US.

Good luck!
