Evaluating Schools
It’s time to set your sights on your next goal.
When you’ve completed your prep work and have a clear idea of your career path, it’s time to set your sights on your next goal—deciding what kind of graduate business school program is best for you.
There’s a lot to consider, from the obvious (checking out prospective schools for their rankings and student life) to the more complex (curriculum and program structure).
The Web is a quick and convenient resource for locating detailed information about business school programs. Start by visiting the websites of the schools that interest you.
Contacting a School Online
If you come across a program that interests you, contact with the school by following the instructions on its website for obtaining information. Your request will turn you into an "inquiry" or "registrant" in the school’s database.
Generally, a school will request your name and contact information, planned month/year of enrollment (matriculation), and the type of program you are interested in (part time vs. full time, area of concentration) so that you will be sent materials that are relevant to your interests.
The Graduate Management Admission Council also offers the mba.com school search service, which can help you find programs that fit search criteria you determine.
