Hi USMBA,
Can you suggest a good way of digging content about what various specialisations offer and what the profile will be after the school ?

Ram,
The school selection will depend on what kind of job are you looking at post-MBA. Different schools have different USP and it makes sense to target schools based on your profile and post-MBA career sought.

You can ask alums from different schools but in that case you need to know a lot of alumni.
The other option is to research the different schools .. look at what the placements have been in the past . which companies came on campus and the faculty.This might be a much longer route!

The list looks good except for the fact that it might be a bit aggressive! You might also want to include some 'realistic' schools and some 'safe' schools in the mix.

Schools on the east coast might be a good bet such as NYU. Other good schools are Chicago, UCLA, Univ of Rotman etc.
