Do the math.. Include cost of living at both places...

Boston Univ is ok for exec... Ohio as a univ is good.. just like Penn State... So I would go to Ohio

See I'd be careful abt that... I recall now that my VP & CTO is from BU. The guy is a genius... so I do not think that BU had anything to do with it. In all probability it was an exec MBA.

Go Ohio!

Confusing situation.
Boston is good for tech.
Also, I thnk Ohio doesnt have a specialisation in IT. Ohio also have placements limited to the state companies.
I would go for Boston.

Go Ohio!

I cannot find any great differentiating factor between these two schools. If it was me i would have gone to the school which costs the least.

I think in your case it is Boston (if i am correct with the expense calculations )

Hey Suvrat,
I don't know about your career interest brother, but 'consulting' is mentioned somewhere in the discussion. So i searched with the criteria 'consulting' as specialization with avg salary above 75K. I got Fisher in top 23 US schools but Boston University ( if i am not wrong boston college and boston university are different) is no where to be seen. The link is GradQuery 2.0 (c)2004 USN≀. Moreover you can yourself set your criteria at usnews. The link for that is: usnews.com: America's Best Graduate Schools 2007: Business School Search

Hope it would help a bit

Thanks a lot Nitin, I am interested in continuing in Tech business as a BDM. As Boston is a bit tech oriented MBA I am lil more inclined to go for it..not decided yet!
