Any info regarding placements and all.
There is a prof called Dr.Arun Jain who is a kingkong in the field of marketing. Perhaps you can see how he is related (in terms of invovlement) in the Bschool.
Apart from that I would be really concerned on the ROI part i.e. getting a job in the US more than anything else.

Hi,
I have ad admit to the SUNY Buffalo MBA for fall 08. But i am planning to defer it to next year.
SUNY Buffalo Pros n Cons
Pros :
1.Extrremely cheap. the overall tuition for 2 yrs comes to less than 28k
2.in new york state.
3.hence job huntin( especially for finance) is not that difficult. atleast the companies are there.
4.small town. i have hrd from a former student that living there is a pleasure
Cons :
1.Placement Record is not grreat AT ALL. the average salary for a 06 passout is just about 60k. so even though ROI is not abyssmal, still 60k after an MBA is not worth it.
2.its not a highly ranked school at all. in the present US economy scenario, its better to have an mba done from a univ which ppl know and appreciate, than to join some mba school in one corner of new york state.
3.my philosophy: we will do our mba only once in our lifetime( cos most Bschools wont allow u to do it a second time 😃 ).. hence i wld rather wait for a year, and try my luck again at better schools.
Hope i answered some of ur questions..

What are your plans after completing the MBA?
how do you perform in a team?
I have applied to Maryland - R1 - Yet to hear from them
Broad - R1 - No response from them till date
UC-Davis - No response from them
Buffalo - Done with the interview
Me too planning to apply for few other. But confused at this point. Thunderbird is a oneyear program.. Not sure about its reputation. I havent heard abt the rest.

@Ashrut: guess I met you on the UT Dallas thread. Lets ask new posters on this thread which colleges they have applied and rope them in to discuss about those colleges which are common amongst us.
@ Ritish: Good profile whats your take on my chance at UIUC with my profile?
Guys,
Seems like i got an Admit from UB SOM. My first admit
Though i didnt get any official mail from the school, my online application status shows accepted/admitted.
Anyone else whoz on board?

@mba.manish Manish, from what ever i have seen and read You have good chances of making it to UIUC. Even i have applied to that. Keeping my fingers crossed.
hey guys,
I got a reject from broad. i guess gmat was the major constraint..somwhere around 700 would be a good shot..
and congratulations ritish on UB. I think you got your result in 2 days...pretty quick...
@ritish, i am submitting my application this week at UB but they are asking me to mail them my transcripts from the college, which I dont have right now. What all documents had you send during your application?
@manish, yes you stand a good chance at UIUC.
what about case western and william and mary? Are they better schools than the schools I had already applied to?
Ashrut
Ashrut,
Sorry to hear that you got a reject from Broad. When did you apply and when did you get the decision from them? Even i applied for Broad but haven't got any communication from them.
