Attended Chicago Business School's information session.
The core content included mainly typical ivy-league B-School marketing speech. After months of researching on MBA schools, I do not find the first 1 h 30 minute of presentation particularly informative. The sharing by alumni, 5 out of 6 of them are here for short-term company training and are based in other key financial centres, provide certainly more insights since they are the ones having real personal experiences as students as well as alumni.
Some of my takeaways from the session.
- Be prepared to be always intellectually challenged, sometimes aggressively, during class discussions and lectures.
- Offers very flexible programme, with 11 concentrations and various courses offered by other Chicago schools to choose from.
- 50% case studies, inclusive of some case studies written by Harvard; 50% lectures and other traditional teaching methods to provide a strong foundation of business fundamentals.
- Chicago is one of the best business idea think-tank as evidenced by the many prestigious awards received by their faculty.
- about 50% of graduates are employed in financial sector.
- Have 4 campuses - Full time MBA course : at 2 campuses in Chicago, Executive programmes : at the London and Singapore campuses.
- Chicago city offers a wide array of fantastic activities and entertainment.
- Cost - approximately US$140,000- $150,000 for an average lifestyle.
- USA work visa issue - will be a valid concern for international student
