Hello everyone…. I just wanted to thank everyone again for all their help with trying to find a good graduate school. After giving it a lot of thought I think I am going with Northeastern. I know a lot of people on this board will say there are a lot of programs that cost less and are better but overall I think a lot of the schools are about the same. Of course a school like Indiana is ranked above Northeastern but it is about the same cost overall. Also another problem I noted with a lot of programs is that since I would be admitted into the program I would have to continuously go or be dropped from the program and have to reapply. This is difficult for me because I am in the military and with all the deployments. I look forward to sharing my experiences with this board!! Thanks again for all the help!! Dave
You could certainly go cheaper, but you are buying a Mercedes here. AACSB accreditation makes your program among the most respected, irregardless of the "ranking", which is something I personally don't put that much stock in anyway. If you can afford it without going too deeply into debt, you are making a good move.
Thanks guys!! And thanks for all of your help!! Keep up the great work.. this site gives me so much motivation!!
I'd be thrilled to have an MBA from Northeastern. When I was a wee young lad growing up in the 90's, it was the school I wanted to attend. Congratulations on making that big decision. Keep us posted!
Dave, Best of luck - looks like you did your research and found a program that meets your needs. Please keep us posted. Shawn
