We're kicking off this series of posts on choosing an MBA by addressing what is, from our perspective, one of the least well understood aspects of choosing an MBA, namely going for "ranking" or general school "brand".

Our view is that both these characteristics are NOT the top considerations for a person choosing their next steps in executive education, however we realise that they can be used as a metric for how the whole experience works out for you, depending on what your ultimate goals are.

We are, it must be said, genuinely concerned when a GMAT Zone student or Admit Zone client tells us that they want to go to "an Ivy League school" or a "top 10 school". We fully support people's ambition (and of course, we here at the Zone studied at  schools of this type) to aim for excellent schools, our concern is that "excellence" per se really only matters  when it is relevant and suitable to your career plan. Read on, and see what else we think about with respect to the school's brand and ranking.
