Eric Allen expert Regarding Category: MBA Ranking of schools based on alumni helpfulness. http://econ.st/MNeWyu Thanks to @taimarie.adams for sending my way. No coincidence that many of the schools are on the smaller side. #MBA #alumni

anonymous Thank you for posting useful and informative information. I have been researching programs for months, and this has been one of the better articles. The alumni network is incredibly important at any education level. @eric allen {{ 1429853313211+1-1 | date : 'short' }} Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn
Kofi Kankam expert Thanks for the encouragement, @spencerwilson . We are building this for you, so let us know how we can be better! {{ 1430231261247+1-1 | date : 'short' }} my anonymous likes this Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn
Shannon Lopez This is a really great article and talks about such an important aspect of the MBA experience. As an HBS alum, I was pleased to see the high ranking, although my experience has been a bit different. I have found alums from my undergrad school (Georgetown) far more helpful and welcoming than the HBS alums. Hopefully my next experiences will be better! {{ 1431961213291+1-1 | date : 'short' }} my anonymous likes this Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn

anonymous I know this is bit of a far flung question, but how would one go about learning about the industries within the networks? {{ 1432004423852+1-1 | date : 'short' }} Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn
Shannon Lopez Great question @spencerwilson - Each school has a reputation for the type of graduate they produce, but I find those to be stereotypical and far too limiting. Every school will undoubtedly have representation in every industry, but it sounds like you're looking for certain industries where you'd like to have a sizable network. While graduates do certainly change jobs over time, a good place to start is looking at the most recent class's placement. Just about every school will show, in their profiles section, where their graduates went by industry. Their career services sights will have similar insights as well. Finally, check out the extra-curricular clubs at the schools that interest you. That way, you can get a feel for how prevalent specific industry interests are among the classes. {{ 1432034332303+1-1 | date : 'short' }} my Eric Allen , anonymous like this Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn
anonymous @Shannon Lopez Thank you so much for answering my question. I will be sure to check out the extra curriculars during my search. I have an additional question for the experts. I was advised to contact current students in prospective MBA schools. The goal being to learn about the program by talking with students inside. Do you think this is good advice? If you don't know anyone in the program, what is the best way to meet someone? Thank you for taking my questions. {{ 1432280143186+1-1 | date : 'short' }} Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn
Eric Allen expert @spencerwilson you have a few options - first, try Admit.me. Search for the school name and see if you can find a current student. You could also reach out to the admissions office - some of the schools have admissions ambassadors. You can try to reach out to clubs that may interest you and connect with the leadership at the club. Finally, try LinkedIn and do a search on the school. Keep trying - I'm sure you'll find someone! {{ 1432305050761+1-1 | date : 'short' }} my anonymous , anonymous like this Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn
Linda El Awar expert @spencerwilson another option is to look for local alumni. Many schools have local alumni clubs you can find through online searches. {{ 1432311210620+1-1 | date : 'short' }} my anonymous likes this Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn
