<p>I have been accepted into engineering at Vanderbilt and Cornell. As of right now I am planning to go into an MBA program following my undergraduate studies. In your opinion which program would offer some of the better connections into the better MBA programs (Sloan, Harvard, Wharton . . .)? Also, will Vanderbilt’s premier status in the South provide any benefits for when I seek that 1-2 year work experience necessary prior to getting into a good MBA program. For example: Will I get a job from Vanderbilt easier, than if I tried the same from Cornell. Thanks!

<p>haha like we know the answer to that… if your that into it perhaps go to barnes and noble and look it up?</p>
<p>don’t you work at B & N?</p>
<p>haha how do you know that… yes i do.</p>
<p>ohhhh right facebook
duh</p>
<p>Future010 - take a look at your B-school list - while not a big deal, the Ivies do tend to prefer their own. So, Cornell might give you a slight advantage. </p>
<p>Also, don’t expect to get into that level of b-school with just a couple years of experience (especially as an engineer) you’ll want to show some management history - give it 5 to 6 years. (For example, see the Wharton FAQ here: <a href=“http://mba.wharton.upenn.edu/mba/admissions/faq/#Q7[/url]”>http://mba.wharton.upenn.edu/mba/admissions/faq/#Q7</a></p>
<p>Also - if you’re from the south you might find a bit of a cultural disconnect when you hit the east coast - I’m from Cincinnati (not really the south, I know) and sometimes these people out here drive me nuts.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
