How To Build A Spreadsheet On Your Target Business Schools - Poets&Quants

Many MBA applicants take a “nerdy” approach to evaluate the business schools they target, both before and after getting admits and dings. The most common way to do it? A spreadsheet, of course.

In the above video, Soojin Kwon, managing director of full-time MBA admissions and program at Ross, takes prospective students through the process of creating a spreadsheet to evaluate MBA programs to help applicants narrow down their choices. She starts with careers and whether the companies or industries you might be interested in working recruit at the school and quickly goes to a school’s offerings in such areas as social impact and entrepreneurship.

Another key metric is a school’s teaching approach. Does the school mainly teach by lecture, case study or experiential learning and how does that fit into what a student might prefer.

Kwon even includes a copy of a spreadsheet to start your analysis:
