SCHOOL COMMENTS
School Comments:
In most cases GMAT is required, there are exceptions though where a GRE can be used as a substitution

s

I feel like I learned so much more through hands-on experiences than I had planned. As a career-changer, I think that I gained quite a bit of experience outside of the coursework. --Marketing

The MBA program at the Weatherhead School of Management is heavily teamwork-oriented and the program is strongly focused on preparing its MBA students to become leaders in this evolving global economy.

The program touts as being strong in health system management which was one of the reasons I choose to attend the school, but it was far from satisfactory. There were only two faculty at the business school who gave health care-related courses, but they were not attuned to recent trends in health care. --Entrepreneurship

s

Career services was inconsistent and provided minimal assistance in both my internship and job search. The program offered little support for non-business degree undergraduates in transitioning to new careers. --Consulting

I found Weatherhead allows students to take on a huge role in the development of the student life and professional development. It is a self starter program, which is the primary characteristic of any successful business-person.--Operations

The Weatherhead MBA is not for everyone. With a large international percentage and a more relaxed atmosphere, someone looking for an edgier experience would probably not like it.--Marketing

s

Information Technology I felt that this program had outstanding teachers who were really able to provide great education. Futhermore, I felt that the other students were talented enough that I was able to learn a great deal from them. I don't feel the MBA is right for everyone, or that the Weatherhead degree is the right MBA for everyone, but for someone looking for a smaller program, with lots of interaction with teachers and students, this is a great school!--Information Technology

I feel I did receive value in my education. --Human Resources
