Deciding on MPP/MBA Programs


Recommended Posts

Here's my situation: I'd like to get a dual MPP/MBA within the next three years and I'm currently deciding between MPP and IR programs. But which should I choose? I'm interested in pursuing social entrepreneurship in the Middle East. I'm a manager at a social enterprise in the region now, and previously worked in a policy-oriented regional NGO (total of 4 years work experience).  

  • I'm in to UChicago Harris, where I could potentially get an MBA with the Booth school.
  • I'm in to SAIS, which has an arrangement with Wharton.
  • I'm in to Georgetown SFS, which also has a business school.
  • I'm in to Oxford, which is a one year MPP program. I could apply to a range of business schools in the fall, and see where I land in the spring. 

I recognize that these are all great programs, and getting into their associated business schools (or any business school) is no guarantee! Some insight would be appreciated.

Booth and Wharton are highly selective with 20% admission rate. Both are ranked top5. Your best chance would be Georgetown's Business School. I think McDough has an admission rate of 55-60% and is ranked outside top 30.
