[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this younger, bro-ish type of guy who (I'm not kidding) brags it only took him one year to complete his MBA from Northwestern. He was in their one-year MBA program. There's just no chance he did well on his GMAT, so I assume the standards much lower for this, i.e. they're not as prestigious?  But then again, nobody would know the diff if you still get to put MBA on your resume.

Northwestern has a one-year journalism master's program with a decent track record. If the journalism alumni do OK, it seems reasonable to think the MBA program alumni could do OK.

Possible advantages of going to Northwestern:

- Evanston is safe and nice.

- The parts of Chicago that might be relevant are safe and nice. Anyone who could survive in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood can handle Chicago.

- Chicago has a great, varied job market.

I think the disadvantage to attending Northwestern is that the people outside Kellogg might be too much in love with Chicago and the United States. People who really want to end up in London or Tokyo might be happier at a university where people have a more cosmopolitan outlook.[/quote]
