Can someone please tell if BABSON (http://mba.babson.edu/) is a school he would recommend to someone pursuing an MBA? What are their reputation among employers? Is the teaching process rigourous enough…etc Thank You.
I can only tell you 2nd hand – went to another school for Biz degree – but historically its been known for a very (as in top) strong entrepreneurial program. I always thought that was an oxymoron (going to school to be an entrepreneur…). Its in the top tier of schools in terms of quality – everyone i know who went there was very smart – but has very little in the way of brand recognition.
I know a few people who graduated from Babson for UG & MBA. A few UG end up on FO Wall Street jobs and MM boutiques. A few more end up in FO jobs in AM around boston. The vast majoirty end up in MO/BO or F500 companies/public accounting. The MBAs i know did it PT so they stuck with their employeer. I would rather have a CFA then a MBA from Babson working in the AM field.
I Know several people who did a full-time MBA at Babson. All but one started businesses while in school and are doing ridiculously well now - talking mid-30’s, high-6 figures and in a couple cases even 7-figures. They ALL said going to Babson was the smartest decision they’ve ever made career-wise. There’s a reason the school has been #1 in entrepreneurship for the past gazillion years. Suckers work for other people. And no, I did not go there.

I’d rather marry Elin once their divorce is finalized, she is much better looking!
