<br />
Personally I chose my target school based on following criteria<br />
<ol><li>First and the foremost the alumni reach. How strong the alumni and its regional presence keeping in mind the destination where you plan to continue post-MBA</li>
<li>Faculty.This is important in a way because renowned faculties can at times help you in finding a job</li>
<li>Core strength of the school. Team should have a well balanced focus on leadership,teamwork and global perspective which are three important criteria to succeed.</li>
<li>Fees: This should not be too important as good business schools have tie-up with some financial institutions which can provide loan at a minimal rate. This is not because you are privileged but because they trust the strength and the reputation of your future B-school</li>
</ol><br />
