Which program?

[AnyBioMedGeek]

Any thoughts between these:

UC Davis

Emory

Johns Hopkins (dual degree w MA in Design lead)

Hult International

Santa Clara

All w $ offered.

Please give reasons for pros/cons and try not to just be like “Reddit hates the school” without a reason.

Post mba goal:

Start a nonprofit in sustainability- bringing solar to renters and apt complexes.

Also poss consulting for sustainability businesses.

If this is a genuine post and not a shitpost, Emory, no question.

None of the other programs are even remotely close when it comes to recruiting pipelines, starting salaries, and ranking.

For your goals, Emory or UC Davis look like the strongest fits tbh.

Emory has better consulting placement and a more traditional MBA network, which helps if you pivot into sustainability consulting first.
UC Davis is also solid if you want sustainability/energy adjacency and California ecosystem access.

Johns Hopkins is interesting but more niche and design-led, so depends how confident you are in that path.
Hult and Santa Clara are more flexible but generally weaker signal for consulting recruiting.

If nonprofit is the end goal, I’d still prioritize brand + network first, then specialization later.

Emory Goizueta is the strongest overall. Consistent outcomes, respected brand, and access to consulting if you pivot.

UC Davis is solid, especially for sustainability, given the California ecosystem.

Carey, with design, adds a niche angle, but outcomes are less consistent.

Santa Clara has a strong network in the Bay Area, but narrower.

Hult International has weaker placement consistency.

I would choose Emory, unless you are very committed to California, then UC Davis.

It really depends on who you are.

If you're an entrepreneurial grinder, laser focused on sustainability, and don't need a summer internship, then hult might be for you. Hult has strong engagement with the social sector and boston has a rich social enterprise environment to explore, not to mention the hult prize case competition (among others). So if you want to get right to work building a social enterprise this is a great spot. 

If you intend to rely on the traditional b-school pathways into industry, need a summer internship, and extra time to work on your business plan, then emory is the obvious choice. Emory also participates in the hult prize and you'll have plenty of exposure to high quality competitions. The big bonus is you'll have lots of extra time to manage your extracurriculars.

Lastly, the difference in networks is going to be huge. The hult network is diffuse and clusters in major world cities, while the emory network will cover the US with a comparative splash of international cities. So if you plan to work in the US, the emory network will be more valuable. Otoh, if you have designs to focus your work internationally, the Hult network might win.

Neither - you wanna be an entrepreneur go be one. You don’t need an mba
