Where you end up geographically after your MBA depends heavily on which school you attend — and where you want to live.
Proximity to employer hubs matters: Columbia and Stern dominate New York metro placement; Haas, Stanford GSB,
Anderson, and Marshall cluster on the West Coast; Chicago Booth and Kellogg anchor the Midwest; Georgetown McDonough
leads Mid-Atlantic thanks to DC’s government and policy ecosystem.
Visa and sponsorship considerations also factor in — schools with strong international placement signal
global employer networks.
