I am currently an applicant for MBA programs in Houston. Just wanted to see what people view as the 3 most important factor during your application process. I will go first.

Program chosen: The University of Texas at Austin, McCombs School of Business weekend MBA program at Houston

Top 3 reasons:

1. Building a network (In Houston, this is a great way to build a network in oil and gas since 50% of the applicants in this program is in the industry)

2. Professors (UT MBA is ranked #1 in MBA professor)

3. Capstone program (Main purpose of the Capstone is to apply your knowledge to real world problem)
