Hi Guys,

Does anyone know anything (other than what's there in their website) about the Carey Business School at the Johns Hopkins University. It's a relatively new business school and I want know stuffs about placements, industry perception, etc.

Any alum who can comment? or anyone who has researched about the school?

Thanks,

There wouldn't be any alumnus of the schools to comment yet simply because there are no alumni of the school yet. :-DThe first batch of the school is yet to graduate so until and unless the batch doesn't graduate, it's difficult to say anything about placement or industry perception. However, John Hopkins is a world renowned university in Medical sciences

Although the first class hasn't graduated yet, we have seen great placement statistics for our internships. Some of the companies we've worked for include Accenture, Acumen Fund, Amazon, Apple, Disney, Goldman, IBM, J&J;, Kiva, Microsoft, Siemens, UBS, the US State Department, and the United Nations.

From what I can gauge, industry response has been largely positive. We may be new, but our program is strong and the Johns Hopkins brand is respected.

@JRP4MBA Hi there. I'm an alum of the Carey Business School and an active one at that. I'd be happy to help shed light on your questions -- happy to take offline if you want to PM me.

Carey is only a new school in so much that we now have our first graduating class of all full-time students. In prior years the Hopkin's Business School was predominantly a part-time program. However thanks to the generosity of the Carey Family, as well as the encouragement of the Hopkins institution (and its great brand) we're now making progress toward becoming one of the top business schools in the world -- in particular, through an innovative curriculum approach.

Many of my colleagues (I'm a 2008 graduate) have gone on to secure great positions and/or move up the ladder at existing companies. Many others (like myself) have taken an entrepreneurial approach and found success starting our own businesses. Overall the Hopkins brand in business is quite strong and my diploma has severed me very, very well.

Hi.

I was very impressed with the innovative curriculum of their Global MBA program and applied for the Fall 2012 intake. Now invited for interview and looking forward to it.

Has anyone else got interview invitation/acceptance?

Hey can anyone throw a light on difference between flexible MBA and global mBA>?

Hi Carey business school is a very innovative business school.It has components of research and business dynamics. So if you want to work for corporates or international institutions like world bank, asia development bank or Int'l monetary fund, I think Carey business school provides a great platform for that. I was a carey alumni and am now helping students to select their right mba programme.So if you have that kind of inclination as I mentioned above, I think Carey is for you. Healthcare focus is also gaining much popularity and bucks 😉 in US. So I think Johns Hopkins is going to land you up in a lucrative career. Average salary is at par with top 10 mba schools and is around 100,000 USD. So see if you match the profile of the program and then apply. Johns hopkins can never go wrong.

Carey looks to be a great school for the future. As for now, I'm unsure. They are in development phase and their Indian origin dean backed out. Surely a top 25 school for the future at worst but I'm unsure about the leverage current students will get.

Also, I read somewhere they have an 80% acceptance rate

hi, i am a current student at carey and happy to answer some of your questions. i was accepted at other top 25 b-schools, but chose carey because it stood out for its mission of teaching business with humanity in mind. I am not sure how much the last line means to you, but it certainly means a lot for me considering i come from a background having strong social emphasis. After having gone to a top engineering school in india, and worked for 6 years in MNCs, i not only wanted to join a branded university - johns hopkins is surely one - but also a program that would be in the top 25 in the near future. jhu has islands of excellence - top medical school, top public health school, top international studies school, good engineering college, and hence cannot afford to have a department that is not top rated. After coming here, i can proudly say that i've made the right decision. top notch faculty (see school website) and great exposure. i don't know where you read about the acceptance rate, coz that's definitely not true. Our class has an avg gmat score of 670, range is pretty large (530 to 780). if you're an asian student then the average score will be around 700. yes, it's a startup, but so was ISB 10 yrs back

@zaarathelab Thanks for your valuable inputs. How do recruiters view the school ? Keeping in mind the poor economy. I feel the school has been overemphasizing its JHU tag but that's probably good if its impressing recruiters. But I'm kind of sick of hearing 'future top school'. I'm going to B-school NOW. I want the benefits NOW, not 10 years later. How has been the industry response ?

@zaarathelab Hi, could you tell us a bit more about the placements, I guess the first batch has now passed out?

Also the scholarships offered, if any.

@BallsOfSteel I believe they still do not have AACSB accreditation yet. This may be holding them back.

It takes a long time for even a University like Johns Hopkins to get a business school off the ground. One thing that helped them along was the proximity to Washington DC and the relativly strong economy the region had due to Government and Government contracting jobs. Problem is now, that with the budget cuts the US has put into effect, such opportunities may be in decline but more will not be known until the next few months.

@Bforce Hi dude...Do you think it is worth applying to their MBA program since John Hopkins university is a very reputed university and is considered very strong in Health/NGO.

Also, the school ethos are very similar to that of Yale. But Yale has a high rank MBA program,JHU doesn't .Do you think it would be difficult for the school to attract employers?
With such a small class size and the sequester effect more-so in DC region..chances of getting a scholarship..would also be less.

@zaarathelab Hi...please respond to my earlier query.thanks

@GMAT_Conquer For Health/NGO organizations, I feel that not all of them will be affected by the sequester as their sources of funding might be more diverse. For example World Bank, UN agencies etc.

But since the issue regarding the sequester is still on-going it is hard to tell what the impact will be on the school and recruiting. But on the plus side, Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York City, did just give quite a large donation to Johns Hopkins.
