Austin GMAT Review

If you are interested in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry, some business schools can provide a direct route to industry jobs. According to Bloomberg, Kellogg School of Management sends the most by far: 44 MBA graduates into CPG.

Other MBA programs send significant percentages of their graduating classes into the CPG space (demonstrating industry connections), or have a class size that creates a significant network of alumni. Here are 10 US-based schools that can provide both, to varying degrees:
- University of Florida: Warrington College of Business Administration - 22%+ (8 grads)
- Wisconsin School of Business - 16%+ (12 grads)
- BYU Marriott School of Business - 14%+ (20 grads)
- Indiana University Kelley School of Business - 13%+ (10 grads)
- Notre Dame MBA - ~10% (10 grads)
- Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management - 8%+ (13 grads)
- UCLA Anderson School of Management - 8%+ (23 grads)
- Georgetown McDonough School of Business - 6%+ (13 grads)
- Ross School of Business - 5%+ (16 grads)
- Haas School of Business - UC Berkeley - 5%+ (13 grads)

Please note that European schools and the Indian School of Business are also strong contenders in this space.

Interesting data from Poets&Quants on the relative popularity of the GMAT vs. GRE for business school applications. According P&Q, the popularity of the GRE among applicants to Top 50 business schools had been going up steadily and really surged in 2020 as GMAC struggled to get its online exam up and running smoothly. Since then, however, the number of applicants sending in GRE test scores has leveled off.

All of the top 50 business schools have more than half of applicants apply with GMAT scores. The business schools that seem to have higher numbers of GMAT-equipped applicants are:

Chicago Booth
Columbia Business School
NYU Stern
Carnegie Mellon University - Tepper School of Business
UCLA Anderson
Washington Foster

Even at Wharton School, Harvard Business School, and Stanford GSB, where the number of GRE submissions have notably increased, most applicants are still relying on the GMAT.
