Hi all,
i am in the fortunate position of whether to accept Iese, Insead or Booth (to start sept 2016).
As they are all great schools (and they're 3/3 applications) I am still quite confused.
My profile: european guy, very international, from tech industry
My goals:
- an international career either in a tech or whatever industry firm or consulting, it needs to be multicultural (for example, I would prefer a consulting boutique over a MBB offer that sends me back to an italian office)
- strong network
- reputation of school, especially with HR ppl
- target area mostly Europe but if the 1st goal ie met anywhere
What schools gets me closer to my goals? Any of them meets all 3 goals?
As I see it:
Booth
+ placement and salary
+ top notch education, nice to have but not nr.1 priority
+ reputation among employers
+ selective --> best alumnae?
- 2 full years: expansive in tuition fee and opportunity cost
- american placement only
Iese
+ perfect program length 18mth
+ international and probably the best experience (Barcelona + exchange)
- brand name, do all HR/employers know and value it as much as other top10?
Insead
+ international
+ reputation/brand & consulting placement
- no internship
In other words, I see Chicago as the best school in general but it does not fully fit my goals (I don't plan an American career), Insead seems the one with no weaknesses for my goals but IESE offers a more exciting program.
Looking forward for your advice!
