Hi,
I know that ESADE is well known in europe and has a much higher world ranking than Moore school of business(#2 in International MBA in USA). However here is the dilemma, I was considering ESADE because i want to work in Europe but getting visa as Non european is a nightmare.

Now my company is offering me 50% tuition fee (and I am in middle of my Green Card process )if study at Moore school of business in their part time program. I would be working full time (the pay is good) and the program is well known in US for it's IMBA course.

I am so confused, I have talked to many people and they all(students/alumni/friends) said that getting a work permit in Europe is a nightmare. However ESADE's brand name and strong presence in Europe is making me lean towards ESADE but the risk of giving up a good job 50% assiatnce and green card process in USA is a high stake.

Any suggestions?

Hello,

Many thanks for your question. My name is Jeroen (Associate Director of Admissions for US based candidates for ESADE). The asnwer to yuor question is certainly not an easy, straightforward one. Both options will clearly present advantages. What ESADE can offer you is a completely different experience, where you step out of your comfortzone, to immerse yourself in an international environment. Truly international! Different language, different culture, different experience and students from literally all over the world, with very different points of view. All of this is very much valued by any company that has an interest in recruiting globbaly savvy people. You will set your resume apart from all the candidates who decide to stay domestically. However, nobody can take away the higher risk of the international option. It is certaily a "safer bet" to stay domestically and do a PT MBA; the experience will certainly not be the same but nevertheless this is also a valid option. It is difficult (not impossible though) to work in Europe post MBA and many people return to their home zone for their first job post MBA, and then often afterwards rotate internationally. I would be more than happy to discuss in more detail via phone/Skype etc. I think I know who you are as you hold a deferred admissions from our school, but please feel free to reach out to me directly at [email protected]

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
