I am a current RSM MBA participant, what are your post-MBA aspirations?
In my opinion RSM has a much stronger brand than Nyenrode which will be very important if you plan to work outside of the Netherlands or Europe.
The program at RSM is very well-suited for a General Management career in any industry, and there is also the opportunity to get an Advanced Career Concentration in Finance, Strategy or Marketing so participants can align themselves with number of different careers.
The program is also well-suited for careers in consulting, entrepreneurship, venture capital or fast moving consume goods.
My class is extremely diverse, over 150 students from 41 countries, so naturally our career goals are very diverse as well. RSM provides a solid platform to suit many different career aspirations so, although I must say I am not overly familiar with Nyenrode, I would recommend giving serious consideration to RSM for these reasons. Although you may have a scholarship from Nyenrode, you may lose multiples of this amount in your career because of the lack of brand recognition of their MBA. Furthermore, RSM has several scholarships you can apply for which are not determined until after the program begins so you may still be able to get a scholarship. Check out the corporate scholarships section on the RSM website.
