Onlinearora,

Thanks for your note. Based on the Financial Times ranking of European business schools: https://rankings.ft.com/businessschoolra ... l-rankings

Leeds (UK) is ranked 55
Nottingham (UK) is ranked 42
EADA (Spain) is ranked 39
Imperial business school (UK) is ranked 30
SDA Bocconi (Italy) is ranked 21

Thus, SDA Bocconi in Italy is the highest ranked school on your list. Having said this, if you intend to work in the UK after business school, then you might consider going to Imperial business school instead.

If you are choosing between Nottingham and Leeds, I would base the decision on where you want to work in the UK. Meaning if you want to work near Leeds, then go to Leeds.

I would need to learn more about your career goals and your reasons for seeking an MBA in order to offer more advice on your school selection.

Sincerely,

Hello,

I have applied to universities in UK:

University of Nottingham
University of Leicester
University of Southampton and
Newcastle University among others.

I have checked through various league table rankings like Sunday Times Guide, The Economist and various other too however I am unable to make a decision and it would really help if you can share your thoughts on these universities.
I have considered the course content and the post MBA opportunities like (average % salary increase), student diversity and even points like city safety. I have not given a GMAT attempt and more so I do not have the time to apply for the same now.
All the programs are very much alike. and that is why I am facing a dilemma on which program to choose.

Any thoughts would be helpful.

Hi,

It sounds to me like you are trying to make a decision on where to apply. If you are interested in all those programs then I suggest applying to all of them. The real decision making comes when you have been admitted. In the meantime, I encourage you to try to visit these programs if at all possible, sometimes setting foot on campus and meeting current students can help make the decision on where to apply.

Best,

Stacey

"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."
