Hi, Ankit--

I'm afraid I'm not terribly familiar with those programs but I do have some thoughts.

- SDA Bocconi is probably the program with the greatest intertnational prestige but that --as I have said over and over in this forum and others-- should not be the main driver of your decision.

- A much better driver, is thinking about "fit" which includes:

- What language do you want to study in (English? English and Spanish? English and Italian?)? The fact is that, even if the program is officially in English, some part of your daily life will be in the local language.

- Where do you want to live and where do you want to work?

- What are the sizes of the programs? Are they embedded in larger universities? Does that matter to you?

- What about the teaching style?

More research and reflection by you is required to choose a place that is a good fit both for your studies and for the career that your studies are presumably preparing you for.

Cheers and Good Luck--

Paxton

Keep me in the loop about your thinking and let me know if you have any more questions.

"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."
