Hello, Neeraj,

What I can do is give you some criteria to help you decide. First, look at recent years' recruiting at both schools. Which school's recruiting is more in line with your desired post-MBA position/company? That would be a major factor in my view. Similarly, how are both programs adapting to the global economic downturn, in terms of curriculum and recruiting? It's something to consider. Finally, what is your subjective response to both schools? Where would you be more excited to be for a year or two? It's not just a program; it's your life, so your gut response (all other things being roughly equal) is something to pay attention to.

Best regards,

Dear Cindy,

Thanks a lot for your response.

I will follow your advice and do a detailed analysis of both the school. I am a bit skewed towards Cranfield but will take my final decision after doing a thorough analysis.

Your mail is really very inspiring. Honestly, it had activated my grey cells.

Best regards
Neeraj
