Prospect in IB-M&A:

HHL is definitely far behind FS, WHU, HSG & co. Would not spend the money. Even public schools (Mannheim/LMU) place better


What about consulting? I saw many HHL grads at top consulting firms in the German offices. I have a waitlist for the MBA at WHU and an admit at HHL and FS. HHL is with a scholarship so leaning towards that

 

If you opt for a private university in Germany, then essentially only WHU makes sense. Even Frankfurt School I would already place significantly behind various public universities in this region, such as HSG, Mannheim, WU, RSM, etc. HHL is a pure waste of money and barely known in Germany. The only relevant placements were at some Tier 2 consulting firms mostly during a consulting bull market.

Damn. So HHl is not good at all? I had already said yes to them and had found a lot of alumni at MBB, Roland Berger and also at German multinationals like DHL, Allianz etc
