IE (BBA) vs ESADE (BBA)

I have been admitted to both of these bachelors. (ESADE BBA, IE BBA&LLB)

Based on linkedin, I consider IE as a bit „better“ (pretty similar) compared to ESADE but now I have read that some people in Spain don’t consider the IE BBA as good. Does anyone know the reason for this? Because based on linkedin and Rankings it seems that IE is a bit ahead. (Tell me if I am wrong please)

 

Hey, clearly ESADE. IE bba is priced so high that it is ridiculous. ESADE is a non-profit while IE is profit based... With the money you save, you can travel quite a bit :) Good luck!

 

Thank you for your answer! :) Yeah, prices of IE are pretty ridiculous but besides that it still seems like a really great option for UG. So I don’t really understand the hate 😅

 

Esade no doubts - IE BBA is not a real target for IB (ICADE & ESADE are)

 

At the MSc level, both schools are on par. At the BSc level, despite IE having improved recently, Esade is still a tier above sitting with ICADE when it comes to placing kids in Madrid/London.

 

All Spaniards in my team come from IE, albeit most likely pure coincidence
