LSE vs INSEAD for MiM?

Hi everyone!

I got admitted to the new MiM program at INSEAD and the same program at LSE, and am currently having a very hard time deciding between these two schools. Given that the INSEAD program is brand new, I am not sure what it will be like in terms of output, while LSE is a more developed, older program. Do you think that this is likely to be a big factor for prospective employers, i.e. they would not take the INSEAD program as seriously?

Personally, I've asked around and the consensus seems to be that both schools are nearly equal in reputation, perhaps with a minor edge in the consulting industry for INSEAD. Also, the program itself seems to be far more entertaining and interesting at INSEAD, with multiple locations, travel opportunities, etc., but again, I am worried about what I'll get out of it by the end of the program.

Take LSE. Not only is the INSEAD program too new, but INSEAD is also very overrated.

Sure, INSEAD is indeed the biggest feeder to MBB in Europe - and is so by an entire 6%. Not to mention that LSE isn't even the best for consulting within London. LBS is the gold standard for consulting in the UK - feeding nearly 37% of all MBB hires.
