Which MiM? IE, ESADE, LBS, Imperial

Hello all!

I have applied to the following: IE (MSc International Management) - Accepted ESADE (MSc International Management) - Accepted LBS (MSc Management) - No response yet Imperial (MSc Management) - No response yet

I am 24 yo from Europe and I have an undergrad degree in Economics from ~top 25 US school, 3.5 GPA, 690 GMAT, 1-year experience in a tech company as a Business Associate + 2 internships.

My goal post-MSc is to join a top consulting firm (think big 4) in Europe and I don't know which of these schools/programs would be the best option. I have no prior experience in consulting.

I have two weeks to respond to IE and ESADE, but still haven't heard back from UK schools. Between the two I am leaning towards IE due to location and better rank. I have a very limited knowledge of spanish so I'm afraid that Spanish schools will only offer a good network of Spanish companies where I won't be able to work.

Would love to hear about networking and job prospects in all of these schools. I am afraid being in Spain might restrict job opportunities later on. Also, any opinions/predictions on whether these schools might accept me or not.

Thank you!!
