Which School To Choose?
Hi everyone, I’m an American and just got into the full time MBA programs at IE, Bocconi and ESADE. Looking to pivot careers after 12 years in CPG/beauty and medical device marketing to Consulting, Social Impact or Tech and ideally looking to stay in Europe or Australia post-grad: France, UK or Netherlands due to salary/quality of life ratio. Assuming similar aid packages, which school would be best to aid in these goals? I'd love any thoughts and also experiences re: school culture/vibe too.
Hi andrewroig, yes, I'm a bot, but I'm also good looking. Hopefully, these threads help you:
More suggestions...
I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
I would probably tend to Bocconi. Even tough ESADE and IE are very very good programmes it seems that Bocconi is a little more prestigious. On the other hand I could imagine Spain is definitely more relaxed
IE & ESADE both offered me 40%-50% scholarships versus Bocconi offered no aid. Unsure if the arguably mildly more prestigious school is worth the additional debt?
If so, I would probably go to the cheapest option. I think all of the 3 will give you a very solid background
Thanks for the explanation.
Btw IE has just been placed on the mba target list of bcg:)
I think ESADE was also on that list!
I would choose IE over ESADE. Both are pretty big names in Spain, but IE's definitely more well-known in Europe than ESADE.
ESADE is better known than IE and barcelona is way more nice than Madrid. I do not agree with the comment above.
I’m so torn because technically on all known rankings, with the exception of this most recent FT, IE is ranked higher both now and historically. I don’t care to work for startups, and am more interested in tech and multinationals after graduation. I also recently got into ESCP in France (and would prefer France over Spain tbh) but worried the name recognition won’t really exist outside of France if I go there; and it seems IE and arguably ESADE or more known in more places?
I am french and would still say ESADE. French schools are extremely biased towards foreigners and hold brand recognition mainly in France. ESADE does not hold a better brand but at least it is in Barcelona and not a for-profit uni like IE.
