Already have offers from Yale, Duke, and interviewed with Kellogg 1Y.. although they are all great schools, but honestly can't compare them with INSEAD when it comes to MBA experience.. Yale is prestigous name, but it is can't stand against INSEAD as an MBA, when I look around and talk to people (professional people) they compare INSEAD only with Harvard and Stanford, I mean in global scale. its alumni is incredible, you find them everywhere and in top positions. Duke is great school but again it is not like INSEAD. Plus, the fit factor, I am 29 years old and already have advance degree..so, this what makes me hope to be accepted to INSEAD..
I second this opinion. A friend of mine (went to HBS, turned down scholarship at Wharton) compared INSEAD on par with HBS and Stanford. I think INSEAD is an incredible school because of its global reach. But regardless, all of the schools you listed are great schools and you will get a great experience and education no matter which you go with (let's face it, once you are 3 - 5 years out of school, its all about your track record not about the MBA program name anymore).
Good luck!
