Hi all,
I have been accepted into all 3 schools and now I need to submit the deposit amount in this week and having a hard time deciding:
1. IE - 15% scholarship
2: ESADE - No scholarship
3. SDA Bocconi - Awaiting scholarship decision
The things that are important to me are:
1. International brand name recognition.
2. Strength and support of career services. Besides personal growth, ultimately I'm going to Bschool to get a decent paying job/career.
3. The fun factor. I missed going to college full time so this is important to me as well. An MBA is a once in life experience and besides academics, I want an experience that's memorable and fun as well.
Given that I have no scholarship from ESADE, I'm prepared to drop it from my list unless there is a very strong reason for me to choose it over the other schools.
Between IE and SDA, I'm still awaiting the scholarship decision from Bocconi and don't think I'll receive one soon enough. However, despite the IE scholarship, Bocconi tuition is still cheaper given the price difference between the two schools. So even if I don't get a scholarship from Bocconi, it is still slightly cheaper than IE with the scholarship.
I'm Indian with a Canadian permanent residence with a background in Marketing and preferably would like to work in Brand Management/Consulting post the MBA. The third option I'm interested in would be entrepreneurship.
I need to put down the deposit by the end of the week to secure my scholarship with IE. I'd appreciate inputs on my present dilemma and would appreciate if you guys could help me make the decision.
Thanks!
