Quick analysis:

Time: INSEAD - 1 year
Tuition Cost: INSEAD - 12K scholarship
Cost of Living: INSEAD - 1 year
Post-MBA employment: INSEAD - Consulting
Location Advantages:
- YALE - US, Canada
- INSEAD - US, Canada, Europe, Asia, Latin America
Rankings: INSEAD

The consulting world knows INSEAD very well. I have been in touch with MBB employees in Canada and the US who graduated from INSEAD.

The question is whether you know very well what you want to do post-MBA. INSEAD's intensive program will probably leave no chance to research other industries. If you are a young professional and not 95% certain what you want to do,I would suggest taking the Yale route. The two years will be helpful to understand yourself better.

I would go with INSEAD here, Yale is a great program but it seems based on your career trajectory and the clarity here plus the financial benefits of going with INSEAD has me leaning this way

farrous13 brings up a great point on 2 year vs 1 year programs, and the ability to test out a new industry/function during the summer internship period if you have that time.

Both schools will give you strong consulting options. I will say that Yale recruiting into Canada for consulting roles has been really strong, across MBB as well as non-MBB firms. They definitely recognize the Yale SOM MBA as a degree; I don't think the branding there is something you need to worry about. Happy to connect you with some classmates in consulting/Canada to chat more about their recruiting processes and their internships/jobs, if that would be helpful. PM me.
