Hi there!
That is a tough decision. I hope you are considering factors beyond just the alumni network like program format, culture/community, location, reputation in your target industry, curriculum/teaching style, etc. Booth typically has a higher overall reputation and ranking than INSEAD. Though you'll find that INSEAD's alumni network is more spread out geographically (represented in more countries), so I'm not sure how important that is to you. Both have excellent reputations in Consulting, Booth is definitely not just a finance school.
It's hard to measure strength / quality of the alumni network. I suppose you could use The Economist's rankings:

Have you found them easy to contact / willing to help / easy to talk to? That seems like a good test before you decide.
Good luck!

Hi,
I am a management consultant based in Sydney with over 10 yrs of experience.
I have been accepted in both Booth EMBA (Asia) and INSEAD GEMBA (Asia). While I do understand that INSEAD very strong in mgmt consulting industry and Booth in Finance and Economics, I wanted to understand which school has stronger alumni loyalty. Also, though I do not see myself settling in US, will INSEAD help me in the same way Booth will if I ever do? Could you pls help me getting to a decision. Thanks.
