Hi All!
Glad to find this thread. I was not too sure if there were many people applying to this school!! I am an Indian female candidate with 5 years of work experience in risk management domain.
I have a quick doubt. I need to decide between two schools and I am quite confused to be honest. Your views will be appreciated.
I have an admit to one year program at ISB and two year program at Babson (with full scholarship)
ISB
Pros- One year program, global ranking, job prospects
Cons- Lack of diversity and international exposure
Babson
Pros- International exposure, diverse class
Cons- 2-year, Job prospects after the MBA, school recognition in the US
I plan to work in the product development/consulting/risk management/insurance field after graduating.

I think this decision will depend on what you value -- and your gut will usually know what is right. If I were you, your con of "job prospects after the MBA" would concern me a lot personally. I am choosing Babson over higher-ranked schools in part because entrepreneurship is my goal. But if you're looking for name recognition, it matters where you want to be after graduation. I hope that helps at all! Feel free to message me if I can help further.
