MBA recommendation letters are one of the most misunderstood parts of the application process. Many applicants focus on choosing the most senior recommender — when what actually matters is specificity, credibility, and examples of impact.

This is to help me make my decision of where to matriculate so input would be much appreciated.
If we disregard 'oppourtunity' as a factor...
If someone went to an UE or E school, and got a job in say, Hong Kong, Singapore or Japan, would their salary be any different from someone who went to the best school in Hong Kong, Singapore or Japan if they were hired in the same position and the same company?
The reason i ask is considering that on average ~5% of grads from UE or E schools go to with salaries between $50k-$120k, and schools such as HKUST who predominantly place people in Asia averaging salaries in the middle of the 50-120k range there doesn't seem to be a cost benefit.
In terms of opportunities, HKUST also have the financial powerhouses on site due to its reputation in finance (although i'm not interested in this aspect) and some of the major consultancies (McKinsey, Booze Allen) have recruited last years graduates as well.
So I'm beginning to think whether opportunity cost is worth it if the end result is similar if i was accepted into a E or UE school.

toga, personally, if you never plan on working in the US markets for long periods of time, and the salaries and opportunities at HKUST is the same as UE/E's from the US, then I would easily pick HKUST.
But if you want to venture into US markets in the future, then UE/E's might be worth the opportunity cost... just my 2 cents.

Yeah, that`s what I`m beginning to think.
There are less companies who go to HKUST, the ones who go to the UE & E schools are companies that i`m not particularly interested in. But there maybe that opportunity that arises from the UE & E..
