Congrats on your admits - we have had a few similar questions/discussions about the impact of the COVID-19 on the admissions decisions - take a look at this one: https://gmatclub.com/forum/deferring-du ... 18962.html

Where would you go/pay deposit to if it were not for the Corona?

I had almost pinned down at Cranfield, courtesy gmatclub, but then I got news about my admission to IE. I am yet to submit scholarship essay to IE as I had not anticipated selection in it.

Its a tough decision whether I should go for IE that is better ranked, widely recognized in Indian market, nicely connected to most sought-after MNCs, or
Cranfield offering much better ROI (within 2-3 years), extended stay post-MBA (if new graduate route becomes effective), good networking opportunity in SCM field.

But, all of a sudden these points are appearing baseless unless economy miraculously bounce back quickly.

What if you get a nice scholarship at IE? Would that change your decision? What if you can leverage that scholarship for Cranfield?

Also, is either of them a 2-year program?

P.S. I hear you about the economic turmoil. Right now things look bad but it may be different in a month or even a few weeks. 2 weeks ago a lockdown or taking GMAT at home was unthinkable. Right now both are a reality.

Already trying to leverage that scholarship at Cranfield, using BU's offer. If I get similar one at IE, I may incline more towards it. Now, kindly pass on some words of advice as well BB :cool: .

Regardless of the virus situation, I would be cautious hwen dealing with UK schools after the Brexit. UK's economy was not that healthy to create new jobs. I advise you to check with current students there. You can read reviews about Cranfield in below

Good advice Mo2men - always helps to speak to the current students who are on the ground - they can get you the latest and real information as opposed to the employment report from a year ago.

I don't have much else to really say. Here is my guide/post about Scholarships and negotiations: https://gmatclub.com/forum/negotiating- ... 12949.html hope it comes in handy and good luck! This is a hard decision in a very foggy world. I feel for you. If you have any other thoughts or ideas or updates, please post in the thread.
