I already got an offer from
1) Imperial: Masters in Business Analytics - has been there for a couple of years now, good reputation and job placements.
2) Duke Fuqua: Masters in Quantitative Management: Business Analytics (MQM) - not really sure about job placements and how technical is the program

And already interviewed with
1) LBS: Masters in Analytics and Management (MAM) - the first batch for the program in 2019, but its name is very enticing
2) Columbia: Masters in Business Analytics - second batch of the program with location right in NYC.

Want your opinions on this and if you were me, which school would you attend?
In terms of education and connection, which one would be the best?
(Assuming I would be getting the offers from the remaining two as well)

I would see myself in Tech industries (preferably data-driven organizations) and any job opportunities abroad are fine for me (no preference on US/UK)

Thank you in advance. :D

Congratulations on your admit in Imperial and Interview with LBS. Both are good in reputation and alumni network, but LBS is much ahead of Imperial in Rankings. LBS seems to be top 10 ranked for the last decade.

Thanks on that. I think the fact that the programs are relatively new is the reason why you only see Imperial on the business analytics 2019 ranking.

I would be the first year for LBS MAM, the second for Columbia MSBA, and the third for Duke MQM.

I think LBS's program contains more of the management components, like 60% analytics and 40% management, while Columbia's is more technical.

Depends on where you want to go after the course. If London/Europe or arguably anywhere outside of the US - I would favour LBS. If you want to work in the US - go with Columbia.
