INSEAD MIM vs LBS MAM

Question

I have been accepted into the INSEAD MIM and the LBS MAM (Analytics & Management) but I can't decide between the two...

I'm not 100% sure what career I want after, but probably will try either consulting or corporate/scale-up strategy. I don't need sponsorship to work in EU or UK, so that doesn't matter.

Which one would you choose?

Hello maioresa,

First of all, congrats on being accepted to both of these great schools!

Could you share your GMAT score and a bit about your profile?

Also, which industry are you aiming for after graduation?

INSTEAD over LBS anyday
Better international exposure because of campus in different countries, better culture, less expensive, better ROI.

also can you please tell about the application process you went through 
and your academic and professional background before applying 
I also want to do MIM in data analytics, so I want to know more i can about this

Thank you! My GMAT was only 625, so not super strong there. Undergrad in biotech and 1 year work experience in a management role at my undergrad university.

Not sure yet which industry I'm aiming for post-grad, so want to keep my options open as much as possible.

I do like the Singapore aspect of INSEAD, but London over Fontainebleau...

Both had fairly similar processes. INSEAD was the written application and references, then the Kira interview, and then was progressed to an alumni interview. LBS was the same but no Kira interview.

Academic background is undergrad in biotech, 625 GMAT, and 1 year work experience at a university.
