INSEAD MiM vs LBS MiM [#permalink] New post   13 Apr 2021, 05:29
Hi all, I have received offers from these programs and am completely undecided on where to choose. I have 8 days to make up my mind. I want initially to go into management consulting but long run see myself entering entrepreneurship and starting my own company. I live in London and am from a British undergraduate university. Not sure where I see myself working in the future, wherever the best offer is I guess. I have no corporate internship experience so maybe the integrated internship of INSEAD is the right choice. I’m a little concerned though, as, obviously insead mim is new so there is no track record and no career reports or rankings. If anyone could offer insight or advice that would be AMAZING! :)

Don't think you can go wrong with either. LBS has a lot of focus on Consulting for sure, but the recruitment starts pretty soon into the course. I guess in INSEAD, you would also face the language barrier. That might be something I'd think about. I personally chose LBS, but didn't apply to INSEAD.

I agree with the above poster that you really can’t go wrong here. Without experience, the opportunity for an internship at INSEAD could be a valuable resume builder, and the INSEAD name is so strong that I imagine it will transfer to the new MiM. On the flip side, LBS is more of a known entity. Keep us updated with what you decide!

Hi all, I actually got an offer from HEC-Yale M2M program and so have decided to go with this one, I felt that the opportunity to work in the US potentially in the future was to good to turn down as well as the brand names of 2 top unis on the CV. Let me know what you think of the choice :)

Okay, so in my opinion.
I would say INSEAD is definitely a big score. And you nailed it. Getting into INSEAD definitely means a haywire of goodness. INSEAD is a brand name so it does exactly matter whether their program offered is new or not. You will never go wrong with INSEAD. However, the language barrier will be a great destruction. Firstly, if you are seeking consultant role. It's gonna be difficult to get job in French market without having atleast B2 level French knowledge. So mind this before making your decision. If you can hang onto French language, then definitely INSEAD should be the choice. Otherwise, LBS is definitely a holy Trinity. Bigger brand, greater ranking, better employment opportunities. So take is yours.

Incredible!!! That is literally the best of both worlds. Huge congratulations; you must be thrilled.

Didn't saw the username earlier. But the program you chose is definitely worth it. Congratulations

For a MiM degree, I would certainly say LBS. Insead's program is new and has few alumni. For MBA, I would pick Insead. Insead MBA is their flagship program and most of the efforts are made over there (logically).

Hi all, I actually also got an offer from both INSEAD and LBS (MiM), and decided to go with INSEAD, as:
- the INSEAD MIM enables all students to live in at least 2 continents with the 6 months in France and 4 months in Singapore
- my main concern was how new the INSEAD MiM was, but the results of the first cohort were so impressive that this concern is now gone (I saw a post that said out of 90 students, 21 got into MBB, and that of course not all 90 students wanted to do consulting)
- after talking to several students on both programs, I just clicked better with the INSEAD mindset, and was impressed with their enthusiasm and school spirit

Honestly, I would also understand if someone chose LBS, it’s mostly about fit at this point
