Hi there,
I am a 28 year old female Singaporean. Graduated from one of the top US colleges majoring in economics 5 years back. I have been working for the Singapore central bank as a financial regulator. I applied to mainly European schools because of the cultural exposure, shorter duration, and relative affordability. I wish to switch to a marketing/ market research/ strategy type of role at an MNC, preferably in the consumer goods, e-commerce or retail sector. I do not want to go back to finance (no passion), and am hesitant about consulting (though the work is fascinating), because I would prefer some stability and work life balance. Pay is secondary (but has to be decent) as compared to job satisfaction. I would be happy to work in the EU, but do not mind coming back to Asia upon graduation. I do not currently speak a European language but I am willing to learn. I am fluent in both English and Mandarin, and had lived a China for a long period of time. My top considerations are financing and whether I can successfully make the switch.
Below are my admission results (only Insead is final, and the other two are my estimates because I applied slightly later). The latter two will be known by this week as the schools promised, and I have to get back to Insead by mid-Feb to secure a place.
1. Insead Franch campus July 2018 intake
- No internship as it is only 10 months
- Consulting focus
- Partial scholarship, loan required
- May transfer back to Singapore campus for recruitment if need be
2. SDA Bocconi
- Internship opportunity
- Industry focus
- 70% - full tuition waiver (otherwise I will unlikely go)
- a special track in luxury brand management that is appealing to me
- 12 months
3. Esade
- Internship opportunity
- Industry focus
- 50% - full tuition waiver (otherwise I will unlikely go)
- flexible duration 12 - 18 months to learn more electives
I was also admitted to LBS masters in finance my employer is willing to sponsor for specialized masters programs, but the sponsorship did not work out. So I will likely reject that offer.
Appreciate your advice guys!! Thanks much!!

INSEAD seems like a no-brainer here. Not sure there should be any confusion. If you wanna work in APAC, nobody would really know Bocconi or ESADE tbh and for EU INSEAD is supreme with LBS.

If money is not real issue for you, I would pick INSEAD for sure. Its name and reputation work in EU and Asia. So in case you want go back to Asia, Singapore campus will be a good support for you. Although marketing is not main focus of school, you can work hard with career service to search alternatives.
