Hi everyone...
Just got off the waitlist for INSEAD yesterday and I do not know what should I do.. Actually, I can not stop thinking about this!! I got accepted to ESADE two months ago and already paid 13.000€ deposit non refundable and got a scholarship of 10.000€ there.
Where do you think I should go, ESADE or INSEAD? It is a 23.000€ difference between the two schools but INSEAD was always my first option and I have to get back to them on monday with my final decision.
Do you think that the difference between the schools is worth this money? Everyone with an opinion regarding this please help me with my decision.
Congratulations!!!! Now, 23,000 euros is peanuts and the difference in salaries just in your first year post-MBA will probably make up for that.
A real concern might be if you CAN still organise everything in your life to go to INSEAD, mainly because of visas an money. For example, in terms of visas, getting into Singapore will be really easy but, if you are starting in France, at this stage it might be a real challenge if you are not European. And loans take time to apply to. I am not sure if
Prodigy still is accepting applications for instance. Also, do you have a family? Can your partner/spouse change everytyhing now?
On the bright side, if you are single, housing should be easy to sort out in both places. There are poeple still posting ads in the intranet asking for roomies.
