LBS vs Yale SOM

Question

Need help deciding between Yale SOM and LBS. From India, interesting in consulting/finance. Scholarship decisions are still pending from both (assume none)

yc168 · Answer

Congrats! Both will position you well for your target industry.

I think one of the key factors would be the geography you intend to work after graduation, as well as how easy it is for you to receive work permit.

Yale is good

NextstopISB · Answer

Yale SOM is ideal if you seek an Ivy League brand, a U.S.-focused career, and strong leadership training, especially in consulting, nonprofit, and social impact. LBS, on the other hand, offers global exposure, excellent finance and consulting placements, and a prime London location with extensive international networking opportunities. Your choice depends on whether you prefer a U.S.-centric or globally diverse business environment.

Hi @ StrikingContact,

Don't know too much about India. But where I'm from, the Yale brand name will carry a lot of weight, although people in the know will definitely recognize LBS as an excellent program.

Don't get too caught up by the Financial Times ranking.
