Gooodmoring everyone,
in 4 days I have to decide between WHU otto von beisheim and Frankfurt school of management and finance since admitted in both.
I like WHU becuase it seems a place in which I can develope more as 'Human' while Frankfurt seems to be really focused on career rather than personal development.
Additionally I like the idea of being in a little isolated city as the one of WHU campus (Vallendar 8 K souls ) with 1000 of the best german students (even if it seems that real best ones go to mannheim for free and do not pay some 30 k) since it kinda replicate the St gallen set up ( as well in little isolated city)
ABER
I Guess that the city of Frankfurt importance will increase expecially in the next 5 year (brexit and stuff) and the uni as well will get some credit by that
Performances on FT ranking
Frankfurt is ramping up position (from 40ish to 27) while WHU is on a descending trend having lost positions on ranking (from 7 to 16 )
I talked with Phd from WHU that talked about a change in the parameter that penalized a little uni like WHU ( not really convinced tho).
frankfurt 3 year post graduation salaries in financial times is 90 k $ but during masters graduates do part time working so that in reality the post 3 year grad is not with 3 year experience but 5 year
WHU 3 years post graduation salaries is pretty sweet 104 k $ byt declining a litttle bit
( I naturally do not expect the salaries to be that accurate but is good to have comparison on hard number rather than ranking points only )
Fees
frankfurt is 30 k but you can work 3 days part time for I think realistically 18 months that cut down the overall to 12 k
whu is 30 k
My profile
-Italian bachelor graduate from little private university in italy (LIUC) english taught 104/110 that is something like 94 %
-2 excahnge during bachelor in medium level uni (UK , netherland)
-one year of internships post bachelor (Miami 6 months, Italy 3 )
- medium gmat score
-no clear ideas on future employment ( BCG, Mckinsey, Bain ecc sounds ideal but no idea on how feaseable)
-currently improving German with good results, fluent in less than 4 months
-Germany probably not as my final place to live, but definetly wanna start and do my first 5 years in either germany and/or DACH
what should I go for ?
If you have any questions on how the two admission processes are I am more than happy to answer!
Thanks
Don Luchesi
