Look for a school that is most appropriate for YOU! Such schools like IE, INSEAD and LBS are comparable only to a certain grade. Your descision has to depend on your targets and your possibilities.
In my special situation I picked IE. Despite the possibility to go for INSEAD. LBS, Oxford, Cambridge as well as famous US schools have never been interesting for me due to diiiferent reasons.
Hegemon,
Be great to chat with you after your decision to go with IE. I have my interview with them in a couple weeks, and the school looks great and everything I'm looking for in an MBA. I hear some mixed results from alumni etc about the placements post grad. I get the feeling that lots of the negative feedback is coming from students that don't have the work permits or language skills to work in the EU region because the full reports from the school and other sources are very positive. I have both american and italian passports, so working in both regions is possible. According to the reports, the school has great exposure to jobs in both regions. My spanish is good, but not perfect (one of the other reasons why I really like this program, to get it perfect).
Anyways, again, you can read all the reports you want but talking with someone in the program or recent grad is best. Thanks!
