Well that is completely subjective. For me, Darden would be better because I live in the United States and have zero expectation of moving outside of the country. However, for someone else, Oxford may be better because they have aspirations of living outside of the USA in which case, I feel Oxford has more recognition.

Again, this is completely subjective though.

Both are great schools. I was accepted into Oxford with $$$$. There are some key factors to consider:

A. where you want to work after your MBA
B. Your age (if you are older than 30, then a 2 year MBA may not be the best idea)
C. Where you've built your network so far

Oxford's MBA is good, but Oxford is known primarily for its Undergrad, not its MBA.

That plays a big factor in the scheme of things.

Hope this helps

Hey! You never want to go to Darden if you plan on working in Europe and majority of Asia over Oxford.
I hope this is helpful!

Which is better?

Hello help151,

Both are competitive admits but which is better truly depends on where you would like to settle down.

Good luck!
