Hi!
So far, I have applied to the MiM programs at LBS and IE and have interviews at both places. I had also planned to apply to LSE but have held back on the same for now.
I plan to get into the marketing field but am quite open to considering consulting as well. If I get into LBS, for me at least it will be a no brainer. But in case I had to pitch IE MiM with LSE MiM, what would you recommend? I'm a little confused. IE MiM does not feature on FT's rankings at all, but is slightly above LSE on the QS rankings. Also, it has a pretty great Marketing career report and allows me to specialize in a year itself, with lots of other options. LSE, on the other hand, I feel is a more generic, and from what I've heard, extremely academic course. It still is a great option though and I realize I am in a position of privilege to be confused between the two.
Also, location is another aspect. While the UK is definitely doing better off than Spain right now, should that be a huge factor? I have no knowledge of Spanish, and maybe that will restrict me from getting employment in smaller companies/start-ups in Spain. As opposed to that, I have the whole market available to me in London.
Any thoughts? I would love an opinion on this.
