Hello everyone,
It's my first time posting here. I am a complete newbie to this field; please be tolerant. I am pursuing an undergraduate degree in engineering from a top-ranked school in India. I hope to join a Master in Management program since I don't want to wait until I have enough work experience to pursue an MBA. I am quite interested in entering the Strategy Consulting Sector, preferably at an MBB firm. I have considered the following programs:
1) Duke Fuqua MMS: Foundations of Business
2) London Business School MIM
3) Imperial College of London MSc in Management
4) ESSEC MIM
5) HEC Paris MIM
6) INSEAD MIM
7) IE Business School MIM with specialization in Strategic Management
8) Melbourne Business School Master of Management
I am uncertain which programs I'll get admission offers for, so I was wondering how you guys would rank them with regards to consulting opportunities. I plan on joining the MIM program without any work experience. I have some decent extracurriculars but no relevant certifications, work experience or extraordinary achievements. I hope to rectify that during the master's degree. Given my background, how feasible is it to get into an MBB firm? If MBB isn't possible, what are the best alternatives?
Thanks in Advance for your replies
Stay away from Melbourne Business school and Duke, they’re just cash cows to make money from international students !!
From the other ones on your list
1. LBS = INSEAD
2. HEC PARIS
3.Imperial
4. ESSEC
5.IE
One thing you need to consider though is which one has a bigger brand name in your home country because the chances of getting MBB in a foreign country are slim because of language and cultural fit, even if you were to get into LBS/imperial it would stil be hard to get in because of the cultural fit part
