The biggest difference between most American and European schools is the duration of the program - two years versus one year. You have to determine which length is the right one for you. Both schools tend to be very global, cover the same materials, have bright and motivated students, etc.

If you call our office, we can provide you with all admissions stats in a couple of days. We are finishing up our stats for this year as most schools have now completed their admissions for this year. I know that for HBS and Stanford, we had acceptance rates of 45% and 40% respectively. Our acceptance rates to less competitive programs will be much higher.

Looking forward to speaking with you.
