Re: Said Business School VS Imperial Business School [#permalink]

"Better" is a very subjective and personal word. That said, Oxford has the stronger brand name. Is there something specific you are wishing to study or recruit for? If so, that could help but generally Said is likely the better option if prestige is your concern.

Acceptance by round is not typically available for most MBA programs. Realize it's not advisable unless you have a particularly unique background or critical circumstances to be applying on the later side of the process.

Oxford GMAT range: 580-780

Imperial GMAT range: 600-700

Hope that helps,

Said Business School VS Imperial Business School

Need to understand the below
- which one’s Better?
- acceptance when applying in Round 4
- GMAT score range accepted - precisely GMAT needed for non traditional background profile

Any insights would be helpful.

TIA

Oxford is the better brand and program as well. Usually, 650+ for Imperial, and 680+ for Oxford is what most applicants look at, though things can vary a bit according to the profile and experience.

Though the GMAT/background are good, will need to understand your (post MBA) goals more and how Oxford will come into the picture to achieve them.
