Hi guys,
I do need some help.
First of all, who I am: Italian male, 30 years old, 6 years work experience, of which 5 in big4 consulting firm.
After my MBA I do NOT want to pursue a career in management consulting, but rather work in the media/tech industry, and I'd like to stay in Europe (so no Asia).
About the schools. I've been:
- admitted to SDA Bocconi (and already paid the 1st installment)
- admitted to INSEAD (moved off the waitlist), they're waiting for my final response
- waitlisted by LBS (my first option)
What do you guys suggest to do? Should I stick with SDA Bocconi hoping to be admitted into LBS, or should I enroll at INSEAD and forget about LBS?
Any opinion would be highly appreciated.
Thank you
Matteo

Hi Mattew
Congrats for all the good news! I've applied Bocconi and waiting for the feedback. I think these schools have their own advantages separately.
I've several friends studying at Insead, as I know it is ranked No.1 worldwide full time MBA study program this year and job placement in Europe is promising, I would suggest you go study abroad in TOP MBA schools to get more international exposure thinking of the chances to work outside of Italy .Since you you'd like to switch the trajectory and Insead is the biggest pool for consulting placement, I think LBS two years program fits better for that goal compared to one year program of Insead. So why not wait LBS few days more, and choose between LBS and Insead. Personal opinion?

Hi Rebecca,
thank you for your feedback and good luck with your application!
I agree with you when you say that, given my goals and background, LBS is a better fit than INSEAD. I would indeed definitely postpone my decision if I could.
Unfortunately I can't: I have to tell INSEAD what my final decision is in a couple of days, and there's no way LBS will let me know by that time.
So, knowing that I'm already in at Bocconi, still a good school, here's my dilemma: idk if waiting for LBS is worth it or just too risky, since I would turn down INSEAD, that is comparable to LBS reputationwise...
