I am quite fortunate to have been admitted to all 3 business schools but i would like to ask some of you, including admission consultants for their professional opinion.
My background:
M/30/Engineer/Ivy/Pharma industry. Currently in Sales/Marketing role.
Quite keen to get a job in London once i graduate. I am quite open to either strategy/management consulting or join industry in business dev/corp strategy role. Not too sure about I-banking but would not want to completely eliminate that option.
What do you all think about the overall prestige/reputation of these schools ?
Initially, I thought that IMD would be the best bet, but i am not quite sure about how well does IMD place people in the UK. Can any current student or alum comment on this?
INSEAD on the other hand places students really well into the UK ( almost 30%).
NOw, the only reason that columbia comes into the mix is because i have been told over and over again that you must attend the best B-school that you get into.
So, i guess its between Columbia J-Term or INSEAD Jan start. If i do choose Columbia, I understand that i might have to get an initial gig in NYC for a couple of years before transferring to London. But is Columbia better than INSEAD ?
Any advice?
Thanks
