Hello
I have admits from Tuck (starting Aug 2018) and INSEAD (Jan 2019 intake). Please help me out with the pros/cons of each.
32 F Indian
Working in the US since 6 yrs (currently on H1B, 2 more yrs left on H1B visa)
Current job: Healthcare Consultant
Education: MS (MIS), BTech (Electronics and Comm Engineering)
Post MBA goal: healthcare/ entrepreneurship
Tuck
Pros: 2yr program gives more time to learn and recruit, slightly more relaxed than 1 yr program, highly recognized brand within US, very collaborative Tuck community and engaged alumni network, small class size
Cons: V. Expensive
I'm confident that I will get a good job offer post graduation, but highly unsure about the US visa situation, and if I would like to spend another decade living a travel-restricted life of an international worker in US, until I get a GC. Also, not hell-bent on settling down in US.
INSEAD
Pros: cheaper than Tuck, lower opportunity cost (1yr vs 2yr), opportunity to recruit for multiple geographies, ranked #1 in international MBA rankings
Cons: V.intense 10-month study schedule
Unsure about the brand value from the perspective of international companies like Roche or McKinsey
I would like to know your thoughts on how the INSEAD brand, culture and education compare to that of Tuck (or top 10 US schools).
Also, how well-recognized are INSEAD and Tuck outside US?

I would view this as a choice between pursuing a career in the U.S. and a career in Europe/Asia. For the U.S., Tuck is the better option. The Tuck network is concentrated in the U.S. and well-connected. INSEAD is fairly unknown in the U.S. and the network is small; anecdotally, I only know one person in my professional network that went to INSEAD, whereas I know multiple that went to Tuck. For Europe or Asia, INSEAD is going to be the better option. In Europe, INSEAD is known as one of the premier business schools and they send most of their grads to either Western Europe or Asia Pacific. Tuck is not well known internationally.
All that said, if you went to one and decided to work in the geography that it is not primarily associated with (ie. go to Tuck then work in Europe), you will still be fine. It will just require more work on your end to connect with alumni and job opportunities.

Inside the US I'd say that Tuck would be better recognized, while outside the US it would be INSEAD quite comfortably. Overall I'd say INSEAD has the slightly stronger brand overall.
The other thing to note that you mentioned international companies Roche (which is Swiss) and McKinsey. These are prime INSEAD target employers.
