IE MIM vs EDHEC double degree vs HHL vs Hult

Question

Hi,

I've received an admission offer from all listed schools and I am still waiting for results from SAI schools.
I am confused to which school to decide to continue with.

My first preference is to secure a consulting job at a major consulting firm anywhere in Europe, post graduation.
IE Business School had been my first choice earlier due to its Top 3 ranking and overall brand. However, I do not have enough information about current condition of Spanish economy and I am concerned about employment opportunities post graduation, given my status as a non-EU resident.

Given my goals, please help me decide the most appropriate program. Individual school fees are not a concern to me.

- IE Business School - Madrid, Spain
- Hult International Business School - Boston, USA
- EDHEC Business School - Lille, France
- HHL - Leipzig, Germany

Any help or opinion is appreciated.

Much thanks!

Which languages do you speak?

Especially given that you aim for consulting, the language skills will be more decisive than from which school you graduated.

eduaudax  I do not have language skills required by European countries. However, I intend to learn the language(s) as soon as I have finalized a school.
Can you please suggest me a school to pick for MIM, considering my status as an Indian and aim to work in Europe post graduation?

TIA!

First off - drop Hult. It's not close to any of the other 3. Whereas they have slick campuses and amazing locations, they simply get those who can pay and will provide scholarships to anyone with good GMAT scores to drive up their average score. This is my own experience (I got 30% off my 710, but I declined). The smart people that decided to go there came away with a great experience, but did not learn much and had to deal with a big gap in skill within the class.

All 3 other schools are great, and all 3 allow for entrance into a consulting job. Of the 3, IE is definitely the best rated, and the only one in a capital city. But the language could be an issue - I have no idea.

That's all I have for you here! Good luck!

Hey,

WHU would be a good option. The school has a pretty strong brand name is one of the best schools in Germany. Besides, Germany has good immigration laws and economy, so it will be easier to get jobs in the country.

IE is definitely a good option, but due to Spain’s stagnating economy and poor immigration laws it will be difficult to find jobs there. If you want a more international degree you can go for it, but you won’t have a lot of time to network and make the most out of the degree. 
HHL is a decent option but it doesn’t quite match up to the other programs mentioned here, Also Leipzig is not an economically thriving city. 
Among the 4 programs mentioned, Hult is the worst from every angle.

So, if you want to live in a stable place where you can work and network, then WHU is the best option.
