Hi folks,

I have been accepted to both IESE and Stern MBA with a scholarship. They are now at the same price for me and I am wondering now which would be the best fit without considering the price issue.

I am Belgian (grew up and work here) and Brazilian thanks to my mother (I speak Portuguese). I am wondering which MBA would be the best to work in Brazil after graduating in consulting (mbb if possible). I now IESE do better in rankings and is strong in south-america but I feel like an American MBA still more prestigious. Any insight on this issue would be highly appreciated!!

Thank you in advance,

Daniel

As a Latin American student, I could only say that almost no one know what IESE is. Stern is not as renowned as Columbia, Cornell or any Ivy League school, but New York University certainly has more clout than IESE. Right now, studying in Spain is seen as weak.

Maybe Brazil in particular is different, but I highly doubt it. You will have to go around explaining how high ranked IESE is, and most will wonder why you just didn't study in the USA.

Hi guys,

Thanks for your answers. I decided that I will go with NYU. After speaking with many Brazilians studying at one of these MBA, it appears clearly that NYU brandname is way stronger in South-America even for consulting.

Good luck with your applications,

D.
