Hi Everybody,
I'm facing this dilemma with the deposit deadlines coming up, here's a brief rundown of my situation. My goal is to either comeback to my recent healthcare start up in Saudi Arabia after my MBA or work for a global healthcare company in US/EU or the Middle-east and then found another start up.
Guys/Girls, any advice would be greatly appreciated! Of the six schools I applied to I got accepted by all but one, and have shortlisted the following three:
Oxford ($): Pros: Just one year, Little fin aid, household name in UK/EU. Cons: Very little aid
, Work Visa in UK after graduating seems difficult, No internship.
UCLA: Pros: Entrepreneurial culture, I'm guessing strong rep in Cali, Bunch of healthcare companies to intern at. Cons: Very freakin expensive, might have to sell a kidney or two
Olin: Pros: Some Fin aid, A good MBA program for a foreign student. Cons: Lacks the rep of the other two schools and the things that follow rep.
If anybody can provide me any insights, that would greatly help me in my decision. I'm not aware of the employment statistics for international students ( Indians, specifically ) at these schools, so any such info will be greatly appreciated.

Congrats.
I agree with you. about SAID. the UK market is not comparable to at all the USA market. Also, the authorities restrict visa and will impose more restriction in near future as read in the news.
Although UCLA is better Olin, you do not need to underestimate Olin. I agree that Olin is more regional compared to UCLA. However, both are American and won't help you in Europe. But, as American schools, both will help you i middle east. Olin has rich courses in Entrepreneurship but not sure about healthcare. Living expenses in CA is much higher.
You should also look at the career management in both. I know that Olin has high job placement including international students.

From what I've looked at in terms of international student placements, Olin has a higher rate. But, honestly if I'm to comeback to the middle-east I feel UCLA has a better rep.
if it's a straight shot between UCLA and SAID, what would you recommend? keeping in mind the option to return to the middle-east in the near future.
