Just found out I was admitted to Kellogg. Already put 5k deposit on IESE (I had to put down by a certain deadline or decline, and didn't know Kellogg status yet).
Currently working in social media for TV and interested in Entertainment/Marketing management, preferably in NYC eventually (but not necessarily immediately). So now I’m a little stuck between these two schools. Money feels like the biggest issue.
IESE
Pros:
-Top 10 in World MBA Rankings
-Got 15k Euro scholarship, making total tuition cost approx $70k. Cheap!
-Cheaper standard of living
-Barcelona is great, access to Europe/Travel, fun life experience
-Learning Spanish
-Unique profile in TV/Marketing may help me stand out in the crowd
-Deposit already in
Cons:
-Might be tough to get ideal internship/job
-Brand name relatively unknown outside of Europe
-Smaller Network, esp in USA
Kellogg
Pros:
-#1 Marketing School in World
- Top 5 school in the US, high prestige
- Large Alumni Network
- Relatively easy access to NYC
Cons:
-Very large price tag - double the cost of IESE and no scholarship
-Chicago winters
-Lose my IESE deposit
-Potentially won’t stand out among crowd of marketers
Help make this easier for me please! Thank you!!

Congratulations on your dilemma. Hopefully easier to untangle than picking between Booth, Sloan, CBS, and Tuck, so thank you for not applying to all of those 
It is EU vs. US. Do you have a work permit in either of these countries?
1. I am not very familiar with EU work permit but that's always a concern and consideration in recruiting.
2. Barcelona and Europe are not exactly in the growth phase of their economies
3. The IESE website does look sexy with all those numbers and seems very reassuring but don't let hope replace facts.
4. If you are planning to work in the US, IESE does not make a lot of sense frankly. If you are planning to work in Europe, then Kellogg is probably not the school to pick
Kellogg
Solid and great school. However, recruiting numbers for 2014 looked a little bleak in comparison to others. Only 80% employed at graduation and 88% 3 months out (usually this is in the 90's). That's surprising and possibly concerning?
IESE
Have 90% employed 3 months out - that's nice but I would want to see more stats about employment in YOUR field and your region.
It is good that it has an internship/summer option and many students do a career change.
Not well known in the US, not as much as INSEAD.
Does have a partnership for a Media program with UCLA
P.S. If you want to be in NYC, why not give CBS a shot? your background is pretty unique already. NYC or LA would be the 2 natural fits for employment/location and recruiting locally is much better and easier than trying to do it from another city or across the world.
