Where do you want to work post your MBA? IE is located in a very fun city, where you can enjoy your time while getting a very high level education.



Hi Tahseen,

I would like to work in Europe/North America post MBA. Madrid can be fun, and that is a factor though not the only factor.

Hi Alantris,

Agree with you. Anyways, IE is stronger in ranking and in my humble opinion has better brand in general. Moreover, IE has an advantage in Latin and Central America.

Among your schools, I would choose IE as it is most prestigious name that could help you inside Europe and Latin America. you can review the career report. I will choose SDA as second choice. I highly doubt that any European school will help you inside the US because the pool of international inside American school are available so why choose applicant from outside. Also, there are some jobs are locked inside US are limited locals to such marketing jobs so even international graduate from American school can't join. I do not know if it is the case in Europe too.

good luck

SDA Bocconi could not give me a scholarship decision and wanted me to wait till February for a decision. Since I couldn't wait, I've chosen to go for IE and have secured my place.

Thank you all for your inputs. They surely helped!

Hi,

Could you please tell me about your experience at IE Business School?

I have an admit from both IE and ESADE and I'm confused as to which one to choose.

Also, now that you've experienced IE, if given a chance, would you want to go back and choose ESADE/SDA over IE?

Thanks in advance!
