Hello,
I am in the process of applying to a full time MBA (September 2019), and I am divided between to schools, hope I can find good thoughts here, that can help me making a decision.
Profile
Portuguese women - 28 years
Master in Pharmaceutical Sciences from University of Lisbon, Portugal and 5,5 years work experience.
I worked the first 2 years in Portugal and in January 2015 I moved to Norway to start work in a pharmacy from Boots Norway. I am a pharmacy manager here since Aug. 2016.
Post MBA goals
First, I intend to change my job function. I would like to leave Norway, but remain to work in Europe. I see myself entering a larger organization, possibly a multinational company, and I keep my options open whether it will remain health related or not. I see myself having a leadership function, managing one or various teams and being challenged everyday.
What I was looking for:
- 1 year program
- good value for money
- good ranked school, in Europe, that has a good % of women
- my boyfriend, who is also a pharmacist, is moving with me, so it is important that the native language of the new country is English or Spanish.
After some research, my top 3 is IE Madrid, ESADE Barcelona and Cambridge JUDGE, and after some though I am now focused in the two schools in Spain, as I feel It will give me and my boyfriend more career opportunity.
IE Madrid
PROS
- Higher ranked than ESADE
- IE is a University VS ESADE is a business school
- Employment report shows higher salaries across the board
- a larger number of multinational companies are situated in Madrid
- campus is in the center of Madrid
CONS
- around 3700 € more expensive Vs ESADE
- possibility of extending to 15 months with internship, but as an extra cost (we have to pay around 5000€)
- I have not been impressed with their responsiveness and treatment throughout the admissions process.
- I have heard through a friend that their Career Centre could be better..
ESADE Barcelona
PROS
- Internship opportunity without extra cost, and usually paid
- 3700€ less expensive (it is not a huge difference)
- higher % of women than IE
-better impression of ESADE's responsiveness during the admissions process.
CONS
- Lower ranked than IE
- Employment report shows lower salaries across the board vs. IE
- Campus is a longer commute from downtown vs. IE
- some companies left Barcelona because of the political instability, that happened some months ago.
My idea is to apply to both and also wait to see if I get any scholarship also, but I would like to hear some opinions.
Thanks

If I'm reading this correctly, you haven't even applied yet. Why not apply first, then come back and ask this question? This seems premature
