I have been accepted to Oxford Saïd with a 35% tuition scholarship and to IE Madrid, both for the full-time MBA programs.

My profile is below

Nationality: Indian
Work experience: 6 years
Pre-MBA industry: Private and public sector analytics consulting
Desired post-MBA industry: Strategic consulting (ideally MBB)
Desired post-MBA geography: No preferences but wish to work in India long-term

I would love to get the forum's opinions on which school I should attend. General comments, as well as comments specific to my profile, are both extremely valuable for me as I make my decision.

Thanks in advance!

Oxford Said, I would say for stronger economy and the language advantage. Irrespective of rankings, Said is more competitive.

Let us know your decision.

All the best!
