Hi guys,

really hard decision atm:

Got admitted to ESADE and IESE FTMBA programs and now in decision between those two.

Both programs are really similar, although IESE seems to have a slight advantage in few ratings.

Due to their fees and the scholarships I got offered, IESE will be tougher to finance, while ESADE will be a bit more comfortable financially speaking (currently difference of 25k EUR to finance, scholarship + loan will cover complete tuition of ESADE, loan + scholarship will not cover complete cost of IESE MBA).

My thinking is that an MBA is also what you make out of it - I am thinking about the easier financial situation to allow me easier access to extracurriculars/treks and exchange possibilities.

What is your take on this?

Thanks for the help!

Congratulations for admit in top schools. Both are good and top ranked schools. Confirms the less financial involved school.
