Hey Guys,
I am having such a hard time deciding which MBA program to attend. I have been accepted to HEC and University of Florida for the Fall 2019 cohorts. I am hesitant about both schools. While HEC is higher ranked on the FT rankings, it is also a lot more expensive than UF MBA. UF gives all admitted students a full-ride scholarship. The fees for HEC will total over $70k for tuition. My main goal post-MBA is to go into Luxury, CPG or tech and it seems like HEC has a better pipeline for these types of companies. Also, I would like to work abroad.
Although one of my main goals for pursuing an MBA is to work abroad in Europe, I am very scared about job prospects for an American that only speaks English. I don’t want to invest such a large sum of money into HEC unless I know that I will get a good ROI. I’m a little nervous since I am much younger than the average MBA student and only have 3 years work experience. So I feel like I can’t trust HEC’s average/median salary for graduates.
Even with all of this I want to go to HEC but I think it’s a gamble. What do you guys think?

Hi,
Congratulations for the admits. I can only comment about HEC. I know a bit about them and I am interested to pursue a MBA from there. Your post MBA goals are quite clear and location too. HEC is one of the reputed schools in Europe. Local language is recommended to know but not obligatory to get placements. If you want to go back to US and wants to work for some time in Europe - English will be sufficient and you will gradually learn A2 level of local language which is enough for survival. You can learn when you know the job location.
Cost is huge - € 70k is quite high + living expenses (around € 18k - 20k).
Risk - HEC
Safe - Warrington
For Warrington - You must check the placement records, companies came, try to connect with alumni, search for similar post MBA profiles.
Feel free to ask any further question, I would be happy to help if I can

Congrats on the admits!
Would help if you shared some stats (GMAT/GPA/Work Experience). You are right to be apprehensive about jumping to HEC given your concerns. I am wondering if you applied elsewhere in the US and what the results were? Any schools in the 20-25ish range? Do you for sure want to work abroad? If so, any luck at the British schools? Because of your age/work experience you certainly have the option to reapply. However, if you are set on going this year I would do the following:
Reach out to alum from the school who a) share a similar background or b) are in your desired industry. You'll be surprised at how candid they can be with feedback about their programs.
HEC will open doors in Europe and is certainly in a higher tier, just make sure you get an accurate view of the recruiting for people in your position.

You put the words in my head in just nicely few words. I try to describe this to many people. Always look to the school in context.
