Hello Gmatclub, and I hope you're all well.
I'm admitted to CEIBS, IESE, and NUS, and having hard time choosing right school for me.
CEIBS offered RMB 175,000 scholarship, resulting ~US$44,500 tuition total.
NUS offered 0 scholarship, resulting ~US$56,500 tuition total.
IESE offered 20% scholarship, resulting ~US$85,000 tuition total.
Background: Asian male(Speak English+ non-Chinese Asian language)
Pre-MBA industry: Tech + general management
Post graduate industry: Tech or consulting
Preferred region : none. I can live wherever for 3-5 years, but plan to stay in Asia after that.
I find pros and cons for each institution, on top of all being 15-19 month programs:
CEIBS:
- greater china market, tech is pretty big there.
- post MBA median salary: US$ 78,594(weighted salary on FT: $185,103)
- cheapest tuition total
- need to learn Mandarin
NUS:
- great Asian market outside China
- post MBA average salary: US$ 73,892(weighted salary on FT: $167,070)
- no need additional language
- best known mother school/outside MBA
IESE:
- Better international experience, highest ranking
- Post MBA average salary: $108,000(weighted salary on FT: $151,347)
- Most expensive program
- Favor to learn Spanish
Any insight into these three programs would be much appreciated!
