Hi Yashika,
Thank you for the feedback. I am just wondering because IE has a better global rank than Esade. Will it impact me as I grow in my career? Background: I have over 8 years of experience in Product management. This is to upskill myself and better my future chances of opportunity
Yes, IE is a step ahead of ESADE in terms of ranking, location, and prestige. And given your above statement. You are inclined towards IE.
When we ask for opinion between two and end up countering in favour of one. You know your heart and mind are in sync. 😁 Enough with my psychology. Try to negotiate a scholarship with IE people. I am not sure how's that done. But I know you will figure it out. One more thing. You never specified the scholarship amount you got at ESADE. So, for ex if you are unable to get any scholarship from IE, and the difference of cost of attendance between 2 schools is varying at a significant amount(10 lakhs or something), I will suggest you to go for ESADE. Considering you are from India, I won't suggest taking a 1 million bucks loan more just for raking and prestige. ESADE is not lagging that far behind.

Hi yashika, yes I'm Indian but I live in Europe. I have been here for 12 years. But still the amount is huge. The scholarship from esade is more than generous and they have been lovely to me.

So do you think the excess money you will be paying to study at IE is worth it? If yes, you should go for it. ESADE is the runner-up in IE, IESE, and ESADE marathon. Somewhere first, somewhere second. But no such vast difference.

Oh no. I absolutely don't think it's worth the extra money. I will be going to ESADE as I have been combing through the course modules and talking to Alumni.

ESADE is a great choice. You will be fine. Plus, you can move to any European country if you don't feel like interacting with Spanish peeps. ;) Good luck. :)

Hi everyone, thanks for the tips, just to let you know I chose ESADE and did the right thing. Absolutely wonderful school with amazing set of students who are unique and bright. They seem to have been very selective in who they choose. So happy. The professors are great. There are 1 or 2 hits and misses but the rest is amazing including very helpful career services.

That's really nice to know. And it's always great to see admitted students. Will you mind doing an ESADE session with us for prospective students? I am sure they would love to hear your experience at ESADE.
