Hello guys,
I had recently got admitted at WHU Otto (Masters in Business Analytics) and Frankfurt Business School (Masters in Management). I'm really confused about which school should I go for.
I have listed a few pros and cons for both the courses below -
WHU Otto
Pros -
1) Good Reputation
2) A little less fees than Frankfurt School (If you need details on fees for better comparison please let me know I will add it here)
Cons -
1) Masters in Business Analytics is new course and it is the first batch
2) It is situated in a town named Koblenz which is a little far from the city so there might be difficulty to find a job or internship?
Frankfurt School - MiM (Data/Business Analytics Concentration
Pros -
1) Situated in Frankfurt City
2) 3 day study model, meaning I can work on other days
Cons -
1) A little high fees than WHU Otto (If you need details on fees for better comparison please let me know I will add it here)
Guys can you please help me with it?
Thanks a lott in advance.

Hi NoviceBoy,
Congratulations on both admissions!
I understand that it's one of the interesting dilemmas of life to be in!
Including the cost matrix, I highly suggest weighing the decision on more considerable variables such as alumni network, career services, geographic location, in-course internship/student-work, mentorship, cohort structure, student-to-faculty ratio, and post-grad opportunities.
Both schools are great, so you have to align your short-term and long-term goals with post-grad opportunities at both schools -
Let me give you a highly made-up yet contextual example:
For example: If "Thor" wants to function in the consulting industry as a portfolio leader, he would decide on the complementary skills that he needs to learn/evolve/adapt and bridge the gap from thunder-blazing and free-flying to complex problem-solving and effective communication skills.
So, Thor would prioritize building those skills in a psychologically safe space that pushes him out of his comfort zone with a cohort that has both similar and dissimilar insights and competent leaders (faculties) who could guide him and assist him in transitioning from As-is to To-Be state.

To_Be state
Attached the images as a reference to put things in perspective!
I concur that it's THE pivotal decision: in terms of both time and RoI.
Thus, try to align your long term plans and connect with current students, alumni, student services, and the admissions committee to take a holistic call.
All the best!

Both schools are great, so you have to align your short-term and long-term goals with post-grad opportunities at both schools -
- 1. Explore the career sections and distil them further with roles, companies, industries, average salary and ROI in terms of scalable, replicable, and transferrable skills and knowledge.
2. Connect with alumni, current students and immediate seniors who have just graduated for your preferred industry and roles - Dive further on where they are placed, which companies, what roles and how smooth/difficult was the transition from student to full-time employee.

After going through the pros and cons you have mentioned, If I was in your position then I would have chosen Frankfurt because the high fees can be negated with part-time jobs and I believe there would be a lot more work opportunities post the Masters in Frankfurt than in Koblenz.
