Hi everyone,
I really need some advice. I received an offer from Edhec Business School for their Global MBA this September on a 30% scholarship. I'm also thinking about applying to ESCP MBA but I'm not sure if it will really give me an edge over Edhec or if should accept Edhec's offer. I will be 100% in debt so that's why I'm not considering more expensive schools at the moment. My goal is to stay in Europe after the MBA (I don't have a European nationality) working in social consulting or a social enterprise or a startup.
I'm open to any country in Europe. I speak French, Spanish and English.
My questions are 1. Will ESCP, being more prestigious, give me a really advantage in looking for a job?
2. Is it worth looking into more expensive schools like HEC or Oxford? Will salaries be good enough so I can pay back in a similar amount of time than the cheaper schools?
Any opinion is highly appreciated as I have to let Edhec know by the end of next month.
Edhec, ESCP or another MBA

I'm an EDHEC alumnus. Top schools are be worth applying to, even if you are focused on a short payback time rather than a higher return in the medium term. The FT ranking has a column called Value which is a good proxy. Cambridge, HEC, Insead, and SDA Bocconi are higher in value than EDHEC, for example. Oxford is slightly lower but over a slightly longer time period, the huge salary premium will quickly overtake EDHEC students.
