I've been admitted to IE's International MBA program and I'm very confident make it to all of these programs for the Full-Time MBA, September 24 intake.

I was delighted to get into IE but then I started communicating with the alums and they all said the same thing:

1) Terrible Career Support team
2) The European Market is bleak
3) IE's admission to the IMBA program is not very selective and honestly, they'd admit anyone, although I don't think that's completely true.

I'm from a consulting background and work for my family-owned management advisory firm in India. My immediate post-MBA goal would be to work in consulting (outside India) and settle aborad. Long-term: Entrepreneurship. Heard good things about Imperial and Warwick. Katz, well, it's a different market altogether but not that well ranked in the US. The location is not a big factor to me and I'm comfortable anywhere. (Even if I end up going to IE, I'll make all the efforts to be fluent in Spanish).

Which one would you choose and why?

I don't think you've thought deeply enough about the practicalities.

Suppose you're not fluent in Spanish now, or in Italian or Portuguese. In that case, you won't be at a professional level in Spanish at the end of a demanding masters taught in English on a largely English-speaking campus.

Where outside India is there [a] a market stronger than Europe where you'd be able to settle long-term and [c] want to live? The odds of getting a US green card are very slim. Spain has a much better growth forecast than the UK.

Well, these are not the only three schools so I don't accept the premise. I am not sure that any of these schools open a route to your goal.

Weighing these up as options for settling long-term:

IE - Huge language barrier. If you were in Spain now working full-time in an intensive language programme.... But then you're competing with fluent Latin Americans with much less attractive options in the domestic markets.

Warwick or Imperial: Generic UK problems. You won't get into a top strategy firm that way, but maybe Big Four accounting firms' advisory teams. See https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1942720

Katz: You just won't get a long-term visa there. In an intensive one-year MBA you won't find an American to marry you unless you want to marry out. Pittsburgh has a tiny Indian community, for example. GWU, Questrom, Fuqua, Fisher, Olin, Merage, Simon, Caroll, Olin.... these would be better schools for finding a wife.

PS So, of these, the UK schools are the best bad option.
