In a head to head matchup, which MBA program is better - Insead or LBS?

For somebody looking for a career in Western Europe, in consulting.

Both schools have strong relationships with MBB, that's certain. Overall, I think INSEAD will probably place more students into those firms, but it's generally a larger class, plus there are more students who are already working in MBB that just go right back after graduation.

Either school is a strong choice.

I think if you;re already working in an MBB firms, then Insead is better. If you want to move into consulting from some other industry, then LBS will be better.
