Hi, who else is interested in applying to the good business schools in Italy? Let's meet up here!

Hi, I'm currently doing my MBA at MIP-Politecnico di Milano, if you need info or opinions just ask!

I'm curious about why you chose MIP over SDA Bocconi, which has better rankings. Myself, I'm leaning heavily towards Bocconi for this reason.

Because Bocconi's tuition is almost double the one at MIP, and could not afford It.
@napoli91 it's a great School, obviously being related to Politecnico makes It more lean towards position in IT, Supply Chain and similar.
The network is amazing, but It depends on your goals. For Finance and Consulting Bocconi is a more solid choice once you get over the tuition issue

Given the easy availability of loans and the higher added value of Bocconi, can anyone not afford to invest in a better MBA?

Yes, Bocconi would be the clear choice of these three schools for most MBAs. However, I could see one choosing MIP if they had a strong interest in one of the school's recruiting partners, like Barilla or Lilly.

I'm definitely more interested in consulting versus the other career fields.

Then I don't think there's any reason to consider the other schools besides Bocconi. The only other option would be to do one of the better ranked programs that are great for consulting (such as Insead).
