Hi Everyone,

Greetings!

I have received admits from ESADE (Spain), ESSEC (France), Cranfield (UK) and UBC Sauder (Canada), however I haven't received substantial scholarship from any of the aforementioned schools. This means that the schools ranked (in decreasing order of tuition fees) are as follows ESADE, UBC Sauder, Cranfield and ESSEC.

Hey, I would vote for Cranfield or Sauder. The fact that you don't speak French or Spanish are deal breakers on its own. Between both, if I were you I would go to Canada (easier immigration laws) even if the salaries are lower than Europe. Life is nice in Vancouver :)

Hey @Andy776,

Thanks a ton for your input!

Can you please share your views on Cranfield as a business school? Unfortunately, I haven't been able to muster much information about it due to it's absence from rankings and lack of much marketing.

Hey Duncan,

Greetings!

Thanks for your input! I have gone through the details that you mentioned however I am unsure as to how my consulting prospects will be in schools like ESADE and ESSEC because of language issues in Non-English speaking countries. And also how does a school like Cranfield pan out especially in the consulting domain, preferably for MBBs?

Hoping to hear from you soon!

MBB hire from better schools: the layer above Manchester. If you don't want to learn another language to a high standard prior to starting a degree, stick with the English-speaking countries if you want to find work there.
