Duncan,

I have been offered an admission at Cranfield School of Managmnet MBA(Starting sept 2015). Wanted your suggestions on Cranfield. Below is my profile snapshot.

Indian, IT, Male 27 years, Working as Software Engineer with Top IT firm, 4 years experience. Looking to switch domain to either consulting or Finance.

Also just got a rejection mail form Oxford (said) and i got dinged by Cambridge last year, so these options are ruled out. LBS is way out of reach for me.

So should i opt for cranfield or look for other options. My preferred location is UK. Since iam an Indian, IT, Male, what will be my chances at HKUST?

Please suggest

Your chances at HKUST will depend on your GMAT score.

But if your preferred location is the UK, I don't think that HKUST will help you very much there.

In the FT ranking, Cranfield ranks second among UK schools in terms of international mobility, so I'd assume that it's reasonably successful in placing international students in UK-based jobs. Networking during the program will be key though.

I guess it depends on what you're looking for and what skills you think you need to work on before you start. Why not ask the school what they think? I've not heard of pre-MBA internships, except at highly competitive companies like Bain and Deloitte where they want to give you a chance to prove yourself.

Hi Wouldbecrazy2014.

I am still contemplating whether to join Cranfield. Tried to use Duncan approach by using LinkedIn, found relatively less Alumni for the MBA program. Still the program is Ok I guess, and next year Cranfield will have a new Dean. Rest still researching, but i would request Duncan or other people to please comment on the program Itself.

Cranfield is a good university, I would go for it definitely.

Duncan, Could you please share your thoughts on Cranfield MBA?

You know that you can hire Duncan to help you, right?

I think Cranfield is fairly well described by the comments on this website and by its rankings. If you don't have a specific question that can be answered by the six-line height of this box I am typing in, then I suggest you read through that. You can even search for Duncan AND Cranfield if you want my opinion. It's a great place. I went there when I was shopping around for MBAs, and then again then I was applying to doctoral programmes.
