Hi again,

According to me for MSc course(s) your priority order should be:
Manchester, Cranfield, Strathclyde, Durham, Aston, King's, Exeter.

If you are waiting for more than 2.5-3 months for decision from MBS, Cranfield-SOM, Strath-GSB etc. you SHOULD accept Durham/Aston to be on the safe side but plz understand that there would be no refunds if you wish to back off...

All the best.

Thank you Nes! What did you decide finally?Because your posts are deleted..

You are welcome...

I myself deleted the posts...out of anxiety (and partly out of ecstasy) I posted the status of my application to different B Schools...but later when I looked back at those posts, I felt that I am a stupid dork blaring his own horn!!!!

I deleted those posts and kept the only posts of mine which helped/will help other aspirants.

By the way, I decided to accept Warwick. Reason - high reputation, close to both Birmingham & London and excellent student support service. I am least concern about other B Schools but till today I regret ditching Cranfield-SOM offer since I specifically told in the interview that given an offer I would choose Cranfield though its located in the middle of nowhere...I truly feel bad and wish i didnt make that promise/statement.

Sincerely hoping that I made a good choice by opting for Warwick.

I'm sure you made the right choice...Without doubt Warwick Business School is in the top 3..Did you applied for Msc Finance and Management in Cranfield?Do you really think that Cranfield SOM is so good?Here in Greece it's not too famous..

To Osrat & George: Thanks for your wishes...Indeed the reputation and the location tilted my preference towards Warwick.
-------------------------------------
George,

Regarding Cranfield-SOM, apart from LSE, LBS, Warwick, Cass and Asridge no other B School in UK can ever compete with Cranfield...its regarded a top B School in the world...only the best gets admission...if you get a call grab it!

I applied for the MSc Strategic Marketing...

Regarding your case since you are interested in International Management, Manchester is the best among the schools that you have applied to.

All the best, buddy!

Hi, can someone tell me abt Durham's reputation for its management course...The website calls the course MA management and not Msc Management and FT boasts really good abt the school---no.2 in UK for return on investment...

Is it really famous with recruiters? and is the avg pay 47000 dollars per annum?

Durham is good..as an University very highly respected and B School well known in the UK...Nobody can actually authenticate the pay package...but all I can say is that Durham indeed is a high return on investment since living costs are incredibly low!!

Answer: Warwick>Cranfield for MSc. Finance

Reason: Warwick is a CFA Program partner, Cranfield is not.

:) Depends on you bro!!! Anyway, I think Warwick has already closed its admission for this year...but then I am not sure...just check it with them.
