Hi all - in the lucky position to have received EMBA offers from all three (waiting list at St. Gallen). Pulling my hair out trying to decide which one. Here's the thought process:
- Aim:
Develop leadership skills, get a decent ROI, aim for Director level roles in 3 years or so.
- Oxford Said:
- Pro - the brand name
- Con- it's super expensive and I don't want to take out such a big loan at this stage in my career - the price is really the main reason I can't go there.
- HEC Paris
- Pro- brand name, Alumni network, priced in the middle
- Con: Appears very entrepreneurship / innovation focused whereas my aim is to stay and grow in the corporate sphere
- ESSEC Manheim
- Pro: Most affordable, great for staying in europe
- Con: Rankings (FT are bad 45, Economist ranks it at 12 so I'm confused)
Please can you all give me some advice / insight?
