Hi,

I would skip Nyenrode and Esade and consider Warwick, IE, Mannheim and Vlerick instead.

JL

Care to expand?

My comments:

1. Consider 1 year or 2 year program???

2. If Europe for working post-mba then disregard Nanyang
3. Disregard IMD for your profile (is for mid 30s)
4. Very tight for Insead (GMAT 650 is medium/low)
5. IESE (if applying for 2 years) or ESADE, HEC for less time
6. Next tier RSM or Boconni
6. Disregard Nyenrode

Where are you from? Which are your pst-MBA goals?

Hey JL,

What do you think about WHU-Otto Beisheim School of Management in Germany?

Thanks
Naman

Dear all,

What surprises me is the confidence with which people pronounce their verdict on the MBA programs to potential students without having any credibility whatsoever. I am not sure if that is the objective of a discussion.

I am a current student at Nyenrode and strongly feel that it is a worthy school, at least the pack that you have put here.

I just want to request all to give feedback based on what they objectively know about the school and not communicate their feelings and verdict on a certain program.

Single Spain, I feel that it's very easy to say disregard Nyenrode. But why don't you let the person make that decision?

Regards,

Saurabh

My recommendations are based on the people I know (from many Schools), public information such as rankings and information which is for instance in many webs such Businessweek, and many others.
Regarging Nyenrode, I am not saying is good or bad, but what I can say is that other schools such the ones I mentioned are better Schools for an MBA. Who knows Nyennrode??

Hi Single Spain,

I do not think that your comment even deserves a response. Anyway, good luck with mis guiding people at a public forum.

Hi there,
As your primary focus, I would pick INSEAD, HEC, IESE, ESADE. What about LBS, Oxford, Cambridge and Manchester? You can add those too.
