Dear All,

I am looking for advice which MBA program to join. I am hoping that I will get admission in all 3 with some scholarship. My target is to switch from electrical design to consultancy while majoring in Strategy and Finance. Any one would like to comment which school would match my goals?

Many thanks!

Are you also considering the MBA at Frankfurt School? If you're interested in finance, that's probably one of the better choices.

Otherwise, WHU probably places more MBAs into the financial services industry than the others you're looking at. However - this might be counterintuitive - but for financial services, a school with a stronger pan-European footprint like Insead or LBS might actually be a better choice.

Yes I have sufficient working proficiency. Not very fluent though. B2 level. Why not ESMT?

I would think ESMT would be an ok choice if you wanted to work with one of the founders - Allianz for instance, recruits from the school.

Why not ESMT?

1. It's in Berlin and not near to any financial services companies
2. It does't place as well into FS as the Frankfurt School or WHU.
