UCLA. Unless you want to work in a Spanish speaking country.

hey

UCLA Anderson is awsum.. one of my friend had gone to visit tht school.. it is in prime location, 10 mins from beach...n everything is close by,school is well ranked , i knw lot of profile which had been rejected...

IE is superb, but USA MBA is always considered better than Europe MBA

can u tell me about ur profile, i am going to apply for it next year UCLA i mean..

ur gmat? total work exp ?

<blockquote>Hi all - I'd like to get your opinion on the the UCLA MBA vs. the IE MBA. Your thoughts?

Thanks.</blockquote>

Is that even a comparison ? UCLA is in a league of its own.

hi freeze...

IE is a big brand my friend.. very much in same league as ucla...

but UCLA is better for international students....few reasons i hav mentioned very much in one of my post on america mba vs europe mbain general forum...

I wouldn't rush to put IE into the same league as UCLA.

I can't seem to find the IE recruitment/placement information for 2009, but let's look at the UCLA information

http://www.anderson.ucla.edu/Documents/areas/adm/cmc/EmploymentReport.pdf

Page 12 gives a breakdown of the top hiring organizations (4 students or more from a total student body of 360). There, we have the top organizations like McKinsey/BCG/Bain//Apple etc. Maybe we should compare that against IE's report.


Here is IE's report

http://imba.ie.edu/pdf/placement_report.PDF

It doesn't give such a detailed breakdown as UCLA does. But the industries they enter seem to have similar percentages. However, for jobs outside Spanish speaking countries, I would still stand by UCLA instead of IE. Maybe for an international scene too, unless somebody can get a better and more detailed report on IE to show that it out performs UCLA.

Thanks for the replies, all!

Just a little bit of background on me. I have about 7 years experience at a fortune 50 in several countries. GMAT score is 670.
so far these are two of the schools i've been looking at and am interested in...but i also know very little about the perceived "prestige" of the two in the job market, which is why I posted on here.

Thanks a lot for all the replies..they are very helpful.
