Guys, I've been accepted to Aston, Durham, and Exeter (MBA).

Still awaiting decisions from Kent and Lancaster.

I understand Lancaster has the best FT rank etc., but can anyone help me decide whether the brand will actually have some weight on my resume in the international scope?

I'm leaning towards Aston, got three weeks to decide. And no, I can't go visit these schools since I'm an international student.

MBA experts, your advice is needed :)

Definitely...there is a big gap between Lancaster and rest of the B-schools.....If you got an offer that could be the best deal...In fact forbes has recognized only few B-schools from UK....in that Lanc has got a position...And it is not easy to get a place in Lanc....Only 8 to 10 seats are alloted for countries like India and China...Rest from other countries....I tried a lot to get admission but in vain......

Congrats!

Susee is correct describing lancester being the best (in terms of ranking) among your choice schools.

FT ranking only shows Lancester, Durham and Aston.
If I were you, aside from lancester, I would choose Aston because of its location in Birmingham, which is the center of business in west midlands.

Lancaster all the way my friend, with no doubt! very competitive, very difficult to get in, but if you got the profile you might be considered. The experience is rewarding believe me and the tutors are world class in their research. Rankings are sometimes not appealing to some people, but the reality is different, Lancaster offers peer to peer assistance unlike other universities. The learning experience is amazing.

Good luck
