I have received conditional offers from the following Universities:

1. Strathclyde, MBA (Condition:Interview)

2. Bath, MBA (Condition: Interview)

3. Glasgow, Adam Smith Business School

My goals are to do a MBA specialising in Finance and eventually work in Corporate Finance as an Analyst/Advisor.

Help me choose a University?

Hi,

I applied in CASS and Imperial as well, but their decision is still awaited. I didn’t get through LBS.

Based on all my applications these are the ones that have accepted me so far.

I am confident on getting through Glasgow, although Strath is a better school from what I can see in the rankings. Besides that please help me decide which one to give preference to for Finance specialisation

Did you consider a master's in finance?

Hey Duncan,

Yes. I got through Msc.Investment & Finance at Strathclyde and Msc.Finance & Management at Cranfield, we had a discussion on that, but parallely I also applied for MBA programs with strong Finance modules. With my experience and background that was a logical option I guess.

Strathclyde was sweet enough to suggest is themselves, so I have an interview with them in April and so is Bath (Which I believe has strong Finance Modules as well). But between them, which one will you suggest (assuming I get offers from both).
