This depends on your goals. If you want to return to your own country, I would pick Vanderbilt.

I am open to working anywhere. Which college would be better ?&nbsp; Owen MBA has a very nice alumni and the post MBA salaries are very competitive,&nbsp; on the other hand,&nbsp; UCD is a top college in Ireland. Vanderbilt is ranked higher than Owen. Ranking is a factor but I am also looking at employment opportunities. I have applied to Rice(Jones) and Teper, but am yet to receive an updates on that. So for now, these are my best two options. Please guide.<br><br><br>

It's quite hard for international students to find work in the US, especially in the South. Take a look at&nbsp;

</div> [/quote]Hi Duncan,<br><br>I also got offers from Southampton and Bath. Should I stil go for UCD ? Bath has competitive post MBA salaries and Southampton is also ranked a little below UCD in QS.&nbsp;

UCD is much better and, considering the volatility in the UK, a safer bet. The only issue with Dublin is housing.&nbsp;

I am still waiting for a decision from Tepper and Rice from USA.&nbsp;<br>Which would be another good option after UCD?

The schools on the best placement list are good options.&nbsp;

[quote]The schools on the best placement list are good options.&nbsp; [/quote]<br><br>That's a good list, although I wonder if there is an EU bias that results in a lot of EU schools showing up on the list.&nbsp; Because of the visa-free movement of labour, moving countries within the EU (e.g. Spain to France) is a lot easier than moving from China or India to France.&nbsp; If that list excluded EU to EU country movements, I think you might see the American or Canadian schools better represented in that list.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>I guess it really depends on who you are.&nbsp; If you are an EU citizen, easier to shift countries within the EU so that list makes sense.&nbsp; If you are Indian or Chinese, not so much.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

The participants in these programmes are generally not Europeans, are they? They are generally non-EU.&nbsp;
