Sorry, I made a similar thread recently but I really have to make my mind up in the next 24 hours and would appreciate any last thoughts here.
I have an offer from HEC and Cambridge but just can't decide between the two. I'm a German Citizen who wants to transition into management consulting (tier 1/2) after the MBA in Europe or Middle East. My GMAT was decent but I didn't apply to LBS because it's just way too expensive and I've already lived in London so I wanted to move out and INSEAD programme was just too short (10 months).
Cambridge
- Rumours are that the brand name of Cambridge will carry and have more weight than HEC in the job market.
- Stronger network in the UK than HEC.
- No Scholarship
HEC
- ranking is higher for both mba programme and business school overall than judge
- received excellence scholarship
- polarising opinions on employability - some say the HEC brand in Europe (and Middle East) overall is elite with a good network whilst others say outside of France HEC network/name is overrated.
Other concerns
What would consulting recruiters in Germany, UK, North Europe, Netherlands and Middle East think between HEC vs Cambridge Judge?
What do other large firms (incase I don't get into consulting) like Amazon think about candidates from HEC vs Cambridge ?
