Mim target schools for management consulting in middle east?

Hi there, 

You have a great list and you seem to have really done your research. 

Practically, what you can do is to check for consultants in your target office & firm on LinkedIn and see what business schools they went to. Create an overview of this and prioritise then your applications accordingly. Pay special attention to how many of them also come from India are non-European and non-ME. 

As a note, for IESE specifically, they have a very strong bond with ME MBB firms and they handle the recruitment directly through the university. So it's a great option to consider among all the other ones. 

I've worked a couple of months ago with a candidate in a similar situation - she was from China, currently studying in the UK and targeting MiM programs. We worked together on the applications and she got into all 6 schools that she applied to (half in Europe - INSEAD, IESE, HEC, and half in the US). Feel free to reach out and we can discuss whether we could help you as well. 

Best of luck!

Hi there,

Sounds like you could benefit from a coach! To properly answer these questions takes a very long time. “Free” answers here aren't really going to go to the depth that you are hoping for.

You're asking us to provide you a completely tailored plan for you and dive deep into every program's pros/cons. We're happy to do this via coaching!

Note: I agree with Udayan, if your goal is MBB/Big 4, you will be much better served with an MBA, not a MiM

Hello,

It sounds like you've done some good research - these are all great business schools for sure. I would also recommend what other experts here have pointed out - doing a more detailed LinkedIn search will help you see how many graduates of those programs ultimately ended up at top consulting firms. I would also look at whether schools do on-campus recruiting - that typically gives you a better chance of getting your foot in the door. Also, have you considered MBA programs? Consulting companies tend to hire heavily from those.

The reason you see people return from UK to India after a 1 yr MiM is because it is NOT a target program for MBB. Yes some people get in after these, but by and large the heaviest recruitment happens after an MBA program. Why not just do an MBA at a top school given that you already come from a background where you can make it into a top program?
