In Reply To: By and large, Insead is THE European MBA. This can be read in 2 ways: - the major Europe-based MBA (LBS in same league), with the added Singapore campus / Asia exposure - The MB of choice of European BAs, as it is a 1-yr program and most European undergrad studies last longer than their US counterparts. Then you have plenty of other considerations, such as the fact that a European McK office will almost always sponsor an Insead MBA, but might not sponsor some US-based ones... Hope it helps, s. PS: once you join, check the "Learn" site on the Intranet. You should find there a document giving quite a lot of details on the MBAs for BAs.
Message: I was wondering if you could answer a quick question - as far as getting *into* Insead, do international students (i.e., someone from America) have any general disadvantage? Also, are there any 1-year MBA programs in the US that M/B/B would see as having the same standards as, for example, a traditional 2-year program at HBS? Thanks!
