Why isn’t “keep it” an option on the poll? I said as my other suggestion: Keep it and update us on your career post-ESADE MBA.

Or you could do a combination of that, and transferring it to another student. So, allow the other student to be the main contributor, but also update us with your story, and those of your classmates who have graduated. I know many people are interested in what the post-MBA experience is like.

so we’ve got the perspective of an ESADE student, an IESE alum, and prospective IE student all in one post Pretty good. I’ll be sure to report back once I actually get to IE and find out about the program first hand.

Excellent Article!

If I could write like this I would be well chuffed

The more I read articles of such quality as this (which is rare), the more I think there might be a future for the Web. Keep it up, as it were.

You totally right when you recommend to look beyond rankings, visit the school and talk to participants.
I myself did IESE full-time MBA in 2008 and today, with hindsight, I’m more convinced then ever that I did the right choice. IESE uses the bell curve evaluation which by itself is quite competitive, but competition is not bad thing if there’s a good, healthy environment and I must say that is one of the strongest aspects of IESE, the competition you will make you work harder and learn more but you will get plenty of support from your team and class mates.
IESE is the 1st MBA in the world by the Economist, but each candidate have to find their own 1st MBA and this is done by making your own criteria. Hope you find yours!

hello fellow blogger. I am using wordpress and therefore the stats tool provided is the one from wordpress. Their explanation about the statistics is here and when i say visits it refers to page views according to my understanding.

Congratulations on big 10! Just curious, when you say views, do you actually mean pageviews, visits or unique visitors? What webstat tools are you using? Since you are sharing these stats anyways, I would like to have some benchmark for my blog from a fellow MBA blogger. Thanks.

Comment on Moving ESADE by Andreas P.

Hola!

I guess the level of ESADE graduate’s satisfaction with their MBA experience is distributed, like many things, similar to a bell curve. What we see on this blog are usually comments from the either very dissatisfied 5% complainers or the 5% fan boy population.

Hopefully prospective students realize that neither picture necessarily expresses the majority of the student body’s perception of the status quo.

My point of view: while both sides have good arguments, I think it ultimately comes down to the question of whether the school provides me with the best possible MBA experience (based on the given constraints like tuition, location etc), and in that respect I have to side with a “No”. Too often have I heared that due to the ongoing program changes, things will be improved, modified, adjusted for the next year. This might be great for future students, but I don’t feel like beta testing.

However as I haven’t done an MBA at IESE, INSEAD and LBS in parallel, I can’t tell whether thats an ESADE specific issue or true for all European MBA programs!

What I like about this discussion is that it shows how diverse our classes really are, with less conformity as, I guess/stereotype, a class of IESE students. Indeed beyond the noise, that fact may be of help for you, prospective student, in your decisions where to start our journey!

Best,
Andi

I suggest a “Happy Meal” sponsorship from McDonald’s for “The unhappy student club”….
that is most definitely my most unproductive comment but I still find it funny
