Can someone please help me with their opinions on HEC Paris vs Esade.
I have a significant scholarship from Esade and am waiting to hear from HEC on the scholarship front.
My post MBA aim is to move into Strategy Consulting and focus on ESG. Location agnostic but inclined towards middle east.
All thoughts will be appreciated.

AnhadBajaj - Would suggest considering these factors in your decision-making:
- What % of the class joined consulting post-MBA, and what % gets placed in the Middle-East and other English-friendly geographies (e.g. Netherlands, UK, assuming your European language skills aren't proficient). This info would be on the employment reports, or can be found (roughly) through LinkedIn search.
- What time horizon are you looking at for an ROI: short-term (ESADE might potentially have an edge here due to higher scholarship) or medium/ long-term (HEC would have an edge here due to the stronger brand and alum network, including in the Middle East).
Speaking to alum from both programs would help you get a sense of the ecosystem, curriculum and culture, which would also be an important factor to consider, given that an MBA is a significant investment (of time + money).
Hope this helps a bit.
