What Recent Grads Say See All 13 Comments >

A two-year MBA program in continental Europe teaching the case method to 275 students from 50-plus countries. Nothing else like it in the world. I think what we give up in those last 30 points of average GMAT score is definitely made up for by the thoughtful, diverse worldviews and work backgrounds brought in by classmates. Professors are actively engaged with students to foster a collegial atmosphere of learning where there is competition (everyone's pretty type-A to go to b-school) but also no hesitation to call someone for a 30-minute recap of a class if they had prior work experience. What it comes down to most, though, is the people. It's just a different type of future leader who is willing to take a different view of what business school should be all about...not helping you make an extra $20K your first year out, but putting you in a position to make real impacts 20 years from now.
