IE b-school如何？

sophierong

I agree GMAT is not the only 评估标准，你的academic background, professional experience, potential of leadership，etc 尤其是professional expericene 更重要吧。 

至于IE 为什么有Distance learning, 难道各位没看到未来的世界是一个on-line 的世界，其实现在已经是， IE 的on-line programs全球数一数二，这个就叫innovation, 不是吹出来的，也是各大媒体通过各种调查评出来的ba.

As for job, it is depends on how do you position yourslef and where you wanna to work. i saw the placement report of IE graduates, all students got job within three months after their graduation. 而且我看今年FT 排名上， IE 的毕业生年薪上升幅度是最高之一吧。

To Willy,

They all appllied for MBA, not MS program. I know AT is only a factor of an applicant's package. However, the truth is they can't even get an offer from other US top 30 program and Europe top 5 program with their below average AT, normal working experience (0-3 years), and domestic 2nd tier university degree, sorry I might be too critical. 

I do believe IE is a top 10 Europe school but can only be the no.2 in Spain and no.5-6 in Europe.

To Sophierong,

Yes, it will be and even already an "on-line" world. But I haven't seen any world top 10 MBA offer an online MBA... MBA is not only a degree but a kind of experience that you have to discover IN person, I believe.

For successful placement within 3 months, I think students in IE are lucky enough to have a very long "3 months" after your program, right? Correct me if I were wrong. What I know is you have a more than 3 months break to look for job after your class and before your offical graduation ceremony.

In terms of after MBA salary, so far, from what I heard and what I experienced at your school, I can only say that there is still some rooms for IE to improve. However, I think you can persuade us easily with your Chinese alumni's post-mba career placement data though.

To Luzrn09,

Seems you didn't completely understand what's on-line prgorams, actually I am applying  on-line program.  As I know,they still meet at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the program,they meet for sure in person for some periods, other top schools don't have on-line programs doesn't prove anything, but prove IE's innovation in education model.

As for the placement within 3 months, it doesn't mean all got job after 3 months. I am sure some got job offer even before graduation.

From what you said (What I experience at your school) seems you are studying there? Of coures IE has improved and will keep improving. We will see.

We look for different things from a business school experience. For many Chinese students, ranking is the most important factor. For some, mutual fit is more important than ranking. For others, location matters. All schools have their unique characteristics and rankings cannot measure these things. For example, how would you compare living in Singapore vs the US? The answer depends on YOU

I wrote this after seeing many comments made about different business schools as if there's a ranking that fits everybody. Before applying to any school, we should think about what WE need from it. It's a substantial time investment after all. My 2 cents

(1)   首先大家提到的 AT问题，我认为已经有结论，所以就不再多做讨论。一个学校的好坏，绝对不是GMAT可以决定的。只能说进来之后就发现很多同学真的很聪明，没有JJ就可以拿到700+的大有人在。

 

同学在聊天的时候，根本不会有人管你AT 考几分，大家只会问你之前做甚么，background和focus，以后career path and planning。

 

另外建议以后想从事顾问业的人，AT不要考太烂，起码考个650分。顾问公司很在意这一个部分。

 

(2)   大家有兴趣的中国学生毕业后工作和薪水部分，我也不清楚，主要原因在于IE中国学生很少，一年只有一个或两个，有时候甚至一个没有，因此我不认为告诉大家欧美各国学长姐的起薪具有参考价值。工作牵涉到的不只是skills的问题，还包括工作证这些复杂的问题。

 

如果真的很有兴趣的话，可以去information session问rep.，看看他们有没有相关的统计。

 

(3)   我建议大家多比较，多考虑，多看看，不一定非得念哪一间学校不可。每个学校都有自己的风格，我认为IE 学生比较偏向risk taking，比较勇于尝试，而所谓的创业精神，除了字面上的解释，也就是开创自己的事业以外，另一部分则来自于自己是否勇于提出新的看法、计划、并执行。谁说一个企业内，不需要创业家？

I'm curious - How's Spanish being taught at school? Talked to an alumnus and was surprised to know that he didn't speak any Spanish upon graduation
