INSEAD or NUS？

ANewHope

这个问题如果2个月前问我， 我一定毫不犹豫的选择INSEAD...可惜天与愿为，我5月底的时候被放到了INSEAD WL

痛苦了几天， 我接受了现实， 决定去NUS, 当时安慰自己INSEAD出来也不一定人人都牛，NUS出来努力的话也许也不差。网上也有些"藐视" INSEAD的言论：什么the overall program is overrated and the singapore campus is even worse with much less electives and especially weak in finance. 我想nus mba的强项是finance, 一个名校的弱项和一个一般学校的强项， 我失去的应该不多吧。。。

谁知道，在WL上待了2个月突然收到INSEAD的offer, 这让我有点迷惑了，我想着那些自我安慰的话，我不知道该如何选择。Is INSEAD Singapore finance a better choice than NUS finance in terms of career opportunity and networking? 请大家给点意见吧，谢谢

我原来研究生的课程有几个insead的教授，还有phd

觉得还是可以的，不过insead金融方面的network就不是很清楚了

Hi LZ, I would suggest you visit Singapore Campus and chat with some people (admission, current MBA candidate etc) and find the 1st-hand info... it is an important choice for you so be careful.

Also.. link this choice with your future career objectives. What do you want to get out of the program? How does it help you achieve your career goal?

Congratulations! i am a current INSEADer. INSEAD is well-known at a consulting school, but as far as i have been experiencing, we have a lot of STAR finance professors!  there is not different between the two campuses. good luck.

Plz check out the following data and you can find that insead is very strong in Finance (in Europe and Asia). The following number shows where those TOP PEs recruit MBA from. It's found in BW forum.

1,KKR *European Professionals Only* MBA's Come From:
HBS, INSEAD - 2
Stanford, Chicago, Kellogg - 1

2,CVC (#3 European PE Firm) MBA's come from:
INSEAD - 8
HBS - 6
Wharton - 4
Stanford, Vlerick (Belgium), Houston University, Chicago, UCLA, Tuck, LBS, Manchester, Columbia, Loyola U, IMD, IESE, Stockholm School of Economics, Erasmus, Copenhagen Business School

3,Blackstone MBA's - Hong Kong office - Wharton (2), HBS (1), Chicago (1), Michigan (1), INSEAD (1)
London office - INSEAD (2), Columbia (2), HBS (1), Stanford (1), Kellogg (1), Wharton (1), Darden (1)

6,Cinven (London-based leading PE firm).  I believe now we have completed this for all of the top 10 global PE firms.  This is actually quite a good collection of information!  Anyone want to sum it all up and make an overall ex-US global list?!

INSEAD在欧洲稍微大点的PE都有partner校友

楼上两位都miss了俩points:
1. insead是咨询大户，而咨询是1/3强的PE employee source，所以最终的PE人数统计没意义;
2. insead毕业人多，在PE人相对多一点和finance强没啥必然联系，只能说势力大;他家1年毕业接近900，lbs才300(对应前面的数据，lbs进PE远少于insead)，那PE人多点不是很正常么
这位兄弟还是说说你到底要做啥？
如果你所谓的finance是毕业就去IB，那你首先看看就业有多少人去IB，再去掉一些前top-tier去IB的，就知道强与不强
如果是corporate financwe, insead绝对够了
如果真的要去PE,估计除了h/s,没有商学院能保证你进去

不过我觉得这俩学校(NUS/INSEAD)档次差得比较多，似乎不需要比较吧......
