what u wanna do post mba? just choose top 15 in us, but in euro u need to decide earlier.

It's very much related to where you want to work post MBA. If you dont wan to stay in the U.S., I believe some Euro schools are very good in terms of giving you an international perspective which I personally believe is critical for your personal as well as career development.

Regarding the odds of being admitted by top Euro schools, it depends on how well you are prepared. Generally speaking, it is possible.

Thanks for replies. I prefer to work a few years in Europe post MBA. I'm thinking of changing function to strategy or M&A in Corporate. My current employer has departments with such functions and seems more fascinating to me. I hope that career target is realistic.

Going for a strategy position post MBA is of course possible if you go into a top school. I know a few of Chinese IMD grads working as an internal strategic consultants.

The only thing is, you'd better have Plan B cuz the whole Europe is now freezing in terms of employment, given its lousy economic growth. And you might change your idea when you eventually join the school.
