HBS is the most dreamed school by the dreamers in the entire MBA world.

[@simonn6746]

Love, love, love...you are truly amazing! The amount of thought, effort and detail that goes into editing these are unrivaled. Think this may become one of your most popular videos to date (I still re-watch your old videos b/c they are so informative). Cheers!

[@adrianbruno-mba]

Thank you Simon! I really appreciate it! 🙂

[@zoyabob4568]

You make the best content for MBA aspirants! really appreciate your work, Adrian! If you could talk about some more European b-schools that'd be very helpful to people who are interested in that region.

[@adrianbruno-mba]

Thank you for the compliment Zoya! 🙂

Good luck!!

Rather than just telling people how to get in, I really think this helps you choose where to target. Good video.

[@adrianbruno-mba]

Thanks MellowSunset!

Thanks for this valuable information about these business schools, but can you also provide some of the best and affordable business schools to study MBA in USA.

[@adrianbruno-mba]

Thanks, yes, bear with me though a little bit

[@ShoutoutToTrees]

Which school would be good for someone with a background in healthcare? Amazing video, thank you for sharing!

[@adrianbruno-mba]

Thanks! The answer depends on your post-MBA goal. If you want to end up in a Leadership Development program at a firm like Johnson & Johnson, you should consider the top 25 schools globally. If it's any kind of role in the healthcare industry, you could also look into regional programs

[@AMANSHARMA-kf1mm]

Hey Adrian, loved the content. I came across your video at the right time. According to you which will be the best college for finance? I am a pretty average student with not the good vocabulary so i am kind of afraid if i will be accepted into the top colleges or not. And i have 2.5 years of experience in lending business so if that good enough to apply for the top colleges? Looking forward for your reply.

[@adrianbruno-mba]

Hi Aman, thank you! For the leading business schools, you should be good with English. Have you considered some advanced English language courses? If the branding/ ranking of the school does not matter to you, then mediocre English should be fine. It will certainly come down to your English tests (TOEFL, IELTS, etc.). The GMAT also requires some level of English proficiency to master the exam.

[@remyauclaire1]

Thanks for the video. Are you satisfied with the IESE program and the use of the case method? Hesitating between INSEAD and IESE GEMBA. I have a preference for the IESE's case method but INSEAD branding seems much better. Is there a significant difference between these schools? Thanks

[@adrianbruno-mba]

Thank you, Remy! INSEAD has a far better reputation. It's been around longer and has more alumni. IESE is good if you want to do 500+ in 2 years of business school and want to stay in Spain or Europe as a whole. INSEAD is definitely more international

[@remyauclaire1]

@@adrianbruno-mba Thanks Adrian. I am based in Switzerland and work internationally. I would choose the program where I will learn the most, don't want to fall for the brand only. Wouldn't you consider the case method to be a strong differentiator? IESE academic program seems superior and more personalised than INSEAD. INSEAD is definitely top school but their reputation is also largely enhanced by the size of the cohort. Is INSEAD that good really? I don't see where they excel vs other leading schools. Thanks for your Insightful views

[@adrianbruno-mba]

@@remyauclaire1 Only you can judge for yourself if you will learn the most in any program. Of course that is very hard if you don't know what you will get yourself into. That's why I would recommend to sit in a class at each school and see for yourself how they structure the classes and if it's the right for you. If you are anyway in Europe, it is best to visit both campuses and feel the vibe.

Hi could you share your thoughts about HEC Paris MBA program?

[@adrianbruno-mba]

Hi Mansi. HEC Paris has a great MBA program. It's definitely among the top 4 European MBA schools!

[@eshnadwivedi2561]

Hi Adrian, based on the video, you would suggest UC Berkeley, MIT Sloan and Stanford as the best choices for someone looking at tech opportunities correct? Any European schools that would be good for the Tech domain?

[@adrianbruno-mba]

Hi! Yes, they're all top tech schools in the US. For Europe, it's a bit tougher to separate. I'd go with the top 3 in that case: INSEAD, LBS and IESE

[@saadabdulazizi1254]

Thx for the video, very well put. However, looking at the latest employment reports for CBS, they send around 30% to Management Consulting firms (more than luxury and goods and Real Estate fields).

Thanks, Saad! The latest employment reports must have come out recently then

[@Quinton0520]

Are there any business schools known for strong or decent ties in the automotive industry?

[@adrianbruno-mba]

Hi. For the US, I would look into Michigan Ross as it's close to Detroit, which is America's car city. In Europe, I would look into German or French programs. In Germany: WHU, HHL, Mannheim and TU Muenchen. In France: HEC Paris! I hope that helps

[@Raza_ow]

I’m wondering if USC has had any improvements since this video. I know this video is a year old but I am looking into MBA programs this year with the intention of going into consulting at an MBB firm. I want to stay in Southern California so my only options are USC, and UCLA. It seems like ucla would be a better choice for me based on this video but I graduated from a UCR for my undergrad and I feel like the UC systems don’t have a strong alumni and lack the resources to ensure you succeed after graduation.

[@adrianbruno-mba]

USC is definitely a great school with a strong network! Just like UCLA. I would say UCLA is a little bit stronger globally. If you intend to stay in SoCal, then both are great options. I can tell you though, currently, it is extremely tough to land a Consulting gig. The market might pick up though once you are done with your MBA. Check the employment reports of both schools and see how they place in Consulting. That's a great starting point!

[@Raza_ow]

What are the best schools for the energy sector in US?

[@adrianbruno-mba]

The US Top20 all enable to you to enter the energy sector but I would say that the schools in energy famous regions, such as Houston, are probably your best bet. These schools are Rice University - Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Business, Texas A&M University - Mays Business School and University of Texas at Austin - McCombs School of Business

[@12KA412]

@adrianbruno-mba thank you so much for the prompt response. The problem is I want to do MS in Supply chain management which most universities don't offer. Can you recommend some good programmes that will allow me to get a foot in the door at top energy companies? Thank you!

[@options888]

May i know for INSEAD’S MBA program, given that it is condensed to a 1 year program and especially if you opt for the January intake w internship element, would it be very intense and hard to manage as compared to a traditional 2 year mba like the ones in us or LBS/IESE?

[@adrianbruno-mba]

Thanks Jian. I have heard it's intense but doable. Obviously, you don't get the same MBA experience in a 1-year vs. in a 2-year MBA. Courses have to be streamlined. In fact, INSEAD's program is 'just" 10 months long. LBS/IESE and US schools are generally 21+ months

[@hadismt5998]

Which Business school would you recommend for a doctor?

[@adrianbruno-mba]

[@Bryse0405]

which would be a good school for mba in quantitative finance?

[@adrianbruno-mba]

Hi Bryse! To answer your question, definitely MIT Sloan!!

[@chandanijha7506]

Thank you 💯🙏🏻

[@mazharalikhan24]

Which school would be best for marketing?

[@adrianbruno-mba]

It depends on what exactly within Marketing (Brand Management, PR, etc.) and also on the industry. But generally, with the top 25 you can't go wrong unless you want to stay local. Then a regional MBA would do just as well

[@lfmmacedo]

Adrian what do you think about the top three industries post mba? Consulting, tech/general industry, I.B.

[@adrianbruno-mba]

Hi. Those are the industries that most people go into! Especially Consulting and IB. If that is your goal, an MBA will help you achieve that!

[@lfmmacedo]

@@adrianbruno-mba my goal is to work in tech/big companies. I’m an international student so I will try to find a STEM MBA that suits my needs. By the way, do you have any consulting service to offer in order to help students be accepted into MBAs?

[@adrianbruno-mba]

@@lfmmacedo STEM MBA is the way to go if you want to stay/work in the US. Tech companies are not hiring right now, but by the time you graduate, the situation might have changed. I do not provide any consulting service at this point

Hey What about an MBA from said business school ie Oxford University I want to get into banking and an mba from US is pretty expensive to pursue So a one year MBA from Oxford University to get into investment banking? Cam u plz make a video on this

[@adrianbruno-mba]

Hi Vaishnav, you can definitely break into IB with an Oxford MBA. Not sure if Bulge Brackets will be an option since their internship is off-cycle as far as I remember. You can still make it to a solid mid-market IB. I suggest you reach out to alumni, who are in IB and ask how they did it. It is easier with a 2-year MBA program because their internship is in summer, at the time when IBs fill their talent pipeline with potential hires. Hope that helps.
