I made up my mind a while back, but I suppose I should make it official.
I've officially decided I will attend IESE this upcoming fall.
I guess it was never much of a difficult choice to make - once I visited and met people, it was clear. On paper, ESADE did appeal to me a lot more, but being on campus really did make the difference. The whole assessment day/networking selling day the school did in NYC also sealed the deal. And the fact that the economist ranked it #1 didn't hurt also, but I know better than to base everything solely on ranking. Although, when you get into the #1 anything, you GO!
In any case, I'm going. Considering the future, and the fact that EVENTUALLY, I want to come back to California to settle down, it makes sense to go with the more established name with more connections and a stronger reputation. I've also learned that education truly is what you make of it, and there is no doubt that I will be more challenged at IESE. In light of that, I think I'll be able to make more of it.
I'm terrified and excited!!!!
Congrats and I am sure that this decision will change your life!! Good for you and greetings from Barcelona! Btw. last Monday it snowed 30cm in Barcelona, the biggest snowfall in the last 30 years :)
