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!!!!
