MBA Discussion Board

Hi Denise,
the problem is that the company I work for now, will never finance my MBA, not even participate a bit.
Anyways I want to change and find a new, more interesting job. The MBA could open some doors...

I will check out the websites of the schools to see what sponsorship possibilities they have - and let you know!

Hello Carina!
Thanks for sharing, that's nice.

Can you tell me, is ITESM and EGADE the same?
And IPADE, is that not so good? I thought it was, Kata says that in her post.

About your warning, "fast life", that made me smile... You know, I am from Columbia, and used to some heavy stuff as well :)
Or don't you think?

Hi dsm, that's interesting... so IPADE must not attract the best students, but the ones without fiancial problems. I find it a bit scary that they don't ask for GMAT!
But maybe they have some other tought admission exam? Some of the best US business schools don't ask for GMAT but you'll have to be prepared better than for the GMAT.

How is the interest of potential employers, international companies, for MBA degree holders of EGADE and IPADE?

Only 8-10% of international students - that tells everything about the international appeal of IPADE. I know this phenomenon from SPanish schools, first I found several prgorams that looked good, but to get a real picture it was very important to learn about the percentage of international (and in this case non latin american) students.
Probably IPADE not the best option for foreign student, unles their goal would be to learn/improve Spanish language skills, and discover Mexican culture meaning mingle with local rich kids ;-)

Thanks for the info! Did you do your MBA in Mexico, or are you planning it?

Hey Kata,

I am from Mexico, currently studying an MBA in Puebla. Best programs in the country are ITESM Tec de Monterrey, Monterrey campus; Universidad de Las Americas, Puebla; ITAM, Mexico city; ITESM Guadalajara campus isn't so bad.

Now, living in Mexico city can be a real challenge if you're not used to the "fast life", pollution, etc. Monterrey is a very dynamic city but has terrible climate--too hot in the summer, too cold in winter. Guadalajara is a beautiful city but the program there is not as good as in Monterrey.
Puebla is the fourth largest city, an hour away from DF, and close to coast lines--acapulco, veracruz, etc. I'm having a good time at UDLA because student body is very diverse, from all over the world. MBA here is good. check out the website.

hope this helps!

Are you looking for MBA programs in Mexico and India, did I understand you well?

I guessed that you'd say so - but also before reading you Egade was in my list, it seems to be a good school!

But at this stage I am also curious about scholarships, please, both of you, could you guide me a bit with this?
I have a good profile for achieving such funding I presume, because my results have been really good throughout my studies, and besides I can not study without financial help.

Andrea, you posted these amazing figures about scholarhips in Ipade - what are their criteria? And how much do they usually cover?
