in my searches for #1 school in Asia I find Hong Kong UST to be the top/#1 school. Can someone comment on my research?

And, how hard is it to get in for an Indian? I want to work outside of India.

since you will be up against top local competition, it will be tough, but thats the case at all top schools in the world.

Not only that - you'll compete with top international candidates, HKUST being seen as offering the best MBA in in the region, in terms of quality and international reputation.

I don't think that the fact you are Indian plays so much a role. In the end everything comes down to your personal profile, that's what will be judged in the admission procedure.

Hong Kong UST is tough to get into because the intake is under 100 students, so selection is very rigorous, but exactly that fact ,together with the premier Asia Finance image, make it to be such a prestigious Business School.

in my humble opinion Hong Kong UST is by far the best MBA in Asia, Finance/Accounting faculty is excellent and could easily compete with the top schools in the US.

HKUST is No. 1 in Asia, only EMBA, but not MBA
CEIBS is the No. 1 in Asia.

Wow, that really is pretty good. A lot more serious than some blogs, but no worse for it.

yes it is. thats why i stand by my statement that HKUST is #1 in Asia as they do not get any adjustments and still make top 20 not only in FT but Economist as well.
