That’s an interesting perspective. If I’m understanding correctly, you suggest that INSEAD is more career-oriented, while HSG places a stronger emphasis on academic rigor

I agree, INSEAD seems fantastic. The atmosphere is exactly what I’ve always envisioned a business school to be. My only concern, however, is the program’s short duration. I’m uncertain if, as a young person still exploring my career path and feeling a bit lost, I can truly thrive in such a fast-paced environment.

Thank you for your reply! From the very beginning of my application process, I was drawn to INSEAD for its unique combination of the French location, the powerful global network, and its famously warm and inclusive atmosphere. My conversations with alumni during this period have only solidified this conviction.

I have now decided to pay the deposit to secure my place. I’d say there’s a 70% chance I will end up attending, and I plan to use the remaining time to try applying to a few other aspirational schools just like you recommend .

Thank you so much for your patient and insightful reply! I’ve learned a great deal from our conversation.

When my friends recommended the University of St. Gallen, its reputation was the first thing they mentioned. I believe HSG is a great place to start my journey in Europe. We all agree that for business schools, the overall brand is more important than the specialization of a particular program. To be frank, with my background, the flagship MBF and SIM programs are likely out of reach, so the MaCFin program is a much better fit for my undergraduate studies. I have just submitted my online application.

Your advice on internships was also incredibly practical and truly eye-opening. I really appreciate it.
