Ohh Gawwwd!! Soooo many ppl think the exact same thing !!! Its like exact same reasons for me, ditto age, ditto geography presence and ditto 'turning 30' issue. INSEAD already knows the answer to why INSEAD. Why all the fuss then :-/
I feel the same way about 2 years U.S school. I want to focus my future career in APAC and EMEA also. It is just a good fit. If I choose a 2 year program, I will be close to 30 by graduation. 30 is a sensitive age, and I do not want to start at the bottom from any place (yes, associate level at MC or IB is near bottom in my view). If I choose INSEAD, I will be 27 by graduation, I will have almost a 3 year head start then people who is the same age and still at H/S/W school. 3 years make a big different in someone career.[/quote]
