What is the perception of US engineering students by top business schools in Europe?

Question

I'm planning on applying to a top MBA program in Europe, focusing on entrepreneurship. I have a BS in mechanical engineering from the University of Michigan, and finishing up my MS from the University of Notre Dame while working full time in an aerospace company and doing research for the university. My engineering work experience extends from project engineer, lead designer to systems engineer. (2+ yrs) My biggest concern is the lack of finance, accounting, marketing, and management experience. What is the perception of US engineering students by top business schools in Europe? With my background (2-3 yrs experience), is it easier to get into a top MBA program in Europe or in the US?

Answer 1

There are actually some advantages to a "foreign" MBA.

Depending on nation, you may have the advantage of multi-language fluency.

You would be a prime candidate for international management.

You would add a level of diversity for some firms.

Hope this helps!
