   Hi,
   It would be quite a project to list ALL the good B Schools in Europe! Listed below are a few which might be of particular interest.
   Cranfield : Cranfield School of Management, Cranfield University is one of the leading UK based tutors in business management and can be conveniently placed as a European Top 20 B School. More than most B School application questions the Cranfield essays have a personal bias which can be used to advantage (or otherwise, if you insist!).

   Erasmus Rotterdam RSM : RSM – Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University has an extraordinarily high international student rate of above 95% and this Dutch center of learning is ranked as one of the top European B Schools. Rotterdam has a personality based series of essays which will do the business pretty well.

   ESADE : ESADE Business School, Barcelona is another B School that pushes Spain to the forefront of Business Management education in Europe. As with most European B Schools the essay questions have hidden challenges and assist innovative viewpoints. ESADE MBA Essays: http://www. vibranture. com/essay/esade-mba-essay-writing. htm
   HEC Paris : HEC School of Management offers Paris and a top international B School ranking – many would be satisfied with that! The HEC essays combine some of the best qualities required in great essay questions – panache, innovation and intelligence. This is one of the best essays list on the planet, so give it all you have.

   IESE : IESE Business School, University of Navarra, Spain having launched its MBA program launched in 1964, the first two-year MBA program in Europe, easily has one of the most respected International MBA programs. The essays are short, sweet, clear and to-the-point. IESE MBA Essays: http://www. vibranture. com/essay/iese-mba-essay-writing. htm
   IMD : IMD or International Institute for Management Development is a new age European B School, located at Lausanne, Switzerland. It is amongst a handful of European B Schools who can consistently hold their own against the best competition across continents. But their admission process inclusive of a bunch of 11 essays and an all day assessment probably makes it one of the most demanding. Initially just the number of essays might seem intimidating, but with a second look you will discover that some of the essays are optional, some are info gatherers and all are short (around 200 words). Might even be fun! IMD MBA Essays: http://www. vibranture. com/essay/imd-mba-essay-writing. htm
   INSEAD : With dual campuses in Singapore and Fontainebleau, France INSEAD is setting new standards for how an international B School should position itself. As a non-US Top 10 ranking international B School it has little competition in it’s niche. Most of the INSEAD essays are standard questions but an attempt has been made to express them from slightly varied angles.

   Instituto de Empresa : Located in the Spanish capital of Madrid, the Instituto de Empresa is a strong contender for Leading European B School. The strong international student composition of 80% also helps. The Empresa essays want to see you respond to situations, events or people with leadership and vision; let it rip! The Additional Information section is actually more inquisitive and testing than the essays and probably requires greater care in writing.

   Judge Cambridge : Judge Business School, Cambridge University is an acknowledged center of learning with a rich history and a high European ranking. Judge Cambridge is a strong contender in any MBA B-School shortlist you might draw up. Essay 2 – wow! – is a work of beauty waiting to be created. Create it! Judge Cambridge MBA Essays: http://www. vibranture. com/essay/judge-cambridge-mba-essay-writing. htm
   LBS : London Business School is flying the Old World flag with a decidedly modern approach. If Europe or specifically UK is your favored educational destination, then LBS might just top your list. The essay questions, we need to state, are quite uninspired (except for Question 4 which demands a certain amount of online activity). Question 5 especially is an English bouncer for all applicants who have not traveled internationally. LBS MBA Essays: http://www. vibranture. com/essay/lbs-london-mba-essay-writing. htm
   Manchester : Manchester Business School ranks as one of the principal European B Schools. If you are not staggered by the sheer number of questions, you will find that most of them are short, pertinent, apt and easily answerable. Manchester MBA Essays: http://www. vibranture. com/essay/manchester-mbs-mba-essay-writing. htm
   Said Oxford : Said Business School, Oxford University, has a highly ranked MBA program that is reputed to be one of the best in Europe. But few applicants miss the prestige of the name either! The second essay question is a standout feature of the application – the breadth of scale and ambition that this essay allows you is incomparable with any essay by any other B School application. Said Oxford MBA Essays: http://www. vibranture. com/essay/said-oxford-mba-essay-writing. htm
   SDA Bocconi : SDA Bocconi “Scuola di Direzione Aziendale” (School of Management), Bocconi University was founded in Milan 1971 and is a distinguished European B School. The SDA Bocconi essays are an intensive grilling of your personality – be aware of yourself or beware! SDA Bocconi MBA Essays: http://www. vibranture. com/essay/sda-bocconi-mba-essay-writing. htm
   Warwick : Warwick Business School’s full-time intensive 12-month MBA is rated as one of the best in Europe. Because it’s short, you’re able to progress more quickly in your career. The first Strategic Issues essay option is an excellent example of in-depth analysis of an (almost) unique subject; the second is perhaps too general in nature.
