Funding for education can be a daunting task, specially if someone is from a developing country like India and going for MBA, shelling out some 45 lacks Indian Rupees. I am still in the process of funding, and once I am done with the funding I will update with an extensive coverage on Funding from India. I hope if it can help solve some of the problems for future MBA admits.
But the goods news is that I have got INSEAD Diversity scholarship, which is a great help. Specially it has enabled me to be more flexible with my future career aspirations.

INSEAD vs Harvard
INSEAD is a one year course and Harvard is two year course. Average salaries after placements from both the school are pretty much the same. I have not taken joining bonus and other bonus into consideration which might be significant.
So here are the pros and cons of INSEAD and Harvard MBA
Pros of INSEAD MBA
1) At Harvard a person shells out 227200 USD more than what he would at INSEAD.
2) An INSEAD MBA grad gains additional one year experience in comparison to Harvard MBA grad. Typically from both the schools company hires for the same position.
3) Much diverse and bigger network at INSEAD than at Harvard.
4) Global placements at INSEAD compared to Harvard. Person has much more flexibility in terms of the place he wants to work at.
Cons of INSEAD MBA
1) Much more hectic schedule at INSEAD as compared to Harvard.
2) Career switch difficult at INSEAD, when the economy is not doing well.
Statistics above shows average costs and can vary depending to job and function. Specially the opportunity cost will vary widely between people working in different countries.

McKinsey shopping
Just a comparison of where McKinsey goes for shopping amongst the top business schools (year 2007)
INSEAD : 75 (out of 881) = 8.51%
Wharton : 53 (out of 710) = 7.46%
MIT Sloan : 27 (out of 375) = 7.2%
Columbia : 31 (out of 726) = 4.27%
London Business School : 9 (out of 321) = 2.81%
Harvard / Stanford : No data available.
INSEAD statistics looks impressive. Definitely this statistic does not give a complete picture but it tells where does McKinsey shop and that might also to an extent reflect which school is good for consulting jobs.
