Booth alum here. The three schools you mention are less common than INSEAD and LBS in the region. But the alum association is very tight knit and folks are in impressive roles. Given the smaller population, there are a lot of cross-MBA events in Dubai and AD. Usual attendees are: Stanford, HBS, Wharton, the other M7’s, Cornell, and some other int’l programs (HEC, etc).
Slightly unrelated to your query: my partner was choosing between LBS and a T15 program, both at approx the same cost (full ride). We weren’t impressed with the quality of courses, students, and outcomes at LBS tbqh. Most admits looked like they were preparing for a 2-year vacation. The T15 and another M7 she was accepted to (lower scholarship though) felt closer in terms of quality of courses, students, and outcomes. I think the MBA is fundamentally an American product, so if you value the experience and education side, consider that in your choice.
INSEAD only

Very few of them here, mostly folks who got sponsored by their firms. Those who do an M7 MBA typically aim to stay in the US (MBA is a stepping stone to immigration really)
I am a US citizen. Just wondering from a long-term perspective, if I return after a few years.
