Hi all,
I've been admitted to both programs. No scholarship, so the game is fair.
I want to join a consultancy company with a long term goal of General Management but I don't exclude other paths I could discover while there.
I'm trying to analyze adv\disadv for both school in order to figure out which program attend.
Tuck:
- Still perceived a bit stronger for its MBA.
- Very strong placement in consulting.
- Alumni network.
- Place to live: I've been to Hanover, nice, little town similar to the one I live in atm.
- Overall rankings still better than Yale except for FT & BW.
Yale:
- Still more famous for its undergraduate. (Still perceived as a 2nd tier for business education?)
- Good placement in consulting but not as strong as Tuck one.
- Alumni network less developed.
- Place to live: the campus seems to be fantastic, but New Haven don't seems to be fantastic.
- Trend: Yale is scaling the ranks of quite all the MBA rankings but in general it's still below Tuck.
- Brand: Yale has a strong brand, in the case I'm coming back to Europe it can be a plus even though companies I hope to join are
well-aware of what's Yale and what's SOM.
I think that I'm forgetting something and I also think that lots of other candidates will find themselves in this situation.
Come on clubers, anyone want to express reason and help me out??
