MBA recommendation letters are one of the most misunderstood parts of the application process. Many applicants focus on choosing the most senior recommender — when what actually matters is specificity, credibility, and examples of impact.

While, I have been able to narrow down the programs I want to apply to. Choosing my favorite is tough. They all have advantages over the other. Since I am not a fan of the whole ranking system and am going more on where I want to go not where someone tells me I should. It seems everytime I go to an event there are things I love and things that don't have much appeal.
After a week in Chicago, my wife has decided that GSB should be my first choice since she wants to live in the city and thinks it would be a great change of pace instead of moving to Boston. Plus the cost of living is lower than Boston.
My other schools all have certain drawbacks so there is no clear cut winner as of right now. I hope actually have to deal with this problem by choosing among acceptances. Anyone else having the same problem or does everyone else have a clear winner.

Same here 
I am applying to both K and GSB and I feel I like both the schools....a lot. Tough to choose between the two.
1. K definitely seemed more "touchy" and "friendly". GSB seemed more "professional" and not as much "fun" as K- This could be a positive or a negative depending on what you want.
2. K seems to have a closer network- everyone seems to know everyone else. Did not seem to get a similar feeling at GSB. This could be because K is located on a campus and most people tend to live in the same neighborhood. GSB students seem to be spread all over the city.
3. GSB facilities/building are AMAZINGGGGG but the neighborhood did not seem very impressive (not that it matters much). The Jacobs center is quite ordinary.
4. GSB is the "hot" school and with momentum (as the adcomm repeatedly reminded us in the info session)
Oh well...if only I can get into either of the schools, I can worry about these things

Yeah, I'm having that problem too. First of all, what I want to do for my career and where I want to work/live pretty much eliminated most of the top 15 schools. Second, while people think my clear top choice winner is Stanford, I'm realizing that Haas and UCLA both provide more resources in terms of international business experiences and entrepreneur center services. I have to keep on telling myself that I shouldn't spend the time considering that right now, and I have plenty of time (and resources) after I get into some of them to decide.
The good thing about each school having pros and cons and not having a clear winner is that no matter which school you get into, you won't feel "devastated" because you didn't get into your top choice.
