Hi everyone,
I am currently trying to decide between Booth($80K) ($100K) and Kellogg ($100K) and am having trouble making a decision.
I plan on going into consulting or healthcare (or a mix of both) post-MBA. I know Kellogg is strong in both of these fields, especially with it's Health Enterprise Management Pathway, but Booth is also pretty strong in consulting and has an interesting Graduate Program in Health Administration and Policy with the med school, law school, and Harris school of public policy. I was wait-listed at Booth and rejected at Kellogg last year, so I've definitely had a strong connection to Booth over the past year, but Kellogg has begun to grow on me after the acceptance and large scholarship this year and through talks I've had with current students. I'm hoping I'll have a better idea of where I fit better after attending both admitted student weekends, but until then, I'd like to get some opinions about what people think of either school. I know that I'll be able to land the career I want out of either school, but I also feel like my MBA experience will be completely different at either school.
I'm currently torn between the flexibility of courses at Booth vs the strong relationships formed in the cohort, core class, teamwork format at Kellogg. I'm also torn between all of the amazing academically challenging classes I'll be able to take at Booth vs the fun, social culture of Kellogg. I really like what makes each of the 2 schools different, and I know I really can't go wrong with whatever decision I make, which is what is making this decision so difficult.
Oh, and I love the city of Chicago, so I am so happy that I even have this choice!
Thanks!

Congrats on multiple admits. I will provide the following points but will be biased as I am a part of Kellogg's Class of 2018 cohort but will try to provide an unbiased perspective. Ill start by mentioning that both schools are great and the scholarship amounts add to their appeal. I had visited Booth back in 2015 during the application process and didnt even visit Kellogg before the admit. That being said, I knew about Kellogg's culture in great detail as I have known Kellogg Alumni since class of 2007. Booth with its great program/options/opportunities did not provide a good first impression as Evanston wins hands down against Hyde Park or Chicago Downtown. Yes, Chicago downtown has its own appeal being right in the heart of everything but Evanston provides a great 'compact' feel to it. In addition, Evanston is relatively less expensive to live with your family still exposed to the life of Chicago downtown as and when needed. Evanston conveniently provides a close-knit community feel where the walk to anything you will need will not be more than 10-15 minutes walk.
Facilities and alumni wise, both, Booth and Kellogg will provide tremendous opportunities. Kellogg, as you have mentioned, has started to focus on not just healthcare sector in general but has also started to provide courses specific towards payor/provider spectrum within HC, a much needed exposure to such facets given the new regulatory changes occurring. Complementing the coursework, Kellogg has seen record HC related recruiting over the past 2-3 years, right from pharma/biotech/insurance provider/payor companies recruiting heavily at Kellogg. As for consulting, Kellogg has always been a powerhouse and probably is better than Booth in that regard be it traditional companies such as MBB or boutique firms such as Alix Partners, Charles River or Cambridge group.
Do attend the Day at Kellogg (DAK) as soon as you get a chance as you will not only be walked through an actual in class experience of what is it like to experience as a student at Kellogg, getting assigned to specific cohorts over 2-3 days and being involved in tons of great activities. Dont know about the admit day activities at Booth.
Finally, as I am also involved with admissions at Kellogg, feel free to shoot a message and will be more than happy to get on the phone to chat with you.
Good luck and congrats with your admits. At the end of the day, Kellogg, IMO, will provide a more 'richer' experience as Kellogg adcoms have gone an extra mile with providing the JVs a feel of being a part of extended Kellogg community.
