Well everyone, I'm going to make it official... I'm going with Kellogg.
I had a great time at the Chicago GSB weekend, but after thinking about it for a couple days, I'm going with my gut. And it's telling me Kellogg. I have no doubt that I could be happy at GSB, and do well there, etc., but for me, it really is boiling down to fit. It's not that the people weren't amazing, because they are - I think it had more to do with the culture - it's not a bad culture, it's just different than what I'm looking for.
It's going to tear me apart to turn down one of the best finance schools in the world, especially since that's what I'll be studying, but here's my take on it. I know that I would get a world-class education at GSB. I know that pretty much everyone would argue that, finance-wise, it's better than Kellogg. And that may be true. But if it's not the right place for me, and the place I can thrive in, then it's not the best education for me. Based on my past experiences, the BEST school you can go to is the one in which you feel a connection, in where you feel you can truly truly thrive - rankings be d*mned. Anyways, that's how I feel. Hard to explain, but there it is.
So... I'm really looking forward to the fall. Can't wait to be in classes with the clubbers!
You'll and all the other "corn flake" buddies will be just fine!
Remember, if you're in a top school just relax...
Rhyme is going to have a hard time with TNDC, as many people from Kellogg are going to be there
It was really nice to meet you. And YEAH go with you're guts.
