Hi folks, I am waiting for the final decisions from CBS/Wharton and also just starting my R2 apps for Stanford. I'm seriously debating whether I should also apply to Booth given all the chatter I have heard about CBS vs. Booth MBA experience/value. This even came up during my CBS interview!
Has anyone tried to force rank CBS and Booth without caring too much about published rankings? USNews, FT, WSJ, etc are all over the map and the rankings are so opaque. I work in investment management and will remain in this field. To me, it made more sense to go to school in NY and take classes from CBS' Value Investing program. Talking to Booth alums, however, made me ponder if I should be more openminded about learning and go to a school like Booth where I can take wider range/number of electives. One Booth alum, who is also from NY, said that CBS feels like a commuter school. Obviously CBS alums would disagree with that view.
Anyone care to share their opinions on this? Should I post this question on another board? Thanks!

My opinion: Visit the school. Seriously. I can't understate how important that is. Booth has a good day-visit program. And you should do the same for Stanford (if you haven't already). I could write pages about my thoughts on this, but they wouldn't hold a candle to what the epiphany you get when you're on campus.
I know it's not easy to find the time to do it, and I'm well aware I'm talking about a plane ticket and a hotel stay. Having said that, I've lost count of how many people I've met that said that they were for school X over Y until they visited school Y. Don't just rely on alums. Talk to current students and breathe in the campus.
