Chicago Booth or Wharton EMBA

Good question. I think with the new San Francisco campus that Wharton opened sometime ago, you have a stronger alarm presence in the bay area. Though keep in mind, your primary network will be your classmates.

As the result, usually it pays to attend a larger size program. Networking with full-time students is a little trickier because by the time they are in a position where you would want to engage them, it’s likely been 10 years since they graduated and their connection to the school is quite weak.

I would also consider where you want to be or where you are and how many of your classmates will be in your geographic area. For example, if you are in Chicago and you have no plans to relocate, before school starts, probably makes sense to make your life easier and go to school in Chicago. you’ll be able to get in touch with people and have a large part of your class be local.

PS. If you are planning to take time off, have you considered doing the Stanford MSX program?
