Hey guys
I have been admitted to both Columbia (65K scolarship) and Chicago Booth (50k scholarship).
About my backround:
- I'm international student from Russia
- I work in investment banking industry, M&A (Moscow, Russia)
- I want to change the current industry to strategy consulting. My post-MBA goal is to work in MBB in foreign countries for couple years and in Russia after that
About my thoughts:
Considering this, I am leaning towards Columbia, but I am not 100% sure.
I would love to have your input.
Appreciate everyone's help and insights!! Thanks

Given cost of living differences, it will cost a similar amount to go to either school despite the slightly bigger scholarship from CBS. I would try to connect with several alumni from each school to get a better sense of the culture/unique aspects of each school to aid in your ultimate decision.

This is no brainer - go to Columbia!!! The international prestige and network is way better for Columbia, specially in Europe. That really makes the difference here. Rankings doesn't matter here, both are M7 schools other than H/S/W, so no difference on that
