Hello Friends,
I am an analytics professional with 16 years in supply chain industry, looking to pursue operations management career.
Got acceptance from FUQUA, Kellogg and Sloan but not sure which one to go with.
Sloan and Kellogg are clearly a tier above.
But here are my observations:
FUQUA is $50k cheaper and very responsive, got a good vibe dealing with the adcom team
My interactions with Kellogg was as nice as FUQUA’s but did not overcome a lot of operations management alumni.
Sloan has a great operations management network but my interaction with them has been super cold. They were not enthusiastic through this whole process. Kind of got a “nose in the air” attitude.
Any suggestions?

Congratulations on your admits.
I think a number of schools do a good job with their admissions teams being super nice and super friendly. I really appreciate it and value it. I think it’s a great move to present your admissions team as a welcome committee or people who cheer for you as opposed to gatekeepers designed to keep people out. A number of times, including my own experience, I have seen people choose a program where they felt more welcomed, more accepted, and more needed. I think it’s a very natural human feeling.
However, there is a flipside to this, I would say that once you get admitted, you will never ever really talk to the admissions team. In small schools, if you had a relationship with admissions officer, you can cultivate it further and develop it but in large programs there’s no reason for you to talk to the admissions team unless you are one of the interviewers or ambassadors. That will probably take about 1% of your time. And the culture of the admissions team doesn’t really translate into the schools culture. I have seen combinations of amazing admissions teams mixed with inadequate and inapt administration. It’s disappointing when administration is not capable but luckily that’s only the backdrop and the big picture is your classmates and your professors.
Sorry I’m going all philosophical here on you but the point I’m trying to get across is that you should give very little weight to how welcoming the admissions team is.
Instead, I would probably focus on Your classmates and professors. Networks are important and getting a sense from alumni is helpful. I’m sorry you didn’t have a good experience with a couple of the MIT folks. Maybe just a bad Apple?

I love being a Fuqua student. The community as a whole is incredible. Although I am in the MS in Quantitative Management program, I have built relationships with folks in the Daytime MBA, Executive MBA, etc. It really is one big team.
