After two rounds of joy/fun and waitlist heartbreaks I'm left with two options - Stern or Haas. Thrilled to have them but not sure which is best for me. Tried to be concise below. Insightful comments from current students/alums (particularly those in investment management) very much appreciated! Really any insightful comments appreciated!
Background: A year in investment banking and 3 years in corp strat at a F500
Goal: Investment Management (e.g., Asset Management, Hedge Fund, VC but def not PE); Sell-side research as a back up; would also potentially be open to tech in a ventures group or something like that
Haas:
+ Better pedigree than Stern, indisputably in the top 10
+ Seems like a super tight-knit community and very diverse in terms of background
+ Weather is amazing
+ Slightly cheaper, don't know about scholarship yet though which could be a major factor
- Farther from NYC where most jobs will be although I know there is a good amount of VC and some HF/AM jobs out west
- Partner is going to be in Boston and I think ultimately we'd both like to be on the east coast but things can change
- Not known for finance and could be more difficult to network/get in touch with relevant folks for recruiting (I think my path will be largely self-driven)
Stern:
+ In NYC and literally a stone's throw away from so many funds and AMs; also in NE more broadly where so many big AMs are and endowment funds
+ Closer to partner and most of my friends (everybody ends up NYC?)
+ Known for finance albeit predominantly Investment Banking and less Investment Management
+ Arguably a better finance curriculum but Haas does have Yellen which seems pretty dope
- Seems like a less tight community (read: still pretty good and much better than folks would tell you)
- More expensive and seemingly no scholarship (will ask again after Haas gets back to me or even now)
- Less prestige/ranking worry; worse brand? (still pretty good though, I think)
- Weather sucks but I grew up in the midwest so can handle
Going to admit weekend for Haas, unfortunately can't make Stern, but already feel like Haas is a better personality fit (could be wrong). I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to network a lot on my own given a more esoteric career path though and so the NYC location is pretty great. Would love to hear thoughts!

Congratulations on two great admits! I thought no it will be hard to make a wrong decision.
I voted for Stern. I feel east coast has a stigma against west coast schools (GSB is the only exception) but most bankers and east coasters will consider Haas a cozy relaxed hangout. The whole east coast vs west coast thing.
With so many things for you happening in NYC, it seems odd to head to Berkeley just due to the school’s ranking. Stern used to be ranked a lot higher before the recent falling out with US News.
Anyway, I don’t know what will be a better MBA experience for you but I feel Stern will do a better job at putting you where you want to be long term. One opinion. It does not sound like you will like it though.
Good luck!

Thanks for your reply bb! I don't think there is much of a stigma of east vs. west coast in banking, or at least I never saw it but maybe you're right. Although to be fair I'm not looking at investment banking so might not be relevant even if one does exist. Hahaha I'm open to hearing whatever, I'm honestly looking at both options very closely. If I didn't want to do investment management I think I'd go to Haas and looking at older placement reports seems they used to do an ok job putting people in the field.
Anyone have other thoughts? People who voted Haas, care to share why?
