Background:
Coming from Corporate Finance in Tech in Chicago
UG GPA: 3.85
GMAT: 750 (Q48 V45)
Post-MBA: Consulting (MBB) or Tech
Post-MBA Location: Short term- NYC (if possible) but Long term- Chicago
Happy to be in this position but struggling with my decision (and the added unknowns of covid are not helping either!)
Kellogg
Pros:
- Ranking and prestige are higher
- Quality of current students/alumni network is better from my personal experience
- Better placement in MBB
- Strong Chicago alumni network helps my long term goal of settling down in Chicago
Cons:
- In my comfort zone- I have lived in Chicago for 5 yrs. and know a lot of people who have gone or are going to Kellogg
- Really removes the opportunity to move to NYC
- On a personal level, my significant other will be moving to NYC in the fall so we would have to deal with long distance
Stern
Pros:
- In NYC- would be able to network more easily and potentially get an internship during the school year
- Full Ride- I will say this is a lesser pro for me given that I currently am in a very lucky position to not have to take out any loans to pay for school
- Out of my comfort zone- would allow me to experience something new
- Wouldn't have to do long distance
Cons:
- Stern brand name isn't as strong, especially in the Chicago area for my long-term plan
- Harder to break into MBB
- Didn't click with the current students as well as with Kellogg
- Uncertainty in NYC and potential for virtual classes seem higher than at Kellogg
Would love any advice you all have.
Cheers!

Curious why you think Kellogg “removes the opportunity to move to NYC” everyone I know who wanted to be in NYC for their internship/full time from Kellogg had no trouble making that happen.
