Hi guys,
I'd very much like your thoughts on my situation.
I am admitted to both LBS (with some money) and Wharton.
My post-MBA goals sit in the financial sphere, somewhere in the grey area between investment banking and investment management. Location wise, I have tilt towards London, purely because my girlfriend cannot switch easily to the US at all. Also worth mentioning I have been living in London for a few years now.
The way is see things right now:
Overall brand name: Wharton without doubt
From a finance point of view: Wharton (although LBS is certainly strong as well)
Location - job-wise: LBS (although I know Wharton's presence in Europe and especially in London is significant so I suppose it would not be too hard to find something in London while attending Wharton)
Location -girlfriend & family-wise: LBS without doubt
Price: LBS
Mitigating factors for Wharton location-wise are:
- the possibility to do an exchange at LBS or INSEAD
- I still can (and intend to) intern in London during the summer
One more thought: Brexit can impact things in London so it may be "safer" to get US experience, especially in the finance industry.
I have a good feeling with both schools.
What do you guys think?
Thanks

That's a difficult one. I wrote why Wharton and deleted it (primarily brand value), and then wrote why LBS (primarily because I think long distance is painful) and deleted it. Good luck!
