Hi All,

I have been fortunate enough to receive offers to LBS and Kellogg.

I am British, looking to venture into management consulting and remain in London.

I think both schools represent tremendous opportunities but was hoping, especially with the corona crisis looming, for some advise and insight

Congrats on your admits! I assume it was your phone who was the culprit but Kellogg's is a cereal brand and you can only have it once a week since it is loaded with sugars and who knows what else. Kellogg on the other hand, you may not have at all as you may not get your visa in time.

I could see a pretty strong case for LBS here. I usually recommend attending the MBA program in the country where you plan to recruit.... though it is Kellogg and it is crunchy and sweet and so yummy.

I would recommend Kellogg's. The Choco crunch is amazing, and I hear they are recruiting.

Kellogg

You’re British, London remains somewhat open whatsoever

Treat yourself to a new experience

Am sure there are Kellogg alumni in London’s MC scene. The added American experience will bode well too given how connected London is to the USA

Congrats again in the admits!
I also really appreciate you updating the decision tracker :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Kellogg is a fantastic program. By pure comparison it is a notch above LBS, at least by the competitiveness of admissions.

My biggest concern would be Coronavirus and getting a student visa and all that stuff. It is also a pain to relocate and leave your network behind only to be recruiting later.

We have a fe Kellogg alums and students on GMAT Club but I would probably encourage you reaching out to a few in London and asking for their advice. See what they would do and chances are they will open a door for an internship or perhaps give you a bit of caution about recruiting from afar....

Frankly, if you are looking to stay in London and not leverage your MBA to try diff geographies, LBS should be your choice. But if you truly want to value your MBA (by networking and working alongside people from different geographies), Kellogg is a no brainer as let’s be honest that the opportunities in US are much more broader, especially on the consulting side, both from an industry vertical and/or functional aspects. LBS will not place you in US while Kellogg can def place you in London, if you want that.

Thank you all for you amazing insight. With regards to leverages geographies, I find LBS to be somewhat more of an opportunity with regards to this aspect at only 8% of the class is British.

Also, with regards to experience, obviously it’s not completely comparable, but the term exchange may provide some international opportunity

With this hard time and the COVID-19 situation, I would suggest choosing the safer option and going with LBS.

Hi all, decided to go with LBS. With covid and the visa situation in the states, LBS was very attractive. Also through reaching out to recruiters around the world, outside of the states, LBSs reputation trumped kellogg ( I have a feeling this club may be Americacentric haha).

I appreciate all the help and comments!
