MATRICULATING AT STERN
------------------------------------
I'm based in Connecticut
I've been admitted to Stern and I've already interviewed at Booth.
Which school to choose (if accepted at both)?
Please be advised that both applications for weekend programs only and I’m currently in the consulting industry looking to stay.

*update - 1/25/21 - denied with interview at Kellogg
*update - 2/2/21 - denied with interview at Booth

Congrats on your admit and prospects! ;-)
I see you have registered a few years ago!

Booth and Kellogg names are stronger as brands and have some benefits when it comes to recruiting... however, during the normal years that requires staying close to the campus and shooting for interviews, meetups, coffee chats, etc in person. If you are in CT, how likely are you able to come down to Chicago for a Thur afternoon reception? or something along those lines? (This is the recruiting side of things).

Also, would you be recruiting in New York? East Coast? Again, Booth and Kellogg are very portable names and you can take them with you anywhere but it is nice to be in your own back yard and network with a bunch of Stern folks who are already on the east coast and could refer you for a job in their company right now. Again, not sure how useful that is to you.


There are a few FT students from Booth, Kellogg, and Stern but I am not sure I can tag anyone from the PT programs.... I would consider Brand vs. Recruiting vs. Logistics. People travel for PT programs all the time (a segment of folks but is it worth that effort? - is that going to make you happier and perform better or only make you miss out on opportunities, tire you out, and make you sleepy in the class?)

Congratulations on your admits!

In terms of brand in the consulting realm, I would say Kellogg > Booth > Stern. If you ever believe you want to do Finance, then I would say Booth > Stern > Kellogg.

Having said that, I would likely choose the school that you are more easily able to travel to. All 3 are Top 10 B-Schools and can help you achieve your goals. It will really boil down to cost and your willingness to travel a certain distance for the duration of the program.

If you get admitted to Kellogg or Booth, I would take one of them over Stern.

Hey y'all bb FinanceMan

*UPDATE*

I just heard back from Kellogg and unfortunately I've been denied. So now it's just between Stern & Booth.

FinanceMan I haven't yet. I had my interview (with a current student) exactly a week ago, 1/18, so probably might have to wait a bit, not exactly sure. We'll see.

Gotcha. I would not hesitate to go to Stern. If you get admitted to Booth, then take that route is travel is easy. However, Stern is a mighty fine B-School that many wish they could attend.

Thanks FinanceMan. I appreciate your input!

I'm considering Booth even though I'm aware that the travel may be a challenge (from Connecticut to Chicago). I feel like it would still be worth it.
Anyways, I believe this next semester (like other schools) will have classes that are virtual / hybrid, so I may not have to travel yet.

I guess the way I look at it right now is, I'm a Sternie until I hear back from Booth!
