Hey thanks for your question.

I had a similar dilemma when choosing between Kellogg and Haas for my full-time MBA (the former was ranked slightly higher). Ultimately, because I knew I wanted to work in tech, I chose Haas and now work in product management at Facebook (and previously at Google).

Both Booth and Haas are fantastic schools. Although Booth is ranked higher, I think Haas will better suit your career goals, especially if you are interested in product management. Haas's incoming class starting in Fall 2017 had 45% coming from tech - as those folks are likely still working, this gives you really good networking opportunities with your classmates who are already working for your target companies: https://ewmba.haas.berkeley.edu/communi ... ofile.html

On the other hand, Booth's Weekend MBA class only features ~12% in tech (including biotech): https://www.chicagobooth.edu/programs/weekend

Location-wise, being located in Silicon Valley with easy access to top tech companies and startups will likely be more advantageous as well. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions!

I need some help. I am admitted into both HAAS and Booth Weekend programs. I am working professional(SW) with no employer funding and work in Sanfrancisco Bay area.

I need help in deciding the programs. I am yet unclear of my post MBA career but possibilities are product management, consulting or my own venture e.t.c

Booth seems to have higher overall program reputation and recognition than HAAS. But HAAS tops in part-time MBA program.
Booth program is aligned to financial side while HAAS seems tech centric.

I am wondering if someone can shed some light whether commuting to Booth for 3 years(relocating is not an option :( ) is worthy effort for the additional reputation with Booth(for any leverage with fin/consulting/mbb).

Please help.
