Hey everybody,
I got super lucky recently and got admits to both Cambridge Judge as well as MIT Sloan.
Now I have to choose between two schools I would really like to attend and I hope that this community can help me make the right decision.
General Info
I am a 26 year old male from Germany and I currently do not have any children nor a significant other to factor into my decision.
My background is transportation & analytics and I would like to transition into MBB consulting.
Pros/Cons Cambridge Judge:
+ Amazing experience during interview day, really positive impression of potential classmates and staff
+ Super diverse student body (+90% international)
+ Much more affordable (1y duration + 10k Scholarship in addition to student housing that is subsidized by the colleges)
+ Stronger network in Europe due to proximity to London
+ Part of one of the worlds oldest and most respected universities
- Placement statistics are not as strong as other places such as LBS or INSEAD
- 1y program might offer less opportunity to network
- No summer internship to get "foot in the door"
Pros/Cons MIT Sloan:
+ My dream school since I started laying my eyes on doing an MBA
+ Hands on business school in the worlds education capital
+ Potential to choose additional classes from MIT or Harvard
+ Well respected brand around the globe
+ 2y duration offers chances for internship and more school participation
+ Strong placements in consulting and tech
- Among the most expensive b-schools in the world
- Expensive housing in Boston/Cambridge
- Potential visa issues pre studies (I currently only hold a B1/B2 visa)
- Potential visa issues post studies (The whole H1B conundrum)
I did not share my current thoughts beyond those opinions mentioned above as I did not want subject you guys to any bias.
Please help me out.
Best regards,
Chris

Congratulations Arro44! Great to see a post from you 
I am just going to say it, I would regret not going to the school of my dreams. That just seems like selling a dream if the main driver is financial, like I dont want to buy the house I am dreaming of, so I will get this cottage instead and just paint it brighter colors to cheer me up.
If you want to be in the US, then really it is only Sloan. It is an M7 School with amazing reputation and name that transcends to any region. Carbridge is yes, also well known, but Judge does not share that reputation yet and as you mentioned trails behind LBS, INSEAD in Europe and a few other worldwide MBA programs. But then if you intend to be in Europe long term, I can see an argument of not leaving the area and focusing there... I could perhaps understand, though perhaps not support
MBB is very strong at Sloan and I feel would give you a much stronger shot at it. I would also like to emphasize the summer internship since you are pivoting your role and may need some umph with recruiting. I feel the internship is going to be a huge element in the transition.
If you are bored, it would be interesting and help to get a bit of an idea of what cost and salary differentials you are looking at (e.g. Sloan is $200K total vs. Judge $50K) and then $190K Sloan Comp package vs ??? at Judge? (Also makes sense to look at tax rates/take home/quality of life to make the numbers more real)
I would not be concerned about a visa PRE-MBA. I have not heard any horror stories about that and feel that's a very low risk, unless there is something you are not telling us
Congratulations man! Here is my biased opinion
PS. What about LBS in R2? Neh?
