Fortunate to have been admitted to both MIT Sloan (no $) and Kellogg ($80k total scholarship). Any input or advice appreciated!
I’ve worked for MBB for 3 years and am interested in healthcare. Considering taking MBB sponsorship but would ideally like to pivot into life sciences/health tech.
I’m generally very outgoing/social. I also do care a good amount about having a “brand name” school.
Current thinking:
Kellogg
Pros: scholarship, fun/outgoing peers, close community in Evanston
Cons: I’m not drawn to the Midwest, and am uncertain if Northwestern will provide enough of a career boost vs. my current role in MBB
Sloan
Pros: MIT brand, strength as research institution, proximity to Boston bio pharma scene
Cons: Nerdier/quieter student body
THANK YOU for your thoughts!!

Congrats on your admits and your hard work!
I guess if you take the sponsorship option, you would not have to worry about the tuition but then you have to spend 2-4 years with your employer? What is the downside?
As to the culture and student body. I think that's generalizations and while many generalizations and averages are true, it does not mean that's what your experience will be. BSchool have extremely diverse classes and MIT does not admit only nerds. They know that's how they are perceived so you are almost certain to have some Spanish DJ's and Brazilian models in the Sloan class... the classes are also big enough such that you can find your niche and your group and your circle. You will have many circles (Pharma recruiting circle, MBB circle, bar hopping circle, workout circle, roommmates, etc). Sometimes these overlap but sometimes not. The biggest misconception is the admit weekend. People attend it and make up their mind based on meeting 5% of the incoming class, half of which will not enroll along with hand-picked second-year students who will be out before you come in. I would remove the culture out of the equation because you can control quite a bit of that.
