I have been accepted to Stanford, Wharton, Booth, and Columbia business schools. I am interested in management consulting, but my long term goal is to start a search fund and buy a company. I am interested in entrepreneurship, but I would also love to work in the northeast US. I could use help in determining which is a better option. Money is not a factor here, as both Stanford and Booth will be full rides and Wharton and Columbia will be mostly covered for tuition and mandatory fees. Help?

Wow! Awesome choices! I feel all of these programs can meet your needs and would be a great experience that helps you form life-long relationships. Ultimately to raise money, you will need connections and credibility. You will need to impress future investors and instill confidence in them and while both Booth and Columbia are very impressive schools, Stanford and Wharton are a group of their own. Even further, Stanford has the lowest admit rate of them all and is the most exclusive program.
Besides access to capital, it would be helpful to have solid networking with entrepreneurs and future partners as well as building a network of potentiall future employees. I am not sure if a connection to the VC community and funds in Bay Area with Stanford would be a better choice than that more traditional finance connections at Wharton.
My 2 cent investment right here
PS. To clarify, assumed the venture would be in the US but if you’re planning to be based outside of the US, Wharton may have a much bigger network in a particular region. For example many Countries send their top finance people or Africa presidents kids to Wharton.

Yes, I am planning on working in the US. I think that makes Stanford the clear choice here, right? I think the school opens doors in VC or other investors that I would need to run a successful search fund. Additionally, Stanford still keeps the management consulting option open, I think. Wharton is amazing, though. That’s really the conundrum here. Wharton or Stanford...
Also, as an update, I have been offered a full tuition fellowship to Columbia. Stanford and Booth are also full rides. Wharton, however, will cost me some money. Most of the tuition is covered, but not all, so financially, Wharton is not looking the best.

so I am definitely made from different stuff.
