Stern ($$$) vs Anderson ($) vs Johnson ($) [#permalink] New post   13 Mar 2020, 20:45
Dear fellow MBA applicants,

Thanks to my hard work during the past year, I finally received MBA offers from Stern with a full-ride scholarship as well as Anderson and Johnson each with a half scholarship. I am an international student and I plan to join the VC/PE industry post-MBA. To get myself well prepared, I am now doing an internship in a VC company in my home country. I know this can be tough, and I also accept to work in investment management or investment banking if I cannot join a VC/PE firm due to severe competition. Considering all these factors, could you kindly share with me your advice about which school to choose? Personally I have a preference over Stern because of its location, strong resources in financial industry and a larger amount of scholarship. However, I am worried that my consideration may not be comprehensive enough. Thank you for your comments!

My 2 cents: go ahead with Stern! The full ride makes a big difference - and is a positive factor for recruiters too. Keeping the $$ aspect aside, Stern, being in the heart of NYC and with its focus on finance, will give you incredible networking opportunities.

Stern! Easily! The best finance school on your list is also the one that gave the most money. With a recession coming, you’ll find it easier to be at a finance school (Stern) located in NYC.

Remember PE/VC jobs are easier at Harvard, and Stanford (and sometimes af Wharton/Kellogg). This by no means suggests that those schools are better, but it’s just a preference-like the MBBs going to Tuck (I am working with BCG/Tuck kids now and they’re not extraordinary)
PE jobs are not easy at even a Booth when most PE firm founders are from Booth.
The best approach here is to go to Stern and try for PE/VC, if you don’t get PE/VC-get an IB job, transition to PE/VC after a few years.
At school build your resume to be hired by top IBs, like get a CFA if needed.
Good luck!
