One of the things I often wonder about folks in the Consortium is a point well-articulated above. One of the most disappointing things about the B-School interview process was that I was never asked to explain what motivated me.

TheSenator has a very interesting thread on his blog pointing out that by his perception many in the Consortium seem to want the bread & butter of going to a school w/o getting the scores. I guess I wonder - for those shooting for MBB in consulting whatever school you choose... why?

What are you hoping to achieve? What's your motivation for your chosen field? You look at method's analysis above and he points out that Booth has twice the placement rate of Ross. I guess if you're only goal is to make a lot of money consulting, that's an awesome stat. But if not, why not?

I guess I wonder, often, about 'the why' of my peers. Would just like some insight as to why that's important. Insights welcome.

I love that you brought this up. It's something I've been thinking about long and hard. Unlike many people applying to business school, I like where I am. I have a great job, work with a wonderful group of people, make "enough" money to be decently comfortable, live two blocks from the ocean, have a great group of friends.

Sure, I don't feel as though I'm living to my "potential" which is why I decided to apply in the first place. But at the same time, it's crucial to think about why we want anything. It's easy to want something you don't have. It's hard to get it and realize it's not what you really wanted - and that worries me. Will prestige and financial rewards bring you happiness?

Curious to hear others' thoughts. I know this was geared more towards the financial goals underlying the decisions of many to attend business school, but I think it goes much farther than that.

Man, this is geeting deeper and deeper. We're getting into the human condition now,...philosophers have been asking these questions for long before the concept of B-school existed. For what its worth,..someone once said you shouldn't do things to be happy, you should strive to be happy with what you're doing. I know that sounds fortune cookie'ish,...but I took it to mean that some people are just happy regardless of what they're doing, and the opposite is also true,...and the best way to deal w/ it is trying tio be happy with whatever you're doing. The source of happiness is basically a mystery bro.

The way this convo is going I give it 2 pages max before we find ourselves discussing the existence of God, lol.

I have not. Still trying to make a decision: Ross or Stern? Ross or Stern? Ross or Stern?????????????

I am hoping I can get some sort of extension to mail in my paperwork as both schools have their preview days this weekend.

This is going to be a big weekend for me...

In a similar situation... considering a school outside of CGSM, but I think I'll need until May to make a "final" final choice. Going to call them today to see if an extension is possible.

I sent mine in, but got an interesting email from CGSM. They recommend I delay attending OP until 2013 since I'm dual-degree and not starting at the business school. One more thing to figure out. :?

The Consortium held an event in Los Angeles last week which was incredibly well put together. Everyone in attendance was great and several alumns were in attendance. Really sold the value of going to a Consortium school/being a part of an additional nationwide network.

For those trying to decide between a consortium school and an M7 school, did you see that Bain Diversity Pre-MBA program is only open to the M7 schools and Tuck? Given that I want to go into consulting, am I doing myself a disservice by choosing Stern over Kellogg?

You can get to Bain from either school. However, I think from the Bain Diversity Pre-MBA school list you can tell which is school is the bigger target for Bain. And when it comes to consulting no one beats Kellogg. Check out this Poets and Quants article https://poetsandquants.com/2011/11/16/mc ... ke-haas/2/. M/B/B each hire more grads from Kellogg than any other school (stats for HBS and Stanny not included). I think you also may have more leeway in terms of which offices location wise you recruit for if you go to Kellogg vs. Stern.

Just some food for thought.

Thanks for the link to the P&Q article.
I see that you're choosing among some of the best M7's. Have you decided yet?
