LOL, so true. Have you decided which school you'll attend?
From what I've noticed, Yale SOM is attracting more students, so perhaps it's 20%+ is in terms of number of applications. I wonder if the new building might also contribute something to that? Whomever that posted the 20%+ should just clarify since we're all speculating!
I had a call with a current student at Yale last night that all but had me handing my deposit over! Every interaction I've had with Yale students has been immensely positive.
On the Kellogg front, I have an admit student event on Thursday and a call on Friday with a current student, so we'll see if things change...I've said this elsewhere, but Kellogg has a lot of catching up to do.
The building certainly isn't hurting! I hate to say that it's a draw for me. Does that make me superficial?
That's great to hear you're talking to the students and weighing your decision! I visited Yale (applied R2 so waiting/anxious right now), and loved the environment there, and there sure was a buzz going on about the new building.
I don't think it's that "superficial" since I think it's great that the school is investing in its infrastructure to provide you with a better studying/networking environment, and if you're going to spend that much money (and some years later to pay off), then in a way, you'll get to see the tangible results of *your* investments. But of course, the decision is more comprehensive than that, such as post-grad career direction and the location/community, etc., so I guess after considering those other factors and if all things are equal, I'd know which school (or building) it would be!! LOL.
Either way, all the best!! Where you are now is a good place to be!
