Okay, my turn to bug you. I think this one might be a bit more complicated than the average "which school" thread, so I hope it doesn't bore you.
I have two admits - one from Yale with a 25% scholarship graduating in 2011 and one for Kellogg's one-year (1Y) program that starts in late June and ends in June 2010.
FYI, I applied to the 1Y program to minimize cost and time, the time issue mostly being that my girlfriend of 5 years cannot move with me and will stay in Boston. I have an undergrad business degree, so I meet the requirements for the 1Y program.
Background info: I have worked at one company for my entire career, a tiny biotech company where I have essentially been in a management rotation program in that I've had a lot of different, but significant, responsibilities. My post-MBA goal is to join a big biotech company (think Genzyme, Genentech, etc.) or something else in the drug development field working in general management, strategic planning and/or corporate development (consulting and VC are also of interest, yet less feasible). Long-term I would like to work at small biotech companies, possibly starting my own with technologies developed by my scientist friends.
Here are the pros and cons I have identified so far:
YALE
Pros:
- Cachet with laymen (Yale)
- Cool curriculum
- Small class size
- Enter workforce later (2011)
- Good opportunities in social enterprise/non-profit/development, which my alternate career of interest
- Generally a simpler, more convenient "transition" from my current situation
- Hanging out at ninkorn's swank apartment
Cons:
- Almost non-existent biotech/pharma recruiting (not sure if this is due to a lack of student interest)
- Much less respected MBA program (ugly duckling of Yale University)
- 2 years of trying to maintain a long-distance relationship
- Small alumni network
- Let's face it: New Haven (bad city, but geographically convenient)
KELLOGG
Pros:
- Highly respected/ranked overall
- Very strong biotech/pharma program
- Almost 100% electives
- Tight-knit 1Y class within a big overall alumni network
- Slightly less expensive (assuming no non-debt financial aid received from Kellogg)
- Best class I attended during all B school visits
- Only 1 year of trying to maintain a long-distance relationship
Cons:
- Less time to enjoy the overall B school experience
- Enter workforce earlier (2010)
- Less time to gain leadership positions in clubs
- Surrounded only by 1Y consultants going back to M/B/B? (not sure)
- Looked upon less favorably by recruiters than 2Y program? (not sure)
- No internship opportunity
- Have to start earlier (June vs. September)
- Strong competition in biotech/pharma recruiting
What say you? Thanks!

I'm biased but IMO Kellogg > Yale
if you asked them to name an M7 school. In fact, my friend said the Yale's Ivy League name actually pulls a lot of weight. (going back to bostonsparky's comments)
