Schools: Wharton '17 (A) Sloan '17 (A$) HBS '17 (A)
Hello all,
I received offers from wharton (no $) and sloan (w/ 30k), and would love to hear your advice on which school better fits my career goals.
Here's my profile:
- 26, female
- 4 years work experience, business analytics function in a F500 company
Post MBA goal:
- internal strategic planning in tech/consumer products/retail
- or consulting (hopefully in one of the big 3)
- hope to base in NYC/SF
My first choice was Wharton, but sloan's fellowship and more research started making this a hard decision. I have already contacted Wharton to match sloan's offer, but didn't get it. I know in a long run, $30k is probably negligible. Also, I have visited both schools and talked to my friends in both schools. People/environment wise, I think I will be happy in either school.
Which school would you choose? Any insight/comment is greatly appreciated! Would love to hear your thoughts on strategic planning and consulting opportunities, long-term network or any general school pros/cons? Thank you so much for your help!!

In terms of recruiting, this is a wash. You'll have access to all the recruiters you want from both schools, especially MBB.
In terms of brand, both are incredibly strong. Wharton is stronger in finance circles and Sloan is stronger in tech circles. My guess would be MIT as a whole has a slightly stronger network in SF and vice versa for Penn in NYC. In all likelihood, once you get a few years out (especially if you land a job at MBB), your performance and post-MBA network will matter more than whether you went to Sloan or Wharton.
If I were you, I would be making my decision based on the type of experience you want to have in business school. Sloan only has ~400 students per class, versus the ~850-900 of Wharton. I would expect that Wharton wouldn't be as tight-knit or that it wouldn't feel like as much of a community, but I encourage you to stress test that with both schools. For what it's worth, last year we had someone turn down a full ride to Wharton to come to Sloan.
I likewise came into business school wanting to do consulting and fulfilled that objective. If I were in your shoes, I would choose Sloan (but obviously I am biased as I never applied to Wharton
).

30k isn't a whole lot in the general scheme of things here - if it were a full ride the choice would be obvious. The schools are very very close to one another with Wharton having the slight edge. Given you're into tech however, that edge is lost IMO and they balance out. Having the ability to tell recruiters you went there after being offered a scholarship might be worth something...?
