Hi all. Was lucky enough to get into both and now thinking where I really want to go
Currently learning towards Harvard because:
Positives for Stanford IMO:
Am I missing something? Just want to make sure I make the right decision now that the ball is now in my court
Currently learning towards Harvard because:
- Better recruiting in almost every industry (tech recruits pretty broadly)
Access to MIT classes (for entrepreneurship negates the value of Stanford)
Larger class = broader network
Unparalleled brand name and international prestige (internationally from what I've gathered, it's Harvard > Wharton > Stanford in terms of recognition)
Positives for Stanford IMO:
- Nicer weather (although Boston is pretty)
"Easier" MBA compared to HBS

Congrats for both wow schools
I vote for HBS, It has its vibe and name Internationally if you choose to pursue career. It is does not mean that Stanford won't provide that opportunity but again it is HBS. If you pursue entrepreneurship or tech, Stanford will ideally your destination but tech recruits from HBS. It is great that you have also access to MIT entrepreneurship classes. Attending 2 great schools in mba are significant experience IMO.
Unless you have significant scholarship from Stanford, I will choose HBS. I want to star may career debt free.
Good luck

The main reason to pick GSB would be VC or a similar post-mba goal.
There are some substantial differences between the two programs - the teaching method at HBS being mostly case-based and Stanford a bit more traditional lecture approach. That's a big difference to me at least. Recruiting is also different at these schools - GSB has a smaller class and is on the west coast so not as many East Coast Fancy pants companies make it to the on-campus recruiting. However, I doubt you would have issues finding a job with either one. I would caution you about the size of the network though - it is not the size but the quality that matters here. I could argue that Tuck's and Stanford's networks are probably stronger than HBS's due to the size of the programs. Smaller is usually stronger and more likely to yield success in connecting with an alum.
I think HBS still wins in many/most cases. In terms of GSB advantages, they are somewhat superficial - weather would be one; lifestyle and CA vibe - more relaxed; if you were planning to stay on West coast, that would be one more reason.
Congratulations!
