Making a choice between:
CBS ($50K total) - Estimated budget for two years $220K total ($170K after $)
Kellogg MMM (No $) - Estimated budget for two years $240K total
Considerations:
- Currently living in NYC, but open to moving. Only consideration is post-MBA would like to be in NYC or SF.
- Looking to transition from strategy consulting into product management in tech companies. (No technical background for undergrad or work)
- Money is a consideration given cost will be self-financed using loans, and tech does not have huge bonuses like banking (Difference of $70K)
- International background so may have to work abroad at some point
Current Thoughts / Concerns:
- Both seem to have the same set of recruiters; unsure if the numbers are similar-ish
- Kellogg appears to have a stronger community of like-minded students interested in PM. Might be helpful. Unsure if CBS does.
- Community seems way stronger at Kellogg. Network seems more responsive at Kellogg. Do not have enough data points for CBS and wondering if it is just a NYC vs Midwest vibe.
- Kellogg has more experiential class (working on projects with real companies) but CBS has ability to do in-semester internship
Appreciate any insights or thoughts.

I don't know.... i can see the allure of MMM program but I don't know that it is truly that much of an edge when comes to employment. One great thing about Kellogg is that it lets its PT students participate in the recruiting events (most FT programs do not and give priority to FT students), so while it is great for PT students, I feel it is an increased competition to FT.
Taking into consideration you will want to move to East/West coast in the end, and you live in NYC right now, that only means more cost/transition. I would see about making you feel better about Columbia or making you hate it - perhaps more research and chats with current students/alums; not sure where your Kellogg data is coming from but CBS is pretty strong and two schools are somewhat on par in many ways.
Congratulations! You have two great options.
