Which school, between Booth and Haas, will you matriculate if your post-MBA goal is to work in fintech in the U.S. and you receive 50% tuition scholarship from Booth and 100% tuition scholarship from Haas?

Congrats on your admits!

kmwantstogoschool may be able to help get a sense about Booth. We don't have anyone active I know of from Haas at the moment (not that they are busy) unfortunately.

P.S. with the current economic climate the scholarship may look more attractive now than a few weeks ago...

Hey OP! Booth does place people in FinTech, more in Chicago (eg:Venmo) and NYC (startups). Fewer in the Bay. If you’re set on the Bay Area, I would pick Haas. If you’re location agnostic I would still probably pick Haas but it’s fair to then decide based on other factors such as academics, student engagement, culture, fit etc.

Haas all the way. Proximity to FinTech Bay oops. Smaller class to compete with. Elite name.

OP - I'm a Haas grad and I chose Haas over Booth, among other schools. I also got more money at Haas. I have 0 debt from my MBA and I couldn't be happier. In my opinion, if you can achieve your goals and get out with less debt, that is a huge thing.

I would recommend Haas 100%, but to feel more comfortable, you should figure out what's most important to you and decide based on that. In addition to career outcomes, consider any other factors that you think are important (e.g. location, culture, ranking, whatever). You could even weigh them and score them to get an idea of how the two options stack up. Although I'm completely satisfied, what matters is that you're making the right decision for you.
