I know you’re looking for some arguments to convince you to go to LBS and the only one I got is that my cousin is going but that’s about it :lol:

Congratulations on your admits!

Is this even a question? Even Winston Churchill wouldn't choose LBS over HBS

I bet Boris Johnson would tell everyone he’s going to LBS and then secretly attend Harvard only to drop out and start his own university :-)

All jokes aside, I think part of your choice may become doing LBS in person if you are British or Harvard online if you are not American and require a visa. I will probably still do Harvard online...

I enrolled at HBS (Also I'm American and will not require a visa luckily), was just curious to hear people's thoughts-- point taken! LBS is a great school and hard to give up but agree that HBS will open more doors :)

That's good. Then definitely would choose HBS (it will transcend all borders and industries simply because you just can't do better) and that will beat starting LBS online potentially if COVID19 shifts everything online in the fall.

Congrats on both admits! Definitely see where you're coming from, I chose LBS over Wharton in R1, but have a close friend at HBS who just tried to recruit for summer internships in London. Her plans did shift a bit in light of Covid, but she was able to secure startup internship options in London. This did require leveraging connections across her undergrad/consulting firm/ HBS since she didn't have a lot of formal support from the school and required sponsorship in the UK. As you know, the companies coming to HBS aren't recruiting for their London offices. Not sure what types of firms you're looking at or where you have citizenship, but as long as you're prepared to network a bit more, you should be fine if you choose HBS.
