Ok, guys! I am in a situation where I really need help making a decision. I have a deposit down at two schools and I am STILL having a really hard time deciding so I'd really love some advice
My post-MBA interest is in product management/ tech, specifically in verticals such as social, e-commerce, streaming, or start-ups(AirBnB) for example. I am interested in the start-up culture but its not as strong as I plan on getting experience first in a larger company before going the start-up route,
Kellogg Pros
- I love the culture at Kellogg and have really connected with the students and alumni there!
- The focus on softer skills and a more social environment
- Kellogg is also great for product management and I love how much they prepare you and hand-hold you to the process
- Evanston sucks, but being close to Chicago is so enlightening. In my conversation with Booth admits, there's an effort to have more joint events this year
- Opportunity to spend a quarter in the San Fran campus to get connected to start-ups
Kellogg Cons
- The brand prestige outside of the business school world. Ears perk up when you say MIT in a way that they do not when you say Kellogg or Northwestern. I'm an underrepresented minority woman, and having brand prestige attached to my school to lessen some of the biases I may face isn't something I considered until now. I know you're not supposed to think about that, but it's just how I feel.
MIT Pros
- I really loved the community as well when I attended the admit weekend. One thing that stood out to me was how passionate everyone was about their entrepreneurship endeavors and being in that environment will push me to put more thought into some of my own dreams and goals
- The start-up ecosystem and resources to support that
- The brand name - enough said
- The experiential opportunities with so many labs
- The money - now, I am only listing this last because I know you're supposed to take it off the table. However, considering how Kellogg and Sloan are peer schools, the difference is just so VAST that it is hard to ignore
. The freedom and flexibility an almost full ride affords cant be beaten.
MIT Cons
- The quant heavy curriculum/ academic-focused student body. I was an accounting major so I will be fine with the curriculum, but I wasn't looking for an academically rigorous program
- Diversity of pre-MBA professions. I work in tech consulting from a platform perspective (oracle, SAP, etc.) so I work heavily with engineers. Because of this, I just wanted some variety in my MBA pool, and MIT does not provide as much pre-MBA career variety as Kellogg
- I'm not a big fan of the NE, and Boston doesn't really excite me

Congratulations. Love that you paid both deposits. I would’ve probably done the exact same thing and would’ve been an exactly same situation. It takes me forever to make a decision. Thankfully, I’m hoping this will be fairly easy.
Kellogg is the best school for product management. It has the best curriculum, The best career resources end strong focus among students. Kellogg is the only MBA program I know off the distinguishes between product management and product marketing. Sloan is a great program and I’m sure your aunt and grandma have heard the name MIT versus Kellogg or northwestern, but in terms of choices unless you’re looking to work outside of the United States immediately after graduation, I would choose Kellogg. Sloan has lots of amazing things going but for product management, it is Kellogg. I would’ve made the same recommendation even if there is no money on the table. This isn’t money talking.
