Hi and congratulations on your admits.
That was a great job!!!
I feel your chances for consulting recruiting would be somewhat similar out of Yale as they would be out of Booth. Booth in particular place as well in the Chicago MBB offices which are more strategic focus on management consulting as a post to IT or other industry types of consulting.
If you were considering anything finance related, booth booth be a strong choice in that case. It is a top program and an M7… Yale on the other hand has a strong international name that is much more recognizable than University of Chicago or booth.
I personally would be tempted by the Yale‘s offer. If you’re still figuring out what you want to do, it may be good to minimize your expenses. At the same time another school of thought would argue that booth would provide you with the most fire power for when you will figure out what do you want to do with your career as a plan A or B or C.
Consulting recruiting is very competitive in both programs. Two out of 3 MBB’s actually recruit international applicants. There is the second tier with Deloitte and Accenture and some small consulting firms as an option. However, those positions are also fairly competitive and requires strong presentation skills. Having analytical background is not enough. Being smart is not enough. You must be able to impress the client and you must be able to impress during your interview. If interviewing and presentations are not your strengths, I would start working on those skills. You can absolutely build them and improve them. It is not something you’re born with, it is something you can learn to do. At the same time, I would not put all your eggs in the basket since it’s just competitive. There’s always a chance not to make the cut. Therefore, I would focus on your Plan B and hopefully that will solidify your decision. By the way, I would not wait to develop your Plan B when you start school. There is some myths that once you start business school, you gain this secret knowledge and everything becomes clear, no, you’re just very short on time and sleep. Start your research as soon as possible. I made the mistake of waiting 😬

Thank you bb for the well-rounded feedback!
The two schools of thought you mentioned are exactly my dilemma. Each has its merits.
As you said, consulting will be equally competitive no matter where I go, so I suppose it shouldn’t be a deciding factor.
As for finance, I’d love to build skills in the field, but as a finance layman, I might not be able to take full advantage of Booth’s offerings even if I attend the school.
