I am very lucky to have been admitted to both Wharton and Booth, with a very generous scholarship from Booth.
My decision is made hard by the fact that my interests after an MBA are within data-based marketing decisions, an area that neither school is necessarily known for. From my research, it seems like Wharton has a stronger marketing program, but the scholarship from Booth is very alluring.
Is part of the Chicago advantage the ability to intern or work with startups while in school?
I know I cannot discuss all of the intricacies of the decision on this board. Culture is a factor, but I feel like I ultimately could be happy with either school. Any thoughts?

Congrats. You are lucky to be accepted in those two great schools.
You are right both schools are not known for marketing focus. The employment reports for both schools attached show the same level of marketing (around 7%). So I advise you to go deeply into both core and elective courses to find which will serve you goal. I think also you need not only to check marketing course but also business analytic courses.
In both schools, you will find big career service and startup clubs that connect you with business and alumni. Both schools will serve you. However, if you think to work during school, you can do it in second year as first year is intense. I have some friends who did that.
After comparison, if you find all are almost equal, so you need to consider the scholarship. It is nice to start your career life burden-free from loans.
I hope it helps

I can't speak for Wharton, but as a current Booth student, I can confirm that there are tons of opportunities to work with startups in Chicago during the school year. The labs may be of interest to you - https://www.chicagobooth.edu/programs/fu ... emics/labs. Good luck with the decision!
