I was fortunate to be admitted to all 4 schools with generous scholarships. My goal is to pivot from Consulting to Technology/Entrepreneurship, and I definitely want to be in the West Coast after graduation.
Looking for some advice as I evaluate my options below:
Wharton:
+ Brand name: Wharton brand gives more options down the road and potentially attracts more investors if I launch my own venture
+ Semester in SF: potential networking opportunities, though I've heard the program is competitive (everyone wants a spot)
- No Scholarship
- Not historically known for Tech/Entrepreneurship, though they've been making deliberate investments into these areas
Booth:
+ Strong entrepreneurship offerings: Polsky Center is one of the best
+ Flexible curriculum: "choose your own adventure", no core requirements, only pathways -> specialize earlier
+ Generous scholarship
- Lack of "cohort" spirit: I'm not forced to be in the same classes as X other people, will have to find my own network of friends and be more pro-active
- Brand name is less strong compared to Wharton
Kellogg:
+ Supportive student culture: known as the party school, students are tight-knit
+ Tech recruiting hub: Kellogg sends a high number of grads into Big Tech, especially in PM roles
+ Generous scholarship
- Not strong in entrepreneurship (i.e., if I'm a startup founder from Kellogg I don't think I'll get as much credibility compared to other 3 schools)
Haas:
+ Small class size: all students know each other, extremely tight-knit, easy to make life-long friends
+ Location: proximity to Big Tech + start-ups, California weather = get outside and meet more people
+ Strong dedicated programs for tech recruiting as well as entrepreneurship
+ Generous scholarship
- Not an M7. Brand name affects many opportunities down the road. Wharton will get me into doors that Haas may not be able to

Congratulations!
This is pretty amazing. Quick question, when you say tech/entrepreneurship, are you thinking start up or are you thinking venture-capital or? If you’re planning to have a start up, it would be very helpful not to have as much debt. It’s actually pretty unproductive to try to start your own venture well having to pay off your student loans at the same time….
Also, a lot of the tech these days is p.m. rolls full companies like Microsoft and Google and Apple and Amazon of course. It’s very different from any kind of entrepreneurship role since you’re working for some of the largest companies. It hardly requires a very strong brand or at least hardly makes a difference among the 4 schools you got admitted to.

Thanks, bb. I'm planning to work in tech after graduation while developing a start-up on the side. My goal is to quit my day job eventually to focus on growing the startup if it has potential after 3-5 years. Definitely agree that solely working on a startup right after graduation is a risky move
