I just read a couple of threads from folks facing a similar decision. I am deciding between Wharton vs. Kellogg, which has offered me a $125K scholarship.
I am all about name and prestige so I was pretty set on Wharton until I read some of the feedback on those other threads and from a mentor of mine. Call it pride, but my main priority is having a reputable name on my resume because people will be seeing it for the rest of my career.
Aside from the brand name, I would like to go into banking/PE. I'm essentially a career changer; I've been dabbling in finance, but my roles have been non-traditional (worked in middle office, at a securities law firm doing research, now in corporate finance). Hence, my career interests in finance, particularly banking, make me lean toward Wharton. Would Kellogg offer me similarly strong opportunities to switch into banking?
I would greatly appreciate feedback! Thank you so much.

That's probably not going to be the case. Would someone be looking at your b-school early in your career? Yes, definitely. 20 years from now? I had no idea where the CEO from my own employer got his MBA from until I read his linkedin profile just now. Apparently he went to Chicago Booth.

I believe your MBA will follow you, even 20 years from now. It probably won't be used to get you a job, but it will always be on your bio- I guess that is my point.
