Hi all,
I'm incredibly grateful to have been accepted to my top two schools, but now need to decide which will be "the one."
I received a Dean's Scholarship from Sloan for $50k and nothing from Yale.
I'm interested in social impact within the private sector -- in particular, creating sustainable supply chains and business models from a human capital standpoint, and especially promoting female-owned SMEs in developing countries. I know both schools are strong in social impact and sustainability, but is one better than the other for my particular interest?
In general, a strong, tight-knit and collaborative community is important to me. For example, I love that SOM does "closing bell" every Thursday after class. Does Sloan have something similar where the whole community comes together every week?
In terms of academics, I have a total liberal arts background. I like the idea of showing the world that, despite my background, I can still deal with numbers, but I've heard Sloan is particularly quant-heavy. Anyone have experience at Sloan from a liberal arts background?
From what I saw when visiting, I loved both communities - both in terms of people and location. I just got the call from Sloan this morning, but have been going back and forth on what I would do if I was lucky enough to get into both...I would love any guidance and happy to provide more info on myself if helpful!
Thanks!

Are you kidding? Go to Sloan! They gave you money, and it is freaking MIT. Liberal Arts Background + Tech Genius School = More career options. Shouldn't you go to the school that is guaranteed to give you in-demand quant skills that you can apply anywhere, including in the development sector?
Besides, the whole tight-knight community is present at a lot of schools, Sloan being one of them. Would you pay $50,000 for the experience of having weekly community meetings in business school? Would you pay ~$700 a week for closing bell (whatever that is)? That's what you're doing by going to SOM. Unless there is another reason you prefer SOM?

Congratulations! What an awesome problem to have 
I actually like Yale's community a bit more than Sloan's, but in your case, Sloan makes so much more sense. If you are worried about academics/workload, perhaps reach out to current students? I'm sure there are plenty of non-traditional candidates at Sloan too.
