Kellogg x Stern x Tuck ($)
Hey guys, I have recently been admitted to the FTMBA of the following schools: Kellogg, Stern and Tuck. Im international career switcher focusing on IB. Would really appreciate thoughts on that to help me with this tough decision.
From my Pov:
Stern is probably the best for pure IB, but has a way higher COL and also less of a name in case in the future i decide to switch industries again.
Kellogg has probably the biggest prestige being an M7 and constantly been highly ranked, the community and campus is great but it is not so known as a finance school, being stronger in consulting and marketing. I know people have been succesful in landing IB jobs there but my concern is the smaller alumni network and the support from peers in recruiting, since there are less peiple focusing on IB.
Tuck is a great school with solid IB placement and the smallest IB placement, has the “ivy league prestige” and a close knit community who tends to help each other. Just like Kellogg, not so big IB alumni network and living isolated in Hanover could make the recruiting proccess and coffee chats more difficults and impersonal.
I am having a hard time deciding since all of them are excelent schools and i see a lot of Pros and also the possibility of achieving good results in any of them. Would really appreciate to hear your vision about it

Kellogg
Here's the thing about Kellogg. All the big banks allocate a couple spots for Kellogg students, and like 10% of the class (or less) goes for banking, which means the competition is really low and basically everyone gets multiple offers. The banking club's prep might not be quite as good as like a Cornell, but it's good enough to get you plenty of offers. And it's the best school in all the other ways.
Never pick a school named after a cereal box grampa always said
Kellogg
FWIW I went to Tuck but you’ll probably not have much of a material difference in your outcome. Would just go where you will enjoy the experience the most and click with the people the most.
