Booth vs CBS MBA
I was accepted to Booth and CBS recently via the deferred enrollment route for college seniors, and having a difficult time deciding between the two. I was also accepted to Darden & Tepper with significant scholarships to both, but seeing as I have 2-5 years to come up with $$ to fund the MBA I'd prefer Booth/CBS for better networking/prestige etc.
A little bit about me/goals: non-target female looking to work in IB during deferment (2-5 yrs) and current SA in MM PEAG hoping to secure return offer. Post mba- I'm hoping to transition to buy-side @ strong PE shop (preferably MF).
I have exp in both nyc & chi and rly have no preference on city~so the main drivers here are which will set me up for success in PE recruitment/networking and school culture/vibe overall. Any insights are greatly appreciated.
I'm a huge fan of the Columbia MBA and the NYC location. I would choose CBS.
You didn't even go to Columbia you purple haired weirdo
I never said I went to CBS but do have ties to NYC and Columbia and don’t have purple hair so not sure where you’re coming from, intern.
Uchicago has a very rigorous Finance curriculum and old money prestige. CBS has a great reputation as well and location.
One question you’ll need to answer here J’s whether you want to be in NYC long-term. If so, then CBS is it. Otherwise it really is a toss-up between the two, though booth is ranked higher.
one thing to call out is that you’ll likely find it extremely difficult to recruit into PE, let alone MF, without pre-MBA PE experience
What’s does MM PEAG stand for?
Out of the schools you mentioned, I see the most Columbia grads in finance so that’s prob your best bet.
It's most likely Gugg she's talking about. OP go with Booth.
