Tuck for the street.
Kellogg for MBB recruiting prospects.
Kellogg for both IB & MBB.
Both of them excellent choices for consulting, you are splitting hairs in terms of career opportunities, academics and prestige (Kellogg being more mainstream, but both almost equal for those who will be making hiring decisions). I would say focus on lifestyle (urban versus outdoorsy), your Midwest vs eastern coast preferences, and cultural fit.
i think both probably do similar numberwise for recruiting numbers for their size, maybe slight edge to kellogg, but kellogg also will probably have more geographic flexibility for placement just due to the sheer size and placement of their consultants
tuckies fight to the death with a wooden fork for eachother though
Kellogg vs Tuck for VC/PE/Entrepreneurship (Originally Posted: 05/15/2013)
In at both schools and looking to get into VC/PE or start my own company out of b-school. I know Tuck has the Center for PE and Entrepreneurship and is surprisingly strong in PE (though not sure how much they slide down the scale to VC, which is what I'm more interested in). Kellogg also has a center for PE and VC, but I haven't really heard as much about their alumni network in the space. Anyone have insight on which has a greater alumni presence for getting into VC/PE?
I would go with Tuck for their strength in the PE arena -- I dont think either is notably all that powerful in the entrepreneurship area
Honestly man, you can't learn entrepreneurship in a class. They just repeat age-old knowledge you can learn online and actual startup practice. Convertible Notes, VC Funding, Laws pertaining to certain fields, stock agreements, shareholder agreements, all that stuff takes a quick google search.
Don't go to school for entrepreneurship, it's like going to school to learn "art", both are pointless degrees.
Go for PE, get a relevant degree so if the whole startup thing doesn't work, you have a backup plan.
Besides, we're in a startup bubble anyway. Now we just have to wait for the next pets.com to crash the whole system. VC Funding is a good path to ease into later down the road, it's easy, and a lot of it is based on merit and age unfortunately. (like Congress)
appreciate the insight and thoughts lambie. Bump for anyone else to comment on?
