Tuck for the street.

"...the art of good business, is being a good middle man, putting people togeather. It's all about honor and respect."
 

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.

 

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)
