Kellogg vs Columbia, which M7 to choose?
hello,
I recently made it to the deferred MBA programs at Columbia Business School and Kellogg School of Management, but I am now having trouble deciding between the two schools.
My Profile: I'm a 21-Year-old, male from India, and I recently graduated from St. Stephen's College, Delhi with a bachelor's in Economics. I'll be joining McKinsey & Company as a Business Analyst, where I plan to work for 2-3 years before matriculating at one of these schools.
Post-MBA Goals:
Option 1: I will either return to McKinsey as an associate (depending on my experiences in Consulting pre-MBA) in the US, and then transition to PE/VC in the long term.
Option 2: Enter Tech (primarily FAANG or a Pre-IPO start-up) in a Product Management or a Strategy Role; if I enjoy this I might continue in Tech or transition to a VC firm like Sequoia or a16z.
Option 3: Recruit with a VC/PE firm directly post-MBA (this option will be better if I get to work at PE/VC pre-MBA after 1 or two years of McKinsey)
Location Preferences: Wish to settle in either New York City or the West Coast.
Given, the options, my profile, and career goals, which program should I choose?
Many thanks in advance for your input!
I’d lean towards Kellog based on your career options. It’s probably be better networking wise as well and I feel is the better school all around.
