Title just about covers it. Been accepted to these 3 MBA programs and unsure if the “Ivy League” name of Yale carries more weight than the current #1 ranking of Booth’s MBA. Kellogg is also ranked higher than SOM, but lower than Booth, but I would argue that the people/culture seem the most relaxed. Any recommendations on where to go to place well in IB?

What are post MBA goals and location preferences
Staying in IB in the US, slight preference for east coast but can be flexible.
Booth will give you the most options in terms of sheer number of banks that come to recruit but your “chances” at getting a position will be roughly the same at any of these schools.
yale
if youre gonna recruit for ib associate, the answer is booth
Booth would be best and also provide the best chances if you want to lateral into PE after (would still be a difficult move, but you'd maximize your chances nevertheless)
As a Booth alum, I’d say that you would easily achieve your IB goal post-MBA by going to either Booth or Kellogg. I cannot speak to Yale due to my lack of familiarity with the program and having never encountered Yale alums through work, but I do think there is a meaningful drop-off in brand recognition and presence on the street between Yale and Booth/Kellogg. I don’t think the ivy-league name of Yale makes a meaningful difference in the circles that matter — everyone in banking, particularly those that do recruiting, understand the difference between the reputations of the undergrad program and the MBA program at all three schools.
Regardless, congrats! You have a great path ahead!
How would you rank Columbia in the mix?
For IB probably CBS/Booth > Kellogg. The only difference is the small boutiques that will show up for CBS and maybe Booth. For example, Raine, Centerview, Allen & Co. etc. all recruit at CBS (and most probably Booth) but won't spend the time at Kellogg. Unless you have specific industry/firm interests it won't matter too much. They'll collectively hire something like 5 people out of the 100 that recruit at a place like CBS. You'll get the same looks for the traditional BBs and EBs at either.
