PLS HELP - Booth vs Yale SOM vs Job
Hi, I have received the following offers and am very confused about where to go from here. I have a top undergrad but it was not in the US.
- Chicago Booth Master in Finance (15 months)
- Yale School of Management Master's in Asset Management (9 months)
- Private Equity job at an asset management firm (i.e. not a tier 1 PE role)
Please help me with this decision. Yale sounds like a great brand but people keep saying Chicago booth would help me more in terms of network value. I would be an international student.

Do you know what you want to do after?
i'd like to work in the private investing space but im also very open to something more entrepreneurial

Don’t go to Yale. As much as Yale has tried to change its reputation, it’s still the b-school for rich girls who want to run ballet companies and art museums.
much appreciated. been hearing the same all around. where im from yale is a huge deal but seems like booth knocks it out of the park at least within the US
Agreed
Lmao, sounds like a great way to meet a rich girl who wants to run a ballet company or art museum.
I'd go UChicago
thanks so much, definitely leaning this way now.

I would do neither and get work experience.
ahh i just feel like the firm is tier 2/3
You have a job offer. Lateral after two years.
#3 by far

Go with UChicago Booth
thank you. would this close off an mba later though?
Perhaps, but if you wait a while (maybe 3-5 yrs) and you know exactly why you want an MBA probably won't hurt your chances

Bruh what are these suggestions. Take the job and if you hate it after a year a) lateral or b) go to one of these programs with FT work experience + money saved
i have scholarships at both so luckily financially both are ok
In that case, i'd still probably take the job and lateral or go to the program after a year. BUT having scholarships is a big factor - in that case UChicago the better program vs Yale
